CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Specialist Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and related community settings. We connect CHC agency nurses, offer expert support, and provide a safe space to share knowledge, experiences, and best practice.
Built and run by nurses for nurses, our network helps you navigate the complexity and pressure of CHC work through peer support, regular events, and practical training. We focus on professional development, wellbeing, and high‑quality, person‑centred care for the people you support.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical, and professional demands of this work. The CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you:
- A trusted community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK.
- Private, invite‑only social media groups where you can talk openly 24/7, 365 days a year.
- Regular online and in‑person events to learn, connect, and unwind with colleagues.
- Access to peer-led support on CHC cases, assessments, documentation, and practice challenges.
- Opportunities to build long-lasting friendships and professional contacts that support your career.
Many nurses in our network become friends and stay connected for years, supporting each other through career changes, complex caseloads, and personal challenges.
What We Do for CHC Agency Nurses
Professional Community & Peer Support
Our core service is the CHC agency nurse community, where you can talk honestly and confidentially with other nurses who understand CHC inside out. Through our invite-only groups, members share real‑world advice on:
- Managing complex CHC caseloads and home‑care packages.
- Working effectively with providers, commissioners, and MDTs.
- Balancing agency work with personal life and wellbeing.
- Dealing with burnout, stress, and emotional impact.
Whether you need help with a tricky case, career advice, or simply someone who “gets it”, there is always another CHC nurse online in our network.
Regular Events, Meet‑Ups & Networking
We run regular CHC nurse events throughout the year, both online and face-to-face, to help you grow professionally and socially. Our events include:
- Expert-led webinars on CHC assessments, documentation, and policy changes.
- Peer discussion sessions on real CHC scenarios and best practice.
- Informal social meet‑ups where you can relax and connect with colleagues.
- Panel talks with experienced CHC assessors, case managers, and nurse leaders.
These sessions are designed to help you stay updated, reduce isolation, and build a strong professional network within the CHC sector.
Training & Knowledge Sharing for CHC Practice
Continuing Healthcare is complex and constantly changing. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports your ongoing learning and revalidation by sharing:
- Guidance and discussions on the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
- Tips for high‑quality CHC assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), and reviews.
- Information on Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes and legal responsibilities.
- Best practice examples for person‑centred documentation and evidence gathering.
- Resources to support LD, complex care, and mental health needs in community settings.
Through shared experience, case examples, and peer discussion, you can build confidence in your CHC practice and deliver safer, more consistent care.
Support for Your Career in CHC Agency Nursing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you shape and grow your nursing career within Continuing Healthcare. Our community can support you with:
- Understanding different CHC roles, from assessor to case manager and specialist practitioner.
- Navigating agency work, contracts, and expectations in CHC and community settings.
- Preparing for interviews and developing your CHC‑focused CV and portfolio.
- Gaining confidence to step into more advanced or specialist CHC roles.
By staying connected with other CHC agency nurses, you gain insight into opportunities across the sector and feel more supported in making career decisions.
Our Culture: Safe, Supportive and Confidential
We know how important confidentiality and psychological safety are in nursing. Our network is built on:
- Confidentiality – invite‑only groups with clear rules on privacy and respect.
- Peer respect – nurses supporting nurses, regardless of band, role, or agency.
- Non‑judgement – a space where you can ask questions, admit uncertainty, and learn.
- 24/7 access – support is available whenever you need to talk, share, or de‑stress.
We welcome new members warmly and help you settle into the group so you can benefit from the experience of the wider network from day one.
