CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
The UK’s Dedicated Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses. We bring together Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses from across the UK to share knowledge, build professional connections, access support, and grow their careers in a safe, understanding environment.
We understand the realities of working as an agency nurse in CHC – the pressures of assessments, funding decisions, community visits, reviews, and dealing with complex cases. That is why our network focuses on practical support, peer-to-peer learning, and real-world guidance to make your professional life easier and more rewarding.

Only another nurse truly understands the demands and emotional load that comes with CHC practice, and our network connects you with colleagues who work in the same field and face the same daily challenges.
Supportive, Confidential Professional Space
Our invite-only social media groups and online spaces are confidential, safe, and moderated, allowing you to share questions, concerns, and professional experiences 24/7 without judgement.
