CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Community for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Professionals
A Professional Network Dedicated to CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care.
We connect experienced CHC nurses, provide peer support, and share specialist knowledge to help you deliver safe, person-centred care while building a sustainable, rewarding nursing career.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, our confidential online groups and regular events create a safe, supportive space where nurses can relax, share experiences, ask questions, and solve complex CHC and community practice issues together.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses to Connect and Grow
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, workload, and emotional impact that come with frontline care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a place where CHC agency nurses can be open and honest about the realities of practice, without judgement and without compromising confidentiality.
Members use our private social media groups 24/7, 365 days a year to discuss professional issues, share CHC-related updates, and offer practical solutions on everything from complex assessments and care planning to documentation, audits, and regulatory expectations.
Building Lasting Professional and Personal Connections
Many nurses in our network become long-term colleagues and friends, staying in touch for years as they move between roles, agencies, and organisations.
We actively welcome new CHC nurses, giving you instant access to a strong peer group who understand the specific challenges of working as an agency nurse in Continuing Healthcare.
Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
Specialist CHC Knowledge Sharing & Peer Support
Real-World Guidance on CHC Practice, Assessments, and Documentation
Within our invite-only groups, CHC agency nurses share real-world insights on eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), multidisciplinary team working, appeals, and funding decisions.
This ongoing peer-to-peer learning supports safer, more consistent CHC practice across different settings and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).
Members can ask questions, seek second opinions, and access the collective experience of hundreds of CHC professionals, helping you feel more confident and supported in complex community-based roles.
Continuing Healthcare Training, Events & Workshops
Stay Up to Date with CHC Frameworks, Policy and Best Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network organises regular online and in-person events focused on Continuing Healthcare, community nursing, and person-centred practice.
These sessions help nurses stay aligned with the latest CHC National Framework guidance, legal cases, and local commissioning practices.
From introductory CHC overviews to more advanced case-based discussions, our workshops are designed to strengthen your knowledge, enhance documentation quality, and improve outcomes for adults with complex ongoing healthcare needs.
Professional Networking for Agency Nurses
Build Contacts, Discover Opportunities, and Shape Your Nursing Career
Our network offers opportunities to connect with fellow CHC agency nurses, team leaders, case managers, and other community-based professionals across the UK.
These connections often lead to new roles, collaborative projects, clinical support, and long-term mentorship relationships.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner, joining our network can help you navigate agency work more confidently and strategically plan your next career steps.
Support with Complex Community & CHC Cases
Peer-Led Problem Solving for Challenging Situations
CHC and community roles often involve complex, high-risk cases, rapid discharges, and sensitive family dynamics.
Through our private channels, members can talk through difficult situations with experienced colleagues, exploring safe, ethical, and person-centred approaches while maintaining confidentiality.
This collaborative problem solving supports better decision-making, reduces professional isolation, and promotes better continuity and quality of care for patients and families.
How the CHC Nurses Agency Network Works
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Access
Our core activity takes place in confidential, invite-only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals communicate openly on a daily basis.
Because agency and CHC work rarely fits into standard office hours, our network is active around the clock, allowing you to connect whenever you need support or guidance.
Regular Meet-Ups, Webinars & Community Events
We run regular events to bring our CHC nursing community together — from informal online meet-ups and Q&A sessions to focused webinars and in-person gatherings.
These events strengthen relationships within the network, help reduce stress, and offer a chance to share knowledge in a relaxed, supportive environment.
A Growing Community of CHC Specialists
Our membership continues to grow as more agency nurses move into Continuing Healthcare and community-based roles.
By joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you become part of a specialist community that understands your work, values your expertise, and wants to see you succeed.
