What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Our network provides a relaxed, non-judgemental environment where CHC agency nurses can talk openly about the pressures of work, shift challenges, and complex patient situations.
We host multiple invite-only social media groups that are moderated to remain professional, confidential, and supportive 24/7, 365 days a year.
Regular Events, Meetups & Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events to bring our community together for education, networking, and mutual support.
From informal catch‑ups to structured webinars, our events give you the chance to share experiences, explore best practice in CHC, and grow your confidence in handling complex community cases.
Peer Learning and Knowledge Sharing
Within our core network, nurses share real-life CHC scenarios, documentation tips, and regulatory updates in a safe, members-only space.
Members regularly discuss topics such as CHC Decision Support Tools (DSTs), multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings, care reviews, and community case management, helping each other navigate day-to-day challenges more effectively.
Professional Development for CHC Agency Nurses
CHC Training, Workshops & Webinars
To support your professional growth, our network promotes and hosts CHC-focused training sessions for agency nurses, covering the areas that matter most in everyday practice.
These sessions can include:
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework.
- Best practice in completing CHC assessments and documentation.
- Working effectively within community CHC packages and complex care settings.
- Maintaining compliance with UK healthcare and safeguarding standards.
Our aim is to help you stay up-to-date, confident, and compliant while working across different services and settings.
Guidance on CHC Case Management & Care Planning
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you can learn from peers who specialise in complex CHC case management, care planning, and multidisciplinary coordination.
We openly share tips and examples on:
- Creating person-centred care plans in line with CHC funding decisions.
- Managing risk, escalation, and emergency situations in the community.
- Balancing clinical responsibilities with documentation and reporting demands.
Focus on Person-Centred CHC Care
Learning Disability (LD) & Complex Needs Support
Many nurses in our network work with individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, and complex physical or mental health needs within CHC packages.
Through shared case discussion and peer support, members explore ways to deliver safe, person-centred care that promotes independence, dignity, and wellbeing in community or residential settings.
Developing Effective Care & Support Plans
Our community regularly discusses how to build robust, person-centred care and support plans that reflect both clinical needs and personal preferences.
By learning from each other’s experience, CHC agency nurses can strengthen their care planning skills and align their practice with UK best practice and regulatory expectations.
Staying Up-to-Date with CHC Policy & Practice
Sharing Updates on CHC Frameworks and Guidance
CHC is a complex and evolving area of practice, and staying current with the latest National Framework, ICB policies, and commissioning guidance is essential for safe practice.
Within our network, members share reliable information, policy updates, and useful resources to help each other remain informed and compliant in their day-to-day CHC roles.
Learning from Real CHC Cases and Experiences
Agency nurses working in CHC often encounter diverse cases across different providers, giving them a unique perspective on what works well in practice.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network harnesses this collective experience, enabling members to learn from real-world examples, reflective practice, and peer discussion rather than theory alone.
Wellbeing, Peer Support & Work–Life Balance
A Safe Space to Talk About the Reality of Nursing
Nursing—especially in complex Continuing Healthcare settings—can be emotionally and physically demanding.
Our community gives you a safe, trusted space to share the highs and lows of practice with people who genuinely understand, helping to protect your wellbeing, resilience, and mental health.
