CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community

The UK’s Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK. We provide a unique blend of professional training, CHC expertise, consultancy support, community networking and case management services designed to raise standards of care and make working in CHC both easier and more rewarding.

We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities, and daily challenges of nursing. That’s why our network brings CHC nurses together to share knowledge, solve complex CHC issues, support each other emotionally, and continuously improve the delivery of person-centred care in all settings.

A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a professional community and safe space for CHC agency nurses. With a core membership of around 500 Continuing Healthcare nursing professionals, our private, invite-only social media groups and events offer support and connection 24/7, 365 days a year.

Many nurses in our network form lasting friendships, keep in touch regularly, and use the network to debrief, ask questions, share best practice and navigate the complexities of CHC work. New members are always welcomed into our private online groups, networking events and educational sessions.

CHC Training and Professional Development for Nurses

Our CHC training programmes are designed specifically for agency nurses and healthcare providers working in, or moving into, Continuing Healthcare. We help you build up-to-date clinical, legal and procedural knowledge so you can work confidently across all parts of the CHC pathway.

Whether you are an experienced CHC nurse or just starting to explore CHC roles, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers tailored courses and workshops to meet your learning needs, support your professional development and enhance the quality of care you deliver.

We work collaboratively with families, commissioners and care teams to develop individualised, person-centred support plans that reflect the individual’s preferences, communication needs, goals and risks, while meeting all clinical and regulatory requirements.

Regular CHC Events, Workshops & Networking

We run a busy calendar of CHC events, study days, webinars, workshops and networking sessions for nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. These events provide a relaxed, friendly environment to learn, share experiences and build professional connections.

Many of our sessions focus on current CHC policy changes, practical case studies, documentation tips, and real-world problem-solving, always grounded in the realities of agency and CHC practice.
