CHC Nurses Agency Network | UK CHC Nurses Community, Training & Support
A Professional Network for UK Continuing Healthcare Nurses & Agency Practitioners
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in
Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and complex care roles across the UK.
We connect CHC nurses, offer peer support, and provide access to expert knowledge, events and
resources that make working in CHC safer, easier and more rewarding.
Only another nurse truly understands the realities of agency work, CHC assessments,
daily pressures and the emotional impact of frontline nursing. Our network exists to
bring CHC nurses together, help you build strong professional relationships, and support
your career development while protecting your wellbeing.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing, invite-only community of around
500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share knowledge, opportunities and support
24/7/365 through confidential online groups and regular in-person and virtual events.
Members include CHC nurse assessors, case managers, agency nurses, bank nurses,
clinical leads and independent practitioners working within ICBs, local authorities,
independent providers and community settings.
Core Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
1. Professional Peer Support for CHC & Agency Nurses
Our network offers a safe, confidential space where CHC and agency nurses can
discuss clinical issues, CHC processes, assessments, DSTs, safeguarding and caseload
challenges with colleagues who genuinely understand your world.
Through our private social media groups, you can ask questions, share experiences,
seek advice on complex cases and get real-time support from experienced CHC practitioners,
day or night.
2. Specialist CHC Training, Learning & Professional Development
We help CHC and agency nurses develop their careers with access to specialist training,
CPD opportunities and learning resources focused on Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Topics include NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, CHC assessments and reviews,
care planning, MDT working, legal and ethical issues, documentation, and best practice
in community and complex care settings, all designed to enhance your competence
and confidence in CHC roles.
3. Networking, Collaboration & Career Opportunities
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a powerful place to build professional contacts,
find new opportunities and collaborate with like-minded CHC clinicians across the UK.
Many of our members form long-term friendships and professional partnerships, and
regularly share shifts, roles, independent work opportunities and referrals through
the network in a supportive and ethical way.
4. Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Community Access
Members are invited to join our confidential, invite-only social media groups,
where professional issues are openly discussed and support is available around the clock.
These moderated groups are designed exclusively for CHC agency nurses and related
professionals, ensuring conversations remain relevant, respectful and focused on
improving practice and protecting patients.
5. A Place to Relax, Reflect & Look After Your Wellbeing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a space to unwind, debrief and look after your
mental health with people who truly understand the pressures of CHC and agency nursing.
We encourage open conversation about stress, burnout, boundaries and work–life balance,
and our community culture is centred on kindness, professionalism and mutual respect.
Events, Meet-Ups & CHC Learning Sessions
Regular CHC Networking Events for Agency & Bank Nurses
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together,
including informal meet-ups, case discussion sessions, and structured learning events.
These gatherings help you stay updated on CHC policy changes, share best practice,
and build strong professional relationships with colleagues across different regions
and organisations.
Workshops, Webinars & CHC Knowledge Sharing
Our network hosts and promotes workshops and webinars on Continuing Healthcare
and related topics, supporting nurses to stay current and compliant with UK standards.
You can expect sessions on CHC eligibility, DSTs, fast-track pathways, personal health
budgets, dispute resolution, documentation, risk management and safeguarding, all
delivered or facilitated by experienced CHC practitioners.
