CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, bringing together expert training, practical consultancy support and a thriving community of nursing professionals. We help nurses, case managers and healthcare organisations deliver safe, effective and compliant CHC services while supporting nurses’ wellbeing and career development.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we provide a confidential space to share professional issues 24/7/365, build lasting connections and stay up to date with the latest CHC guidance, best practice and legislation.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the workload, emotional impact and daily pressures of nursing. The CHC Nurses Agency Network was created to give CHC agency nurses a place to relax, connect and grow professionally – with people who genuinely understand the challenges of the role.
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together, and many of our members build friendships and professional relationships that last for years. New members are warmly welcomed into our private, invite‑only social media groups and professional forums.
Whether you are new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced CHC nurse seeking specialist support, our network helps you:
- Build strong professional contacts in CHC and complex care
- Reduce isolation and stress through peer support
- Access up‑to‑date CHC knowledge and resources
- Enhance your skills, confidence and career opportunities

Transitions in Care and Complex Discharges
Transitions such as hospital discharge to home or community settings can be high risk and stressful for individuals and families. We provide expert guidance on:
- Planning and coordinating safe CHC discharges
- Ensuring continuity of care across settings
- Communicating effectively with MDTs and families
- Reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding risks
Our focus is always on patient safety, dignity and choice, supporting both providers and nurses to deliver smooth, well‑managed transitions.

By identifying risks early and strengthening your systems, we help you demonstrate safe, effective and person‑centred care to regulators and commissioners.
