What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

We are a private, invite-only network of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who work across community, domiciliary, and residential care settings.
Our members include registered nurses experienced in CHC assessments, complex care delivery, case management, and community nursing.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network exists to:

• Offer a relaxed, supportive environment where nurses can talk openly about CHC and agency work.
• Help you build professional contacts and learn about new CHC opportunities.
• Provide access to specialist knowledge on CHC processes, frameworks, and best practice.
• Promote peer learning, mentoring, and collaboration across the CHC nursing community.
• Support nurses with practical guidance around compliance, documentation, and working safely as an agency professional.

We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities, and emotional demands of nursing – especially within CHC.
That is why our network is built around trust, respect, and genuine peer support 24/7/365.

Our Core Support & Community Services

Private CHC Agency Nurse Community

Confidential, invite-only social media groups

We host confidential, private social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses.
Within these invite-only spaces, our core network of around 500 CHC professionals share real-time insights, questions, and support every day of the year.

Members use the network to:

• Discuss clinical and professional issues specific to CHC nursing.
• Ask for practical advice on documentation, assessments, and care delivery.
• Share job leads, agency experiences, and working conditions.
• Reflect on challenging cases in a safe and understanding environment.
• Support each other with wellbeing, work–life balance, and resilience.

A place to relax and connect with nurses who “get it”

Our members often say the CHC Nurses Agency Network feels like a place to “exhale”.
It is somewhere you can be open about the realities of agency work and CHC practice, knowing you are among peers who understand the pressures, politics, and pace of the role.

Many of our nurses build friendships that last for years, staying in touch even when working in different regions, agencies, or settings.

Regular CHC-Focused Events & Meetups

Networking, learning and community building

We run regular events to bring our CHC nursing community together, both online and in person.
These events blend networking, peer support, and professional development, tailored to the realities of agency and CHC practice.

Our events include:

• Online meetups for CHC agency nurses in different regions.
• Informal social gatherings to relax and connect with colleagues.
• Topical discussion sessions on CHC policy changes, tools, and documentation.
• Clinical and professional Q&A sessions facilitated by experienced CHC nurses.

Most nurses in our network keep in touch regularly between events, sharing experiences and checking in on each other via our private groups.

Professional Development for CHC Agency Nurses

Develop your CHC knowledge, skills and confidence

The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you to grow your CHC expertise through peer learning, shared resources, and signposting to relevant training and updates.
We support CHC nurses who are new to the field as well as those with extensive experience.

Through our network, you can:

• Stay informed about Continuing Healthcare frameworks and policy changes.
• Learn from peers about best practice in CHC assessments, care planning, and reviews.
• Gain tips on working effectively with ICBs, local authorities, and multi-disciplinary teams.
• Access shared guidance and templates that support safer, more efficient practice.
• Explore different career pathways within CHC and complex care.

We know that agency nurses often miss out on the structured development available in permanent roles.
Our network helps to bridge that gap, so you can continue to progress and feel confident in your CHC practice.

Peer Support for the Realities of CHC & Agency Work

Support with workload, stress and professional dilemmas

Nursing, and particularly CHC nursing, can be emotionally demanding and isolating – especially when working shifts across different organisations as an agency professional.
Our network offers everyday peer support to help you manage:

• Stress, burnout and workload pressures.
• Ethical and clinical dilemmas in complex CHC cases.
• Professional boundaries and safeguarding concerns.
• Challenges around communication and expectations with providers or agencies.
• Confidence issues when working in unfamiliar environments.

Having a trusted group of CHC colleagues to talk to can make the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling supported and understood.

Information Sharing & Collaboration

Sharing real-world CHC experience 24-7-365

Our members openly share professional issues 24-7-365 through our confidential networks.
With nurses working days, nights, weekends, and bank holidays, there is almost always someone available to respond, advise, or simply listen.

Common topics within the network include:

• Experiences with different agencies, providers and placements.
• Best ways to handle complex homecare and community packages.
• Documentation, record-keeping, and audit readiness for CHC roles.
