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

A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses in the UK

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK.
We connect nurses working in complex care, community settings and agency roles, helping them share knowledge, access peer support and develop their CHC careers with confidence.

As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of the job.
Our network provides a safe, relaxed and professional space where CHC agency nurses can talk openly, ask questions, get practical advice and build long‑term friendships with colleagues who “get it”.

Through our private invite‑only social media groups, online community and regular events, we support a core membership of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share real‑world experience 24‑7‑365.
Whether you are new to CHC, experienced in agency work or exploring new roles, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to help you feel less isolated and more empowered in your nursing journey.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional, peer‑led community that brings together nurses who work in, or are interested in, NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and related community‑based complex care roles.
We provide a confidential, supportive forum where members can discuss CHC cases, agency work, career options and best practice in a safe and respectful environment.

Our aim is to make life easier for CHC agency nurses by offering:

• Access to a large network of CHC‑experienced colleagues.
• Opportunities to ask questions and get honest, practical feedback.
• Invitations to regular networking events, meet‑ups and webinars.
• Information and guidance on CHC processes, assessments and documentation.
• A friendly community where many nurses become long‑term friends and professional allies.
