Our invite-only network brings together agency nurses, case managers, and CHC practitioners from across the UK, giving you access to peer support, expert guidance, professional development opportunities, and a safe space to discuss the realities of working in CHC.
Whether you are an experienced CHC nurse, new to CHC, or a healthcare provider looking to connect with expert professionals, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is your trusted partner for knowledge, collaboration, and support.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Professional Community Dedicated to CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing, supportive community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals who connect daily through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular online and in-person events.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical, and professional demands of nursing, particularly in NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care. Our network exists to provide a non-judgemental space where you can ask questions, share concerns, celebrate wins, and learn from others who do what you do.
A Place to Relax, Learn and Grow
Our private groups and events give CHC nurses a place to relax, offload and connect with like-minded professionals who understand the pressures of caseloads, assessments, audits, complex placements, and multi-agency working.
Many members build long-term professional relationships and friendships that last for years, helping them navigate both career decisions and day-to-day clinical challenges.
