CHC Nurses Agency Network | Community, Training & Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex community care across the UK.
We bring CHC agency nurses together to share knowledge, build connections, access training, and make day-to-day professional life simpler, safer, and more rewarding.
Our network is built by nurses, for nurses – because only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional demands that come with working in CHC and complex care settings.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, supportive community of over 500 CHC agency nurses who share real-time advice, experiences, and professional support 24/7/365.
Members benefit from access to invite-only social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and shared resources focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare practice, case management, and regulatory compliance.
Many members form strong professional relationships and friendships that last for years, helping them navigate the challenges of CHC nursing with confidence and support.
Support, Networking & Peer Community for CHC Nurses
A Safe Space to Talk About the Realities of CHC Nursing
Working in Continuing Healthcare can be isolating, especially for agency nurses moving between different homes, teams, and providers.
Our network provides a safe, confidential space to discuss clinical challenges, ethical issues, workload pressures, and professional dilemmas with peers who genuinely understand.
From funding disputes and CHC eligibility assessments to complex behaviour support or end-of-life care, our community is there to listen, advise, and support.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
We host several invite-only, confidential social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses.
Within these groups, members can freely share professional issues, ask clinical questions, exchange policy updates, and seek advice on CHC processes, documentation, and best practice.
Support is available around the clock, 365 days a year, from colleagues who have often faced similar situations and can offer practical, experience-based guidance.
Networking: Build Your Professional CHC Contacts
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps members grow a strong professional network across multiple agencies, ICBs, local authorities, and care providers.
Many nurses in our network stay in contact long term, collaborate on cases, share opportunities, and support each other through career changes, revalidation, and role transitions.
This collaborative network often leads to better job opportunities, stronger references, access to specialist knowledge, and improved career progression in CHC nursing.
Professional Development, CHC Training & Events
Regular CHC-Focused Events for Agency Nurses
Workshops, Webinars & Meet-Ups
We organise regular CHC-related events for agency nurses, including online webinars, practical workshops, and informal meet-ups designed to support both learning and wellbeing.
Topics include CHC assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) documentation, care planning, safeguarding, capacity and consent, and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes.
These events are an opportunity to stay updated on policy changes, discuss real-life case scenarios, and build supportive relationships with other CHC professionals.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Knowledge & Best Practice
Supporting Safe, Person-Centred CHC Practice
As part of the network, nurses gain access to shared CHC resources, policy updates, and practical advice to support safe and effective practice in the community.
Members regularly discuss best practice in complex care packages, risk assessments, person-centred care planning, and multidisciplinary working.
This collective knowledge helps CHC agency nurses stay confident and competent when working across different settings, providers, and commissioning bodies.
Peer-Led Learning & Informal Mentoring
Our network naturally supports peer-to-peer learning and informal mentoring.
More experienced CHC nurses often guide newer colleagues, sharing insights on topics such as documentation standards, communication with CHC teams, complex case coordination, and regulatory expectations.
This collaborative approach helps agency nurses at every stage of their career feel supported, informed, and professionally resilient.
