CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Expert CHC Nursing Support
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community nursing, and complex care. We provide a safe space to connect, relax, share experience, and access expert guidance on CHC practice, case management, and clinical decision-making.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional impact of nursing. Our network brings together over 500 experienced CHC agency nurses in confidential, invite-only social media groups and live events, where professional issues, complex cases, and best practice are openly discussed 24/7.
Whether you are new to CHC or an established specialist, our community helps you grow your knowledge, improve patient outcomes, and build long-lasting professional relationships and friendships.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a collaborative hub for Continuing Healthcare nurses, case managers, and healthcare professionals who want to stay updated, feel supported, and develop their careers within CHC and community care.
We focus on three key areas: peer support, specialist CHC education, and expert guidance around complex CHC cases. Members gain access to private social media groups, online and in-person events, and a community that genuinely understands the realities of CHC nursing.
Core Benefits of Joining CHC Nurses Agency Network
1. A Supportive Community That Understands CHC Nursing
Peer-to-Peer Support 24/7/365
Our network is a place to decompress, ask questions, and share concerns with professionals who truly understand CHC workloads, assessments, and decision-making pressures.
Nurses in our community stay in regular contact through confidential, invite-only social media groups, where they can discuss day-to-day challenges, seek second opinions, and share resources in a safe and supportive environment.
Long-Lasting Professional Relationships
Many members form strong connections that evolve into life-long friendships, working together across agencies, CCGs/ICBs, and care providers while continuously supporting each other’s professional growth.
2. Events, Networking & Knowledge Sharing
Regular CHC-Focused Events
We run regular events, workshops and meet-ups designed specifically for CHC agency nurses and professionals involved in community and complex care.
These sessions cover current topics such as CHC eligibility criteria, MDT decision-making, care planning, community DoLS applications, and best practice in case management, while also offering time to socialise and de-stress with peers.
Sharing Real-World Learning
Our events and online discussions are grounded in real-life CHC practice, enabling members to learn from each other’s case experiences, challenges, and successes in different regions and organisations.
3. Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development
CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Review Training
We support professional development through CHC-focused learning opportunities that help nurses and healthcare professionals deepen their understanding of the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, eligibility decision-making, and review processes.
Training topics include checklist and DST completion, MDT roles, evidence gathering, person-centred documentation, and defensible decision-making, helping practitioners build confidence and maintain high standards of practice.
Community DoLS & Legal Framework Awareness
Our network also shares guidance and signposting around community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications, Mental Capacity Act principles, and legal frameworks relevant to CHC and complex care in the community.
By improving knowledge in these areas, we help CHC nurses support lawful, person-centred, and rights-based care for adults with complex health and social care needs.
Expert Insight into CHC Case Management & Transitions
Supporting Complex CHC Cases
Collaborative Problem-Solving
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, members regularly discuss complex clinical, behavioural and safeguarding scenarios to explore safe, ethical and effective approaches to care.
By sharing case experiences, documentation tips, and multi-agency working strategies, the network helps nurses refine their case management, risk assessment, and escalation skills.
Transitions of Care & Community Support
Ensuring Safe, Person-Centred Transitions
CHC agency nurses are often key to safe transitions between hospital, community, and home settings, particularly for people with high levels of need.
Our network enables professionals to share best practice in discharge planning, community support set-up, handovers, and communication, reducing risks and helping ensure continuity of care.
