CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Specialist Continuing Healthcare Nursing Community
Connecting, Supporting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community designed exclusively for agency nurses working in, or moving into, NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). Our purpose is to bring CHC nurses together in a supportive, confidential and knowledge-rich environment where you can connect, learn, share challenges and grow your career.
We understand that only nurses truly understand other nurses – the long shifts, the emotional load, the pressure of assessments and reviews, and the constant need to stay up to date with CHC frameworks and best practice. Our private network gives you a safe space to relax, ask questions, share experiences and build lasting professional and personal relationships.
With a core community of around 500 experienced CHC agency nurses, we provide 24/7 peer support via invite-only social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and ongoing professional development opportunities focused on Continuing Healthcare, complex care and case management.
A Private, Supportive Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Working as a CHC agency nurse can often feel isolating, especially when you are constantly moving between teams, local authorities and ICB (Integrated Care Board) areas. The CHC Nurses Agency Network solves this by providing a stable, trusted community you can turn to at any time.
Our confidential, invite-only social media groups allow you to discuss professional issues openly with others who understand the realities of CHC nursing – from CHC checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs) to complex case reviews, personal health budgets and multidisciplinary working.
Members regularly share clinical insights, documentation tips, policy updates, agency experiences and work-life balance strategies, creating a powerful collective knowledge base you can draw on daily.
24/7 Peer Support and Professional Discussion
Our network operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year through several secure, invite-only online groups. Whether you are on a night shift, preparing for a difficult assessment, or just finishing a challenging day, there is always another CHC nurse online who understands what you are going through.
Within these groups, you can safely raise professional concerns, ethical dilemmas, clinical queries and career questions, and receive honest, informed feedback from nurses who work in the same field and under the same pressures.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups and Learning Opportunities
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs a range of regular events designed to strengthen connections between members and support continuing professional development. These sessions also help you stay up to date with changes to CHC policy, frameworks and best practice.
Our events include informal meet-ups, virtual coffee mornings, structured webinars, peer-led workshops and topic-specific discussion panels focused on Continuing Healthcare and complex care nursing.
Building Lasting Professional Relationships and Friendships
Many nurses in our network have not only expanded their professional contacts but have also formed genuine friendships that last for years. Members regularly support each other through career transitions, complex case challenges and personal life events.
Because everyone in the network understands the demands of CHC agency work, conversations are grounded in empathy, respect and shared experience, helping you feel less alone and more valued in your professional life.
Professional Development for CHC and Complex Care Nursing
While we are first and foremost a community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network also provides strong support for your professional development in Continuing Healthcare. Through shared resources, peer mentoring and informal training sessions, we help you build confidence and competence in complex CHC roles.
Members regularly discuss and share best practice around CHC assessments, DSTs, appeals, case management, safeguarding, MDT working, person-centred care planning and documentation, helping you stay aligned with the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and local ICB requirements.
CHC-Focused Knowledge Sharing and Skills Building
Our peer-led approach allows you to learn directly from experienced CHC nurses who work in ICBs, local authorities, hospitals, community teams and independent agencies. This gives you practical advice that reflects real-world expectations, rather than abstract theory.
We encourage open discussion of templates, report writing, clinical justification, evidence gathering and communication with families and professionals, so you can continually refine your CHC practice and deliver safe, person-centred care.
A Central Hub for CHC Agency Nurses Working Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network welcomes nurses from a wide range of backgrounds, including RGNs, RMNs, RNLDs and other registered professionals who work in Continuing Healthcare, complex care and associated community services.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, our network gives you a central hub where you can compare practice across different ICBs, understand regional variations and learn how others handle similar challenges.
Sharing Real-World CHC Experience and Insight
Our core membership of approximately 500 CHC agency nursing professionals ensures that discussions reflect the full range of CHC practice in the UK. You will find insight from nurses working in assessment teams, review teams, brokerage, case management, appeals and fast track.
This diversity of experience means you can quickly access practical advice on almost any CHC topic – from managing conflict in MDT meetings to balancing agency flexibility with professional development and career progression.
