CHC Nurses Agency Network | UK CHC Nursing Community, Training & Support

CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Specialist UK Community for CHC Agency Nurses

Connecting, Supporting & Developing Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Nurses Across the UK

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) across the UK. Our network exists to connect CHC nurses, support their well-being, and enhance their knowledge, skills, and confidence in this highly specialised field.

We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, complexity, and emotional demands of CHC work. That is why our network brings together like-minded professionals, creating a safe, supportive space to share challenges, ask questions, learn from each other, and grow your career in CHC nursing.

Through regular events, peer support, learning opportunities, and confidential social media groups, the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you build strong professional relationships, stay up to date with CHC practice and policy, and feel less isolated in your role.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500+ Continuing Healthcare agency nursing professionals connected through private, invite-only online groups and in-person events.

We are not a recruitment agency. Instead, we are a professional network and support hub built by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses, focused on:

Creating a safe place to relax, talk and debrief with colleagues who truly understand CHC work.
Sharing knowledge and experience around CHC assessments, MDTs, eligibility decisions and appeals.
Providing informal mentorship, peer support and career guidance for CHC agency nurses.
Offering training, workshops, and discussion spaces on CHC processes and best practice.
Building lasting friendships and professional connections that support you throughout your career.

Key Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network

A Safe, Relaxed Space for CHC Agency Nurses

CHC nursing can be demanding, isolating, and emotionally draining, especially when working as an agency nurse. Our network creates a relaxed, non-judgemental environment where you can be honest about your experiences, offload, and talk freely with peers who truly understand.

Many members tell us that simply being able to connect with other CHC nurses has made their working lives easier, improved their confidence, and reduced their stress levels.

Professional Networking & Career Development

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an ideal place to build your professional profile and expand your contacts within Continuing Healthcare. Members regularly:

Share insights on CHC roles, contracts and working with different ICBs and providers.
Discuss career progression routes in CHC case management, commissioning, and leadership.
Offer peer mentoring to nurses new to CHC or transitioning from other specialities.
Exchange tips on portfolio building, CPD, and interview preparation.

These connections often lead to long-term friendships, informal mentorships, and new professional opportunities.

Knowledge Sharing & CHC Skills Development

We openly share professional issues 24/7, 365 days a year across our confidential, invite-only social media groups. Typical topics include:

Best practice for completing the CHC Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST).
Managing MDT meetings and working effectively with wider multidisciplinary teams.
Understanding eligibility criteria, national framework updates and local ICB processes.
Approaches to appeals, reviews, funding disputes and complex case management.
Documentation standards, professional boundaries and safe lone working as an agency nurse.

By contributing to discussions and learning from others, you can rapidly deepen your CHC knowledge and strengthen your clinical decision-making in Continuing Healthcare.

Events, Workshops & Community Meet-Ups

Regular Events for CHC Agency Nurses

We run regular online and in-person events designed specifically for CHC agency nurses. These may include:

Interactive case-based discussion sessions on CHC assessments and complex cases.
Workshops covering Continuing Healthcare frameworks, documentation and governance.
Informal virtual coffee mornings and evening meet-ups for peer support and networking.
Guest speaker sessions on topics such as CHC policy changes, DOLS/DoLS, and community DOL applications.

Our events help you stay current, share real-life practice challenges, and build confidence in your approach to CHC work.

Building a Strong, Supportive CHC Nursing Community

The majority of nurses in our network remain in regular contact with each other, long after they first join. Many develop lasting friendships, meet up outside of work and continue to support each other across different roles and organisations.

Whether you are new to CHC nursing or highly experienced, you will find colleagues at every level who are willing to share, support and learn together.

Confidential Social Media Groups for CHC Nurses

Private, Invite-Only Online Communities

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connects through a range of confidential, invite-only social media groups. These groups are carefully moderated to ensure:

A safe, respectful environment for open professional discussion.
No public sharing of cases, identities or confidential information.
Clear boundaries around patient confidentiality and professional conduct.
Supportive, constructive responses to questions and concerns.

Within these groups, members share real-world experiences, ask for advice, reflect on difficult cases (in a de-identified way), and celebrate each other’s successes.

24/7 Peer Support for CHC Agency Nurses

Because our members are spread across the UK, you can usually find someone online to respond to a question or concern at almost any time. This around-the-clock access to peer support is particularly valuable for agency nurses working irregular hours, weekends or nights.

From quick queries about CHC processes to emotional support after a challenging shift, our network is there to help you feel less alone in your role.
