CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Trusted Partner for CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Guidance, Training and a Strong Professional Network

In the fast-paced world of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community nursing, professional support and ongoing development are essential for delivering safe, high-quality, person-centred care. The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service created specifically for CHC agency nurses, case managers and healthcare professionals working in CHC and adult social care across the UK.

We combine specialist CHC training, peer-to-peer support, and expert advisory services to help nurses navigate complex CHC processes, build confidence, and develop their careers. Our network exists to make agency nursing in CHC easier, more connected, and better supported – every day of the year.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a confidential, invite-only community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who work across continuing healthcare, community services, and adult social care. We provide a safe space to:

Ask questions and share experiences about CHC assessments, reviews and funding
Discuss clinical, legal and professional issues in a supportive environment
Access CHC-specific training, guidance and resources
Connect with other CHC nurses, case managers and professionals
Develop your career path as a specialist CHC agency nurse

We understand agency nursing from the inside – the pressures, the expectations, and the realities of working within NHS and community CHC pathways. Our network is built by nurses, for nurses.

A Relaxed Yet Professional Space for CHC Agency Nurses

Unlike many formal training bodies, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a relaxed, informal environment where you can be honest, ask for help and share challenges without judgement. We know that:

Only another nurse truly understands the realities of shift work, complex caseloads and emotional pressure
Agency nurses in CHC often feel isolated or unsupported in new placements
Having a trusted group of peers to turn to can make a huge difference to wellbeing and professional confidence

Our goal is simple: to make your professional life as a CHC agency nurse easier, more informed and better connected.

Key Services and Support We Provide

We support nurses and healthcare professionals with targeted CHC training and advisory support designed around real practice. Our focus areas include:

CHC funding and eligibility criteria

Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings and best practice
Community Deprivation of Liberty (Community DoL) processes
Case management and person-centred care planning

We provide up-to-date information on CHC frameworks, policies and legal responsibilities, so you can feel confident that your practice remains safe, compliant and aligned with current guidance.

Support with Complex CHC Processes & Transitions

CHC pathways can be complex – from initial assessments to reviews, fast track funding, and transitions between hospital, home and care settings. Through our network and advisory support, we help nurses to:

Understand CHC assessment and review processes
Support safe, person-centred transitions between care environments
Reduce avoidable breakdowns in care and unnecessary hospital readmissions
Promote continuity of care, dignity and improved outcomes for individuals with complex needs

Stay in regular contact between shifts and placements
Offer informal mentoring to newer agency nurses entering CHC
Develop strong professional relationships that often turn into lifelong friendships

We provide 24/7/365 access to our core community via confidential, invite-only social media groups, so support is always just a message away – whether you’re on nights, between contracts, or working in a new setting.
