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 nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, agency nursing, and complex community care.
We provide a safe, supportive space where CHC agency nurses can connect, share expertise, access practical resources, and develop professionally through training, peer support, and regular networking events.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Our network brings together over 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals who understand the unique pressures, responsibilities, and challenges of working in Continuing Healthcare.
Only another nurse truly understands the emotional load, long hours, and complex decision-making that go into CHC and community nursing—our network ensures you never have to face those challenges alone.
A Safe, Relaxed Space for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed to be a place to relax, reflect, and recharge away from the intensity of clinical environments.
We offer confidential, invite-only online groups where members can talk openly, ask questions, share experiences, and receive moral and professional support from colleagues who genuinely understand their work.
A Growing Community & Professional Network
Most nurses in our network stay in regular contact and build strong professional and personal relationships; many become friends and remain connected for years.
We actively welcome new CHC agency nurses into our community, supporting you to settle in, connect with others, and feel part of a professional network that has your back 24/7.
CHC Training, Events & Professional Development
As well as being a peer support network, we help CHC nurses deepen their specialist knowledge and keep up to date with best practice, policy, and regulation.
Specialist CHC Training and Knowledge Sharing
Our community openly shares Continuing Healthcare expertise, including CHC assessment processes, eligibility criteria, Funded Nursing Care (FNC), care planning, and case management.
Members discuss real-world scenarios (confidentially), share templates and tools, and exchange guidance on working effectively within CHC frameworks in both NHS and social care settings.
Regular Events for CHC Agency Nurses
We organise regular online and in-person events that bring CHC agency nurses together to learn, connect, and support one another.
These events cover topics such as CHC best practice, documentation and evidence, multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working, safeguarding, and managing complex community packages, as well as wellbeing and resilience for nurses.
Peer-Led Learning and Mentoring
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, experienced members frequently offer informal mentoring and guidance to nurses who are newer to CHC or agency work.
This peer-led approach helps members rapidly build confidence, understand expectations in CHC roles, and navigate complex funding and assessment pathways more effectively.
24/7 Confidential Support Through Private Social Media Groups
We maintain several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses can access support at any time, from anywhere.
Our core network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals share professional issues, ask questions, and offer assistance 24-7-365, making sure no nurse feels isolated in their role.
Professional Issues, Discussed Openly and Safely
Members use our groups to raise questions about CHC assessments, documentation, MDT meetings, care transitions, safeguarding, learning disability support, and working with commissioners.
All discussions are moderated for professionalism and confidentiality, creating a trusted environment where sensitive practice issues can be explored with peers.
Emotional Support and Wellbeing for CHC Nurses
CHC and agency nursing can be emotionally demanding, especially when dealing with complex needs, end-of-life care, and high caseloads.
Our network offers a supportive community that listens, understands, and shares strategies for managing stress, preventing burnout, and maintaining a healthy work–life balance.
Supporting CHC Nurses Working in Community & Complex Care
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is particularly valuable for nurses working independently or across multiple settings, such as community packages, care homes, and step-down services.
Support with Complex Needs and Learning Disabilities
Members of our network regularly work with individuals with learning disabilities, autism, complex physical health needs, and challenging behaviour.
Within the group, nurses share approaches to person-centred planning, risk management, positive behaviour support, communication strategies, and collaboration with families and multi-agency teams.
Safe Transitions and Continuity of Care
Many CHC nurses are involved in care transitions, such as hospital-to-home discharges, step-down from acute care, or moving between providers.
Our network enables nurses to discuss how to coordinate safer transitions, improve communication between teams, and maintain continuity of care for adults with complex health needs.
