CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Expert Support for CHC Agency Nurses
UK CHC Agency Nurses Network for Professional Support, Learning & Connection
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses. Our mission is to bring CHC nurses together, provide specialist education, share practical expertise and build a strong peer network that supports better outcomes for patients with complex care needs.
We understand that only another nurse truly grasps the pressures, responsibilities and emotional challenges of nursing. That is why our CHC agency nurse network is designed as a safe, supportive space where you can connect, learn and grow with colleagues who face the same realities every day.

Our private, invite-only social media groups enable nurses to share professional issues 24/7/365 within a trusted network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals.
