CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Support & Training for CHC Agency Nurses
Connecting and Supporting CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses working across the UK.
We provide a safe, relaxed and confidential space where nurses can build professional connections, access peer support, and share the realities of agency nursing in CHC settings.
Our goal is to make your working life easier, less isolating and more rewarding, while supporting your ongoing career development in CHC nursing.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, long shifts and emotional demands of delivering high‑quality care.
Through our invite‑only social media groups, events and activities, the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you connect with colleagues who understand your role, your challenges and your professional ambitions.
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing, independent professional network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals from across the UK.
We bring together nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community settings, care homes, and other commissioned services to share knowledge, support and opportunities.
Members of our network regularly keep in touch, collaborate on complex cases, and share best practice around CHC assessments, funding, MDT processes and day‑to‑day agency work.
Many nurses who join us develop strong friendships and professional relationships that continue for years.
We welcome new members who are working as, or interested in working as, CHC agency nurses.
Once accepted, you can join our private social media groups, attend our events, and participate in open yet confidential discussions about professional issues, 24‑7‑365.
