CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training & Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers Across the UK
In the demanding world of Continuing Healthcare (CHC), nurses and healthcare organisations need more than clinical skills – they need specialist guidance, peer support, and up‑to‑date knowledge to deliver safe, effective and compliant care.
CHC Nurses Agency Network combines expert CHC nursing consultancy, targeted CHC training and a thriving professional network of over 500 CHC agency nurses across the UK.
Whether you are an agency nurse working in CHC, a care home or provider preparing for CQC inspections, or a commissioner seeking robust CHC case management and support, we offer tailored solutions to strengthen care quality, compliance and workforce wellbeing.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service for nurses and organisations involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare and community-based care.
Our private, invite‑only social media groups and regular CHC events create a safe space to connect, share professional issues, and access real‑time peer support 24‑7‑365.
Only nurses truly understand the pressures of nursing – and our network is built by and for CHC nurses who know the realities of agency work, complex care and regulatory expectations.
Most members keep in touch regularly, build long‑term friendships, and support each other through challenging cases, career decisions and professional development.
We welcome new CHC agency nurses into our network to grow their skills, confidence and connections.

Transitions in Care: Supporting Safe Moves Between Settings
Transitions between hospitals, care homes, supported living and home care can be high‑risk for patients and stressful for staff.

Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities (LD) Within CHC
Person‑Centred Care and Support Plans for LD and Complex Needs
