CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training, Consultancy & Community for UK Nurses
Leading UK Network for CHC Nurses, Healthcare Training and Consultancy
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, healthcare providers and organisations across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, practical healthcare consultancy and a supportive professional nursing community to improve patient outcomes, compliance and career development. Our goal is to make complex CHC work easier, safer and more rewarding for nurses and providers alike.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional community and an expert resource for nurses working in CHC and associated fields. Members benefit from regular events, peer support, knowledge sharing and access to specialised CHC training and consultancy services. With around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in our core network, we offer one of the UK’s most active and informed CHC nursing communities.

- A safe space to ask questions and discuss challenging cases.
- Access to up-to-date CHC knowledge, policies and best practice.
