CHC Nurses Agency Network – Your Community for CHC Training, Support & Professional Growth
Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network – Supporting Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based community and resource hub dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses. We connect CHC professionals, provide specialist training, and offer practical support to help you deliver safe, high-quality care in every placement.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network recognises the unique pressures of agency work in CHC. We offer a trusted space to share experiences, ask questions, access expert guidance and develop your career in line with NHS CHC frameworks, CQC expectations and professional standards.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner, CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you stay confident, compliant and well-connected in this specialist field.
What CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
CHC-Focused Training & Professional Development
Specialist Courses in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
We deliver specialist CHC education designed specifically for agency nurses, covering eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), care planning, funding pathways and best practice in documentation. Our sessions are led by experienced CHC clinicians and case managers, giving you practical, real-world insights you can apply immediately in your roles.
Training is suitable for nurses who are new to CHC as well as those seeking to refresh or deepen their CHC expertise to secure more complex and higher-paying assignments.
Education on Complex Care and Care Transitions
Agency nurses are often central to complex care packages and transitions between hospital, community and home. Our network provides education on safe discharge planning, multi-agency working, risk management, escalation processes and maintaining continuity of care for CHC-funded and fast-track patients.
This training helps you manage high-risk transitions confidently and supports you to maintain patient safety, dignity and satisfaction across all settings.
Supportive CHC Nurse Community & Networking
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups. Members share clinical queries, documentation tips, professional concerns and placement advice 24-7-365.
Because only another nurse truly understands the demands and emotional load of our work, this community provides a safe place to debrief, problem-solve and support each other through challenging situations in CHC practice.
Professional Networking, Mentoring & Friendships
We actively encourage networking and informal mentoring within our group so you can build strong professional relationships with other CHC nurses across the UK. Many nurses in our network develop long-term friendships and peer support systems that continue for years.
By engaging in the network, you increase your opportunities for new placements, specialist roles, collaborative projects and support in navigating complex CHC cases.
Events, Workshops & CHC Knowledge Sharing
Regular CHC Events, Webinars and Meet-Ups
We organise regular online and in-person events focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare updates, policy changes, best practice in CHC assessments, and real-case learning. Our workshops and seminars are designed to keep you up to date with current guidance, frameworks and local commissioning expectations.
These events are ideal for revalidation evidence, CPD portfolios and demonstrating your CHC competence to agencies and commissioning bodies.
Ongoing CHC Updates & Resource Sharing
Members benefit from regular CHC news, policy updates, guidance documents and practical tools shared within our groups. We highlight important changes in eligibility criteria, assessment processes, Fast Track, reviews and appeals so that agency nurses can stay compliant and informed.
Having quick access to this collective knowledge helps you work more efficiently, avoid common pitfalls and deliver consistent, high-quality CHC care.
Practical CHC Case Support & Career Guidance
Peer Discussion on CHC Cases & Documentation
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, nurses have the opportunity to discuss anonymised CHC cases, ask for guidance on CHC pathways, MDT meetings, dispute resolution and receive peer advice on evidence-based documentation that supports robust clinical decision-making.
This collaborative approach helps you strengthen your clinical reasoning skills, improve record-keeping and feel more confident when representing patients in CHC-related processes.
Career Support for CHC Agency Nurses
We support nurses to develop sustainable careers in CHC agency work by offering guidance on finding reputable agencies, choosing appropriate placements, negotiating roles, preparing for interviews and planning your longer-term professional development in the CHC field.
Our mentors and experienced members can help you identify specialisms, build your CHC portfolio and maintain a balanced, rewarding agency nursing career.
