CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training & Community
Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, bringing together expert consultancy, focused training, and a supportive community for agency and bank nurses working in CHC and complex care across the UK.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the realities of nursing practice, shift work, and CHC case pressures, which is why our network is built by nurses, for nurses – to support professional development, wellbeing, and excellence in patient care.
Alongside our CHC training, CQC consultancy and case management support, we host regular online and in-person events, maintain private social media groups, and facilitate peer-to-peer collaboration so that CHC nurses can share knowledge, solve problems together, and grow their careers in a safe, confidential environment.
