CHC Nurses Agency Network – Continuing Healthcare Training, Community & Support for UK Nurses
A Specialist Community for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Organisations in the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses, and healthcare organisations across the UK. We specialise in CHC training, peer networking, consultancy and practical support designed to make working in Continuing Healthcare more effective, less stressful, and better connected.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the pressures, complexity and regulatory demands of CHC and community-based care. We bring together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in confidential, invite-only social media groups to share knowledge, solve problems, and improve practice every day of the year.
From CHC eligibility and funding guidance through to CQC preparedness, complex case management support and peer mentoring, CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to help you deliver safer, compliant, and person-centred care.
What is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community and support network created to connect Continuing Healthcare nurses, agency nurses and CHC-focused practitioners across the UK. Our aim is to provide a safe, relaxed online environment where nurses can:
- Build professional contacts and long-term relationships with other CHC nurses.
- Share real-world issues and get advice from peers who understand the role.
- Access CHC-specific training, guidance and best practice tips.
- Develop their career in nursing with more knowledge, confidence and support.
- Benefit from regular events, webinars and networking opportunities.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the daily stress, emotional demands and responsibility that come with nursing. Our network creates a place to be heard, to learn, and to grow – while staying updated with CHC policy changes, funding rules and legal frameworks.
