CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Training, Consultancy & Community
Connecting, Supporting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We bring together CHC agency nurses, case managers, and healthcare organisations to share expertise, build connections, and raise standards of care in community and complex care settings. Through targeted CHC training, CQC consultancy, and a strong peer-support network, we make agency nursing more sustainable, informed, and professionally rewarding.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe, Supportive Space to Connect and Grow
We understand the unique pressures that come with agency nursing and CHC work. Only another nurse truly understands the workload, emotional strain, and responsibility involved in delivering high-quality care in complex, fast-changing environments. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides a place to relax, debrief, share challenges, and celebrate wins with like-minded professionals who understand your world.
Our network includes around 500 experienced CHC agency nurses and professionals, many of whom have built strong professional and personal relationships that last for years. Members stay in regular contact through confidential, invite-only social media groups and networking events, offering genuine 24/7 peer support.

CQC and CHC Consultancy for Providers and Agencies
Pre-CQC Assessment and Compliance Support
Preparing for a CQC inspection or improving care quality in CHC settings can be demanding, particularly for providers who rely on agency staff. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy services to help organisations identify compliance gaps, strengthen governance, and demonstrate safe, effective, person-centred care.

Support for CHC Pathways and Complex Transitions
Transitions between hospital, home, and other care settings can be particularly complex for people eligible for CHC. We help providers and nurses create robust, person-centred transition plans that minimise risk, maintain continuity, and respect the individual’s preferences and rights.
Our consultancy covers:
