CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community
Specialist CHC Nurse Network for Training, Peer Support and Consultancy
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare professionals working in agency, community and complex care settings.
We combine expert CHC training, peer-to-peer support, consultancy and regular events to help nurses advance their careers, improve patient outcomes and navigate the realities of modern healthcare.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of nursing.
Our network creates a safe, professional space where CHC agency nurses can connect, learn, share and grow together, 24/7/365.
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together a core group of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals from across the UK via confidential, invite-only social media groups, online forums and in-person events.
We welcome new members who are passionate about Continuing Healthcare, complex care, case management and person-centred practice.
Our aim is simple: to support CHC nurses to deliver safe, effective and compassionate care while building sustainable, rewarding careers.
We provide a mix of education, consultancy, mentoring, networking and wellbeing support designed by nurses, for nurses.
