CHC Nurses Agency Network: Empowering Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare

Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Professional Home in Continuing Healthcare

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex community care across the UK.

We connect agency nurses, provide expert guidance on CHC practice, and offer ongoing peer support to help you thrive in a demanding, highly specialised field.

Through regular events, private social media groups, and shared learning, our network helps you build confidence, stay compliant, and develop your CHC nursing career.

Who We Support: Agency Nurses Working in Continuing Healthcare

Our network is designed specifically for nurses working in, or looking to move into, Continuing Healthcare, complex care, and community-based roles.

By joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain access to peers who truly understand your challenges, and resources tailored to your specialist practice area.

Events, Workshops and Networking for CHC Agency Nurses

Regular Events to Bring CHC Nurses Together

We run regular online and in-person events to bring together CHC agency nurses working across different regions and care settings.

Keeping Up to Date with CHC Practice and Policy

Continuing Healthcare is a complex, evolving area, and agency nurses need to stay up-to-date to work safely and effectively.

Through our network, we share information on CHC framework updates, best practice in complex community care, and relevant professional guidance.

This collective knowledge helps you remain confident in practice, improve documentation, and work in line with current CHC expectations.
