CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Dedicated UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK.
We provide a supportive space to connect, share experiences, access expert guidance, and develop your CHC nursing career with confidence.
Our network understands that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, complexity, and emotional impact of nursing – especially in the CHC field, where funding decisions, complex patient needs, and multi-agency working are part of everyday practice.
Through our private social media groups, regular events, and ongoing peer support, CHC Nurses Agency Network helps agency nurses feel less isolated, more informed, and better equipped to deliver safe, person-centred care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a confidential, invite-only community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share knowledge, support one another, and develop professionally together.
We bring CHC agency nurses together to:
- Build long-lasting professional connections and friendships
- Share real-world CHC nursing experience and best practice
- Discuss professional issues 24/7/365 in a safe, supportive space
- Stay informed on CHC policies, funding, and regulatory changes
- Access networking opportunities, events, and development resources
Many nurses in our network stay connected for years, supporting each other through career changes, complex cases, and personal challenges.

We host regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, share updates, and promote continuous learning.
These events range from informal meet-ups and networking sessions to focused discussions on CHC practice, documentation, MDT working, and managing complex caseloads.

Our community offers shared knowledge and peer-led support around key Continuing Healthcare (CHC) processes, including:

How the CHC Nurses Agency Network Supports Your Career
Career Development for CHC Agency Nurses
We help agency nurses develop their careers by sharing CPD opportunities, specialist CHC resources, job leads, and interview support.
Through peer recommendations and shared experiences, members gain insight into which roles, agencies, and settings suit their skills and lifestyle best.
Keeping You Informed on CHC & Regulatory Changes
