Supporting CHC Nurses, Agencies and Healthcare Providers Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for nurses, agencies and healthcare providers working within Continuing Healthcare (CHC) in the UK.
We combine specialist CHC training, peer support, expert consultancy and a thriving professional community to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Our mission is to empower CHC nurses and organisations with the knowledge, confidence and connections needed to navigate complex NHS Continuing Healthcare processes, CHC funding, Community DoLS, and CQC regulatory requirements.
