CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Support for Continuing Healthcare & Agency Nurses
A Professional Community for CHC & Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and related care settings. Our goal is to bring CHC nurses together, provide specialist CHC training, peer support, and expert guidance so you can deliver safer, higher-quality care and build a fulfilling nursing career.
We understand the unique pressures of agency and CHC nursing – from complex assessments to changing environments and demanding caseloads. That is why our network is built by nurses, for nurses, with a strong focus on real-world practice, professional resilience, and better outcomes for patients.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a friendly, confidential space where CHC and agency nurses can connect, learn and share. With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer:
- Private, invite-only social media groups for CHC nurses
- Regular events, workshops and webinars focused on Continuing Healthcare
- Peer-to-peer support 24/7/365 for professional questions and challenges
- Access to CHC knowledge, tips and best practice shared by experienced nurses
- Opportunities to build long-term friendships and professional networks
Only nurses truly understand the reality of nursing – the responsibility, the emotional load, and the daily stress. Our network exists so you never feel you’re managing CHC and agency work alone.

Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Guidance
We provide clear, practical information and informal training support around NHS Continuing Healthcare, helping agency and CHC nurses feel more confident with:
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the Decision Support Tool (DST)
- Recognising when a patient may need a CHC assessment
- Documenting needs clearly, accurately and in line with CHC requirements
- Working with multidisciplinary teams in CHC-funded packages
Practical, Nurse-Led Learning
All discussions and sessions are grounded in real practice. Network members share examples, tips and lessons learned from front-line CHC work so you can apply knowledge directly in your day-to-day role.
Events, Workshops & Webinars for CHC Nurses
We run regular online and in-person events to support CHC and agency nurses at every stage of their career. These may include:
- Live Q&A sessions with experienced CHC nurses
- Workshops on documentation, safeguarding and complex care
- Peer-led discussions on professional boundaries, stress and resilience
- Networking sessions to build professional contacts in CHC and agency work
Learning with People Who Understand Agency Nursing
Because our events are created by nurses who actively work in CHC and agency roles, they focus on the real challenges you face – not theory alone. You will leave with practical ideas you can use immediately in your practice.
Private Online Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Confidential, Supportive Social Media Groups
Our core network of around 500 CHC Agency Nurses stay in touch through confidential, invite-only social media groups. These spaces are strictly moderated and created for professional support and networking, not public debate.
24/7 Peer Support from Experienced CHC Nurses
Members openly share professional issues 24-7-365, including clinical questions, CHC process queries, workplace challenges and career decisions. It’s a space where you can ask, learn and discuss without judgement, supported by peers who understand your role.
Building Long-Term Friendships & Professional Networks
Many nurses in our network become friends for life, staying connected across different agencies, trusts and care settings. The CHC Nurses Agency Network is not just about information; it’s about community, solidarity and shared experience.
A Place to Relax & Recharge with Other Nurses
Alongside clinical and professional topics, we also encourage informal conversation, encouragement and support. Nursing is demanding; having a safe space to talk with others who “get it” can make a significant difference to your wellbeing.
