CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to supporting nurses and healthcare providers working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We combine expert CHC training, consultancy, and peer networking to help agency nurses, case managers, and providers deliver safe, effective, and compliant care.
Our network is built by nurses, for nurses. We understand the pressures of agency nursing in CHC, from complex assessments and care planning to navigating funding and CQC requirements. That is why we provide high-quality education, practical guidance, and a supportive community where CHC professionals can connect, learn, and grow together.
Whether you are an agency nurse specialising in CHC, a provider preparing for CQC inspection, or a professional looking to strengthen your knowledge of CHC eligibility and Community DoLS, CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to support your professional journey.
