Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Expert Training, Community and Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy specialising in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training, support and peer networking for agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
Created by nurses, for nurses, our network makes it easier for CHC professionals to stay compliant, build confidence and advance their careers while accessing a safe, supportive community that truly understands the pressures and responsibilities of agency nursing.
Through specialist CHC training, events, consultancy and confidential peer groups, we help nurses deliver high-quality, person-centred care and support organisations to meet NHS CHC, CQC and wider regulatory standards.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invite-only community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who are actively involved in Continuing Healthcare assessments, reviews, case management and complex care.
We provide a relaxed, professional environment where nurses can connect, share knowledge and access ongoing CPD while building long-term friendships and professional relationships.
Members keep in touch through confidential social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and structured training sessions designed around real-world CHC practice and current national guidance.
