CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist CHC Support, Training and Networking for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings. We bring together agency nurses, CHC professionals and healthcare organisations to share knowledge, provide peer support and deliver expert guidance on CHC processes, funding, care planning and professional development.
Whether you are an experienced CHC nurse, new to CHC work, or an organisation seeking specialist support, our network helps you navigate complex CHC pathways, stay up to date with best practice and build a strong, supportive professional community.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Nursing can be demanding and isolating, especially in agency and CHC roles. Our network creates a safe, professional space where nurses can connect with peers who truly understand the pressures of the job, ask questions, and get practical help with CHC cases and career decisions.
We combine expert CHC consultancy with a thriving online community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share real-world experience, resources and support 24/7 through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
- Access to a trusted community of CHC agency nurses across the UK
- Practical support with CHC processes, assessments and care planning
- Regular online and in-person CHC events, workshops and meet-ups
- Opportunities for professional networking, mentoring and collaboration
- A safe, non-judgemental environment to share challenges and successes
What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Does
Our core focus is to support agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care, while helping healthcare providers improve patient outcomes and compliance within the CHC framework.
CHC Training, Education & Resources
We provide specialist CHC training and education designed specifically for agency nurses and independent practitioners. Our sessions cover:
- Understanding CHC eligibility and the National Framework
- Completing Checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and reviews
- Documentation standards and evidence gathering
- Complex care planning and risk management in CHC
- Working effectively with ICBs, CCGs and multi-disciplinary teams
Training is delivered via live events, webinars and online resources, helping you build confidence and competence in CHC practice while earning valuable skills for your nursing career.
Peer Support & Professional Community
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our private, invite-only social media community. Here, nurses freely share professional issues, seek advice and offer support to one another all year round.
Many members build strong friendships and professional connections that last for years, making the network a place to relax, debrief and feel understood, as well as a hub for serious professional discussion and problem-solving.
- 24/7 peer support from experienced CHC agency nurses
- Confidential discussion spaces moderated for professionalism and safety
- Mentoring and informal supervision-style conversations
- Help with difficult cases, documentation and ethical challenges
CHC Consultancy for Nurses & Organisations
Alongside our community, we also offer professional CHC consultancy services for individual nurses and healthcare organisations. This can include:
- Guidance on complex CHC cases and appeals
- Support with CHC documentation, evidence and assessments
- Advice on safe practice, governance and professional boundaries in agency CHC work
- Best-practice guidance for organisations commissioning or managing CHC services
Our aim is to ensure that both nurses and organisations can deliver safe, lawful and person-centred CHC care that meets regulatory expectations and genuinely improves patient outcomes.
Events, Networking & CHC Updates
We run regular events to bring our community together, share updates and deepen CHC expertise. These include:
- Online CHC Q&A sessions and case discussion forums
- Workshops on updates to the CHC National Framework and NHS guidance
- Social meet-ups and networking events for agency nurses
- Themed sessions on topics such as safeguarding, complex behaviour, and end-of-life care in CHC
Our events help you stay ahead of changes in CHC policy, build your professional profile and maintain a strong, supportive network of like-minded professionals.
Supporting CHC Agency Nurses Every Step of the Way
We understand that CHC work can be emotionally and professionally challenging. As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the realities of the role—the long shifts, complex decisions and the pressure to get things right for vulnerable patients.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed to make your professional life easier, safer and more rewarding by giving you somewhere to turn for advice, reassurance and up-to-date CHC information whenever you need it.
Why Professional Development Matters in CHC Nursing
Continuing Healthcare is a fast-evolving area of practice, with frequent changes to guidance, commissioning structures and expectations of documentation and decision-making. Ongoing professional development in CHC is essential to:
- Protect your professional registration and maintain safe practice
- Ensure fair, lawful and consistent CHC decisions
- Advocate effectively for patients and families
- Improve care quality and reduce avoidable risks
By joining our network, you access collective knowledge and experience that would be difficult to gain alone, helping you stay current and confident in your CHC role.
