CHC Nurses Agency Network | UK Continuing Healthcare Nurse Community & Training
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency healthcare professionals, providing specialist support, networking, and training opportunities tailored to CHC practice.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network connects CHC agency nurses who understand the realities of frontline work, funding pressures, MDTs, and complex discharge planning, and who want to share knowledge, experience, and best practice in a safe, supportive environment.
Whether you are new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced CHC nurse, we help you develop your career, stay up to date with CHC frameworks and guidance, and build meaningful professional relationships with colleagues who truly understand the challenges you face.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Relaxed but Professional Space for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a friendly, confidential online and in-person community where CHC agency nurses can relax, talk openly, and gain support from like-minded professionals who work in Continuing Healthcare every day.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the workload, emotional strain, and responsibility of complex CHC caseloads, so we provide a safe forum to share concerns, celebrate successes, and discuss real-world practice issues without judgement.
A Growing Network of CHC Agency Nursing Professionals
Our core network consists of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals from across the UK, including CHC assessors, case managers, nurse practitioners, and agency nurses involved in CHC funding, reviews, and community care.
Members stay connected via confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular online and face-to-face meetups, creating long-term professional relationships and friendships that often last for many years.
Key Benefits of Joining CHC Nurses Agency Network
Professional Networking and Peer Support
Connect with CHC Nurses Who Understand Your Role
The network helps you build professional contacts with CHC nurses and agency professionals who face similar pressures, caseloads, and organisational challenges across ICBs, local authorities, and provider services.
You can ask questions, share experiences, and access informal peer supervision 24-7-365 through our private groups, gaining reassurance, perspective, and practical advice from colleagues who have been in your position.
Continuing Healthcare Knowledge & Career Development
Enhance Your CHC Skills and Confidence
We provide access to CHC-related training sessions, webinars, and shared resources that develop your understanding of the National Framework, CHC eligibility, Decision Support Tool (DST), review processes, and community-based care.
Members benefit from shared tips on improving assessment quality, documentation, and MDT contributions, as well as guidance on navigating agency work, contracts, and professional boundaries in CHC nursing roles.
Regular CHC Events and Community Meetups
Stay Connected Through Online and In-Person Events
We run regular events to bring our community of CHC nurses together, including informal meetups, structured webinars, Q&A sessions, and topic-based discussion groups focused on Continuing Healthcare and community nursing.
These events offer a relaxed environment to share learning, discuss new CHC guidance, explore complex cases (anonymised), and strengthen your professional network across different agencies and regions.
Private Social Media Groups for CHC Agency Nurses
Confidential, Invite-Only Online Spaces
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are invited into private, moderated social media groups where professional issues are openly discussed in a confidential setting, separate from public platforms and employers.
These groups operate around the clock, every day of the year, giving you ongoing support when shifts are tough, decisions are complex, or you simply need to talk to another CHC nurse who understands.
Shared Resources and Best Practice in CHC Nursing
Learn from the Experience of 500+ CHC Professionals
Our community regularly shares useful links, guidance updates, case examples, and practical tools related to Continuing Healthcare assessments, funding decisions, community placements, and complex care planning.
By learning from peers across the UK, you gain insight into how other CHC teams operate, how to handle challenging reviews or appeals, and how to maintain safe, person-centred practice within agency roles.
Who Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network For?
CHC Agency Nurses and CHC Assessors
Our network is ideal for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare through nursing agencies, independent contracts, or flexible CHC roles, including CHC nurse assessors and reviewers.
If you support CHC eligibility assessments, reviews, case management, or complex discharge planning as part of your agency work, you will find a strong community and relevant discussions within our groups.
Nurses Interested in Transitioning into Continuing Healthcare
We also welcome registered nurses who are exploring or transitioning into CHC roles and want to understand what Continuing Healthcare work involves, how agency contracts operate, and what skills are required.
Through conversations with experienced members, you can discover realistic insights into CHC practice, workload expectations, and career progression opportunities before making your next career move.
