CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Dedicated Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings across the UK.
More than just a networking group, we offer a safe, confidential space to connect, share knowledge, access expert guidance and develop your professional CHC nursing career.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional impact of frontline care.
Our private, invite-only groups give CHC agency nurses the opportunity to talk openly, get practical support and build long‑term professional and personal relationships.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals who work across NHS, local authority and independent sectors.
We bring together nurses with experience in CHC assessments, care planning, complex case management, discharge planning and community-based care.
Members of our network benefit from 24/7 peer support, regular online and in‑person events, knowledge‑sharing, and career development opportunities specifically tailored to the needs of CHC agency nurses.
Core Features of the CHC Nurses Agency Network
1. Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
We provide a friendly, confidential environment where CHC agency nurses can connect with colleagues who truly understand the realities of agency work and Continuing Healthcare.
Our members routinely support each other with day‑to‑day issues, difficult cases, ethical challenges and career decisions.
Many nurses who join the network go on to form lasting friendships, collaborating across organisations and remaining in touch long after working together on individual CHC cases.
2. Private Social Media & Messaging Groups (24/7/365)
We run several invite-only social media and messaging groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses, giving you safe spaces to ask questions, debrief, share best practice and discuss complex situations at any time of day or night.
With discussions active 24‑7‑365, you can access peer support, professional opinions and practical advice whenever you need it, wherever you are working in the UK.
3. Events, Workshops & Networking for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network organises regular events, workshops and meet‑ups focused on Continuing Healthcare, complex care and agency nursing.
These sessions help you stay updated on CHC policy changes, assessment frameworks, care planning and wider regulatory developments.
Our events are designed to be relaxed and inclusive, giving you the chance to network with peers, share case experiences, learn new skills and build confidence in managing CHC processes and demanding caseloads.
4. CHC Training, Learning & Professional Development
We support members with access to CHC training opportunities, webinars and learning resources aimed at strengthening their knowledge of NHS Continuing Healthcare, eligibility criteria, MDT processes and person‑centred care planning.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced assessor or case manager, our network helps you identify relevant training, build your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and stay aligned with current best practice in complex care.
5. Peer Support with CHC Case Management & Complex Care
Our community includes CHC nurses experienced in case management, care coordination, discharge planning, fast‑track CHC, and long‑term community packages.
Members openly discuss challenging scenarios and share strategies that support safe, effective, person‑centred care.
This collaborative approach builds your confidence in handling complex CHC cases, multi‑disciplinary team working and family meetings, while ensuring you never feel isolated in your practice as an agency nurse.
6. Guidance on Professional Issues for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly shares information and peer advice on professional issues such as clinical documentation, boundaries of practice, agency expectations, pay rates, scheduling, and role clarity within CHC teams.
By talking openly with colleagues facing similar challenges, you can make better-informed decisions, protect your professional registration, and maintain high standards of care wherever you are placed.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses

A Safe, Confidential Space to Share & Reflect
All of our groups are private and invite‑only, allowing members to discuss professional issues, dilemmas and everyday experiences honestly while respecting confidentiality and professional standards.
Networking That Leads to Real Opportunities

How the CHC Nurses Agency Network Supports You
24/7 Peer Support & Professional Discussion
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stays in regular contact through closed groups, offering around‑the‑clock support with clinical questions, CHC processes and workplace challenges.
You will never have to feel that you are navigating complex CHC decisions or demanding placements alone; someone in the network will understand and be ready to help.
Regular CHC-Focused Events & Meet‑Ups
We host a mix of online sessions and in‑person meet‑ups where nurses can learn, relax, and connect in a supportive environment, with topics ranging from CHC eligibility and reviews to resilience, wellbeing and work‑life balance for agency staff.
These events are ideal for building confidence, knowledge and a sense of community, particularly if you often work independently or rotate between multiple placements.
Sharing Best Practice in Continuing Healthcare
Through ongoing discussion and resource‑sharing, the network promotes best practice in CHC assessments, decision support tools, documentation, safeguarding, and person‑centred planning.
This collaborative learning culture helps members maintain high professional standards while adapting to local pathways, ICB requirements and changes in national guidance.
Emotional Support & Wellbeing
Nursing in CHC and complex care can be emotionally demanding, especially when you work as an agency nurse without a fixed team.
Our network offers peer understanding, encouragement and a place to debrief that supports your mental health and resilience.
