CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Specialist Continuing Healthcare Nursing Community
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses working in agency and independent roles.
We connect CHC nurses, share real-world insight, and support each other to deliver outstanding patient care while building sustainable, flexible careers.
Our private network offers a safe, supportive space where CHC professionals can relax, talk openly, and access practical advice on everything from complex cases and CHC funding to career progression and work–life balance.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Community That Truly Understands CHC Nursing
Only another nurse really understands the realities of frontline care — and only another CHC nurse truly understands the pressures of assessments, funding decisions, multi-disciplinary working, and complex care planning.
With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, our network offers confidential peer support, shared learning, and a place to discuss professional issues honestly, 24/7/365.
Build Strong Professional Contacts & Friendships
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed to help you make meaningful professional contacts and long-lasting friendships with nurses who work in similar roles, face the same pressures, and understand the unique demands of CHC.
Many nurses in our community stay in touch for years, collaborating on opportunities, sharing job leads, and supporting each other through career transitions, revalidation, and role changes within the CHC sector.
What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
Private Social Media Groups for CHC Nurses
We host invite-only, confidential social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses and other CHC professionals.
These are safe spaces where you can raise questions, share challenges, and learn from other experienced nurses without fear of judgment.
From CHC eligibility queries and checklist discussions to documentation tips and MDT experiences, our members openly share professional issues daily to support better, safer, and more confident practice.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & CPD Opportunities
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together.
These include informal meet-ups, peer-support sessions, information webinars, and CPD-focused events covering key elements of Continuing Healthcare practice.
Our events are designed to help you stay up-to-date with evolving CHC policy, case law, and best practice, while giving you the chance to network with fellow CHC nurses, case managers, and health and social care professionals.
Practical Support for Your CHC Nursing Career
Whether you are new to agency CHC work or an established CHC nurse assessor, our network can help you navigate your career more confidently.
We share practical insight on contracts, rates, working with multiple agencies, documentation standards, and how to protect your professional registration while working independently.
Members also gain access to shared resources, peer advice on complex cases, and informal mentoring from experienced CHC nurses who understand both NHS and independent sector expectations.
A Supportive Space for CHC Professional Issues
24/7 Peer Support for CHC-Related Challenges
Working in CHC can be intense, isolating, and emotionally demanding.
Our 24-7-365 support model through multiple confidential social media groups means you are never alone when you need professional reassurance, a sounding board, or a second opinion.
From discussing complex behaviour management, risk assessments and DOL issues to navigating disputes or appeals, our community offers practical, experience-based feedback you can trust.
Safe, Confidential & Professionally Focused
All of our groups are invite-only and moderated to maintain a professional, respectful environment.
We encourage discussion that is evidence-informed, reflective, and respectful of confidentiality, helping CHC nurses to learn and grow without compromising professional standards.
Our aim is to make your life as a CHC agency nurse easier, safer, and more fulfilling — by ensuring you always have a supportive community to turn to.
Professional Development in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Grow Your Knowledge of CHC, Community DOL & Case Management
While we are first and foremost a community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network also signposts members to learning and development opportunities related to:
- CHC eligibility criteria, checklists and full assessments
- Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and MDT best practice
- Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) and legal frameworks
- Complex care planning and risk management in the community
- Working effectively with ICBs, local authorities and providers
- Documentation standards and professional accountability
By sharing resources, recommended courses, and peer experience, we help CHC nurses to build confidence, strengthen clinical reasoning, and support robust, defensible decisions in challenging cases.
Stay Current with CHC Policy & Best Practice
Continuing Healthcare is a fast-moving field influenced by national frameworks, local interpretation, case law, and policy updates.
Within the network, members regularly share updates, guidance and learning from practice to help each other stay compliant and current.
This collaborative approach to learning means you benefit from the collective knowledge of hundreds of CHC nurses, instead of trying to keep up alone.
