CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses

Connecting CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK With Training, Networking and Practical Support

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare professionals. We bring nurses together to share knowledge, access specialist CHC training, grow professionally, and support each other through the unique challenges of CHC work in hospitals, community and social care settings.

Our private, invite-only groups and events create a safe, professional space where CHC agency nurses can relax, connect, ask questions, and learn from others who truly understand the pressures, responsibilities and rewards of CHC nursing.

Our Mission and Values

Championing Excellence in Continuing Healthcare Nursing

The mission of CHC Nurses Agency Network is to raise standards in Continuing Healthcare by empowering CHC agency nurses with high-quality information, peer support, and training. We are driven by professionalism, integrity, collaboration and compassion in everything we do.

A Community Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses

We believe only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and professional demands of CHC work. Our community is designed to support you as a person and as a professional, offering a place to share wins, challenges, and practical solutions 24/7/365.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

A Safe, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an informal yet highly professional community of around 500 Continuing Healthcare agency nurses across the UK. Members connect via confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular events, building long-lasting friendships and professional networks.

Many members tell us the Network has become their “go-to place” for advice, reassurance and up-to-date CHC information—especially when working on complex cases or navigating pressures around funding, eligibility and care planning.

Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gain access to exclusive online spaces where they can:

  • Ask real-time questions about CHC processes and complex cases
  • Share best practice, templates and documentation tips
  • Discuss professional challenges confidentially with peers

  • Access informal mentoring from more experienced CHC nurses

Our social media groups operate 24-7-365, so support is available whenever you need it—whether you’re on a night shift, in between visits, or reflecting after a challenging day.
