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 for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency healthcare professionals across the UK, providing peer support, expert knowledge-sharing, and ongoing professional development.
Built by CHC nurses for CHC nurses, our network helps you navigate complex CHC assessments, care planning, and regulatory requirements while connecting you with colleagues who truly understand the realities of agency nursing.
Relax, Connect, and Grow Your CHC Nursing Career
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a safe space to connect, unwind, and share experiences with other CHC agency nurses who face the same pressures, challenges, and responsibilities every day.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the emotional and physical demands of nursing, so our network is designed to offer both practical advice and genuine peer support whenever you need it.
Build Lasting Professional Contacts and Friendships
Members of our network regularly keep in touch through private invite-only social media groups, forming strong professional relationships that often grow into long-term friendships.
Whether you are new to CHC nursing or highly experienced, our community helps you build a trusted network of colleagues who can offer guidance, share opportunities, and support your career progression.
Regular CHC Nursing Events, Training & Networking
Workshops, Peer Meetings and CHC-Focused Events
We run regular events for CHC agency nurses, including online meetups, educational sessions, and networking opportunities designed to keep you informed and connected.
Our events give you the chance to discuss real cases, explore best practice in CHC, share local knowledge, and stay updated with the latest changes to NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks and policy.
Enhance Your Skills and Confidence in CHC Practice
Through our community and events, we support CHC nurses to strengthen their understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, decision support tools, reviews, community DOLs, care planning, and multidisciplinary working.
By learning collaboratively with peers already working in CHC across the UK, you can build confidence, improve your documentation and decision-making, and enhance the quality of care you provide.
24/7 Peer Support Through Private Social Media Groups
Confidential, Invite-Only Online Communities
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay connected through a range of private, invite-only social media groups that are monitored and managed to remain supportive and confidential.
Members use these spaces to ask clinical and professional questions, share experiences of different CCGs/ICBs and providers, discuss best practice, and seek advice on complex CHC cases in a safe, non-judgemental environment.
Share Professional Issues 24-7-365
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is available all year round, giving you access to peers who can respond quickly when you need help or reassurance with a CHC-related query or workplace concern.
This ongoing interaction helps reduce professional isolation, supports your wellbeing, and ensures you are never alone when facing challenging decisions in Continuing Healthcare.
Specialist Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DOLs
Shared Expertise in CHC Assessments, Reviews and Appeals
Many of our members specialise in CHC assessments, reviews, fast-track applications, and appeals, creating a rich knowledge base that you can tap into at any time.
Within the network, nurses share insights on completing CHC documentation, preparing for multidisciplinary team meetings, managing eligibility disputes, and working effectively with commissioners and providers.
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) Processes
The network also includes nurses experienced in community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) applications and associated legal frameworks, who exchange best practice and practical tips on safe, lawful care planning.
This peer-led knowledge-sharing helps you stay up to date with evolving guidance around liberty protection safeguards, risk management, and person-centred care in community settings.
Support for Care Planning, Complex Cases and Transitions
Managing Complex CHC Caseloads
CHC agency nurses often work with highly complex patients, including those with long-term conditions, neurological needs, mental health issues, and Learning Disabilities (LD), and our network reflects this breadth of experience.
Members openly discuss approaches to care planning, risk assessment, safeguarding, and multidisciplinary working, helping each other to find safe and effective solutions for complex situations.
Transitions Between Care Settings
Our community shares practical strategies for supporting safe transitions between hospital, community and care home settings, with a focus on continuity of care, communication, and reducing avoidable readmissions.
This collaborative problem-solving helps CHC nurses deliver consistent, person-centred care across different environments while maintaining regulatory and documentation standards.
