CHC Nurses Agency Network | Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Specialist Network for CHC & Agency Nurses to Connect, Learn and Thrive
Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency nurses who want to connect, share expertise, and grow their careers in a supportive environment.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibility, and emotional demands that come with frontline care. Our network provides a safe, relaxed space where nurses can talk openly, gain practical support, and access specialist resources related to CHC nursing, agency work, case management, and CQC-related practice.
With an active core of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups, we help you make meaningful professional contacts, build lasting friendships, and access expert knowledge 24/7/365.
What We Offer CHC & Agency Nurses
As a CHC nurse or agency nurse, your time is valuable. The CHC Nurses Agency Network has been designed to make your professional life easier, more informed, and better connected.
From peer support and networking to CHC training, community DOL process guidance, transition support, and person-centred care resources, we bring everything together in one friendly, accessible network.
Community, Connection & Peer Support for CHC Nurses
A Relaxed, Supportive Space for Agency Nurses
Nursing can be isolating, especially in agency and CHC roles where you move between services and teams. Our network is a place to relax, debrief and be understood by colleagues who truly “get it”.
Members regularly share real-life professional issues, ask questions, and offer advice on CHC assessments, documentation, funding decisions, safeguarding, complex care packages, and day-to-day challenges in community and agency work.
Invite-Only Social Media Groups
We host several private, confidential social media groups where nurses connect 24-7-365. These invite-only spaces are moderated to keep them safe, respectful, and focused on professional development and support.
Within these groups, CHC and agency nurses share clinical insights, CHC eligibility experiences, case examples, policy updates, templates, and practical tips that can help you deliver safe, person-centred care.
Building Friendships and Long-Term Professional Networks
Many members of our network not only support each other professionally but also become long-term friends, staying in contact for years after first connecting through the CHC Nurses Agency Network.
Whether you are newly stepping into CHC nursing or have years of agency experience, our community allows you to find your tribe, grow your confidence, and feel less alone in the pressures of modern healthcare.
Specialist CHC Training, Resources & Events
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DOL Application Process Support
The network provides access to information and events focused on CHC eligibility assessments, community care packages, and Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) application processes, helping nurses feel more confident in this complex area.
Through webinars, discussions, and shared resources, our community helps you understand funding routes, decision support tools, multidisciplinary working, and documentation so you can navigate CHC processes safely and effectively.
Training in Transitions, Discharge and Person-Centred Care
We explore best practice around transitions of care – for example from hospital to home, between services, or into community placements – with a strong focus on patient safety, communication, and continuity of care.
Our network promotes person-centred care planning, supporting nurses to develop plans that respect individual preferences, culture, capacity, and risk whilst promoting independence, dignity and quality of life.
Regular Networking Events and Online Meet-Ups
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC and agency nurses together. These may include informal meet-ups, Q&A sessions, themed discussions, and CPD-focused webinars.
Events are designed to help you stay up-to-date with current practice, build your professional profile, share learning, and widen your CHC nursing network.
Support for CHC Practice, Case Management & Compliance
Peer-Led Support with CHC Case Management
Many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are involved in case management, complex community care, and multidisciplinary coordination, and openly share insights on structuring safe, holistic care.
By learning from each other, nurses gain practical strategies for coordinating multiple providers, advocating for patients, documenting risk, and maintaining continuity of care across different settings.
Sharing Best Practice for CQC-Related Work
Although we are primarily a network and not a consultancy, our community frequently discusses CQC expectations, documentation standards, audit preparation, and quality indicators within CHC and community services.
Members share real examples of policies, care plans, risk assessments, and incident reporting processes that support safe practice and regulatory compliance in agency and CHC nursing roles.
Person-Centred Support for People with Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many CHC nurses in our network support individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and complex physical or mental health needs. Our community actively shares approaches to person-centred care and support planning in these areas.
By exchanging ideas and resources, we encourage safe, empowering and dignity-focused care that aligns with current evidence-based practice and legal frameworks.
