CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Nurses
Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare providers. We bring together experienced CHC nurses, agency professionals and healthcare organisations to improve standards of care, strengthen compliance and support professional development.
Through expert-led CHC training, consultancy, case management support and regular networking events, we help nurses grow their expertise while enabling providers to deliver safe, person-centred and compliant CHC services.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Community and Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a trusted, confidential space where agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare can connect, share challenges and support one another 24/7. With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, members are never alone in navigating complex cases or workplace pressures.
We host invite-only social media groups and online communities where nurses openly discuss professional issues, regulatory changes, documentation, assessments and real-world CHC practice.
Events, Networking and Long-Term Connections
We run regular online and in-person events that bring CHC agency nurses together to learn, unwind and build strong professional relationships. Many members form lasting friendships and remain in touch for years, offering each other ongoing guidance, clinical insight and emotional support.
New members are always welcome to join our CHC Agency Nurses Network, attend events and access our private community spaces designed specifically for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare.
