CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC agency nurses with expert training, consultancy and a strong professional network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations. We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and case management with a thriving professional community, helping nurses build their careers, improve patient outcomes and stay fully compliant with current regulations.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the realities of agency nursing in CHC, community settings and complex care. We provide the knowledge, practical tools and peer support you need to deliver safe, person-centred care while navigating complex CHC processes with confidence.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional support network and a specialist CHC consultancy. We bring together over 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular events.
Our community is a place to relax, connect and share expertise. Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional load and responsibility that come with frontline CHC work. That’s why we offer a safe space to ask questions, seek advice, share updates and support each other 24/7/365.
Alongside our network, we deliver high-quality CHC training, pre-CQC support, learning disability planning and case management to agencies, providers and individual nurses across the UK.
