CHC Nurses Agency Network: Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses
The UK Community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses.
We bring together agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), case management and complex care across the UK to share knowledge, support each other and develop professionally.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, our network provides a safe, friendly space to connect, learn and grow in your nursing career.
A Supportive Network for CHC Agency Nurses
We understand that agency nursing in CHC can sometimes feel isolating and stressful.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures of daily practice, complex decision-making and the responsibility that comes with working in Continuing Healthcare.
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch through private, confidential and invite‑only social media groups, supporting one another 24/7, 365 days a year.
Relax, Connect and Share with Like‑Minded Professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place where you can relax, be yourself and talk openly with colleagues who truly “get it”.
Many nurses within our network become friends and remain close for years, building a trusted professional and personal support system.
From everyday work challenges to complex CHC cases, you can ask questions, share experiences and gain reassurance from a community that understands your world.
Private Social Media Groups and Online Community
Our members are invited into confidential, invite‑only social media groups where CHC nurses can:
– Discuss professional issues related to Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
– Share best practice, tools and resources for CHC assessments and reviews.
– Ask for advice on challenging cases, documentation and MDT meetings.
– Decompress after tough shifts with people who understand the pressures of agency work.
We welcome new members who are actively working or interested in working within CHC and associated fields.
Regular Events, Meet‑Ups and Professional Development
Alongside our online community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events to bring our nurses together.
We host a mix of online and in‑person meet‑ups, offering opportunities to strengthen relationships, improve practice and stay up‑to‑date with CHC developments.
These gatherings help you grow professionally while also maintaining your wellbeing and work‑life balance.
CHC‑Focused Workshops, Webinars and Networking Sessions
Our events are designed specifically around the needs of CHC agency nurses, covering topics such as:
– CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) and assessment best practice.
– Care planning and case management within NHS Continuing Healthcare.
– Working effectively with ICBs, local authorities, providers and families.

Through workshops, webinars and informal Q&A sessions, you can learn from peers and experienced CHC professionals.

Knowledge Sharing and CHC Resources for Nurses
Our network is not just social – it is a hub of CHC knowledge and practical resources to help you excel in your role.
Members share templates, lessons learned and real‑world tips that make CHC work more efficient and less stressful.
This peer‑to‑peer learning helps you deliver better outcomes for patients while protecting your professional registration and wellbeing.
Peer Support for CHC Assessments, Reviews and Appeals
We know that CHC assessments, reviews and appeals can be intense and complex for agency nurses.
Within our network you can seek support on:
– Preparing for MDT meetings and CHC assessments.

Updates on Policy, Guidance and Best Practice in CHC
Continuing Healthcare in England is shaped by national guidance, local policy and evolving case law.
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly share:
– Updates on the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS‑funded Nursing Care.
– Changes in ICB processes, local policies and documentation requirements.
– Emerging trends affecting CHC funding, commissioning and service delivery.
This helps you stay current, compliant and prepared for change, even while working across different agencies and regions.
Looking After You: Wellbeing and Work‑Life Balance
Working in CHC can be emotionally and mentally demanding, especially when you are constantly adapting to new settings as an agency nurse.
Our community offers a space where you can talk honestly about stress, burnout and work pressures without judgement.
By sharing coping strategies and supporting one another, we aim to protect the wellbeing of CHC nurses across the UK.
