CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Nurses

A Dedicated UK Network for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by nurses, for nurses, with a focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care in the UK. We bring together agency nurses and healthcare professionals who work within CHC, offering peer support, knowledge-sharing, events, and learning opportunities to help you thrive in your nursing career.

As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional demands of our work. Our network provides a safe, confidential space where CHC agency nurses can connect, decompress, and receive the professional and emotional support they need.

  • Connect with other CHC agency nurses who understand your work.
  • Access peer support 24-7-365 via confidential online groups.
  • Stay up to date with UK CHC guidance, frameworks, and best practice.
  • Develop your clinical knowledge and professional confidence.

A Relaxed, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Agency Nurses Network is designed to be a place where you can relax, talk openly, and connect with colleagues who “get it”. Many of our members stay in contact long-term, with friendships and professional collaborations that last for years.

A Private, Confidential Community

We run several invite-only social media groups where nurses can share concerns, ask questions, and discuss CHC-related issues in a safe, confidential environment. Our groups are moderated to maintain professionalism, respect, and privacy.

Peer Support from Experienced CHC Nurses

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency professionals includes nurses with extensive experience across Continuing Healthcare, complex community care, learning disabilities, and mental health. Members openly share practical advice, templates, and insights that support everyday practice.

Professional Development, Training & CHC Knowledge Sharing

Beyond social support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is committed to helping nurses build expertise in Continuing Healthcare and related areas such as funding assessments, care planning, and legal frameworks.

CHC-Focused Learning and Guidance

We share resources, webinars, and guidance on topics such as CHC eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), care planning, and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications, helping nurses stay informed and confident in their practice.

Support with Complex Cases and Documentation

Through group discussions and peer support, members can explore complex CHC cases, documentation challenges, and multidisciplinary working, gaining practical, real-world advice from colleagues who have faced similar situations.

Regular CHC Events, Meet-Ups & Networking Opportunities

We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together. These sessions combine networking, learning, and informal peer support to help you grow both professionally and personally.

CHC-Themed Workshops and Discussions

Our events often focus on current CHC topics, including policy changes, best practice in assessments, managing complex packages of care, and working effectively with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and local authorities.

Building Long-Term Professional Connections

Most nurses in our network remain in regular contact, attending events, sharing opportunities, and supporting each other through the challenges of agency nursing in Continuing Healthcare.

Person-Centred Practice and Complex Care Support

Many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network work with individuals who have complex, long-term health needs, including learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, and progressive illnesses. Our community promotes person-centred practice and high-quality, ethical care.

Nurses within our network regularly share approaches to person-centred care planning, risk assessment, and communication with families and multidisciplinary teams, helping each other to improve outcomes and maintain dignity and independence for service users.
