CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Professional Support for CHC Nurses

Connecting & Empowering Nurses Working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing, and community-based care. We bring CHC nurses together to share knowledge, build strong peer support, and access specialised training and career development opportunities that are tailored to the realities of CHC practice.

We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, complexity, and emotional impact of nursing. That is why our network exists: to connect CHC nurses who “get it”, provide a safe space for discussion, and offer practical resources that help you deliver outstanding patient care while protecting your own wellbeing.

Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a vibrant, supportive environment where nurses can connect, learn, and grow together. Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, our network helps you stay confident, competent, and up to date.

Members benefit from peer-to-peer support, private social media groups, and regular events focused on CHC practice, case management, and regulatory frameworks. Many nurses in our network form strong professional relationships that develop into lasting friendships and long-term collaboration.

By becoming part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain a trusted community and access to the latest discussion, resources, and shared experience relating to NHS Continuing Healthcare, care planning, case management, and community care.

What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers

1. A Supportive Community for CHC & Agency Nurses

Our network is a place to relax, debrief, and be understood. Through invite-only online groups and in-person events, you can talk openly about professional issues, complex cases, emotional challenges, and day-to-day pressures of nursing in CHC. The community is active 24/7/365, so there is always someone available who understands the realities of your work.

2. Private, Confidential Social Media Groups

We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC nurses can share experiences, ask questions, and seek advice in a safe, moderated environment. These groups are designed to protect your privacy while encouraging honest discussion about CHC assessments, funding decisions, case law, documentation, and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working.

3. Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Networking Opportunities

The CHC Nurses Agency Network organises regular events, including informal meet-ups, professional development sessions, and specialist workshops focused on Continuing Healthcare. These CHC nurse networking events help you build professional contacts, share best practice, and stay up to date with evolving CHC guidance, local commissioning policies, and community care pathways.

4. Knowledge Sharing & Professional Development

We openly share professional issues and practical tips around CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), checklists, care plans, and community case management. Members regularly discuss real-world scenarios, helping one another improve clinical documentation, navigate complex funding decisions, and promote fair, patient-centred outcomes.

5. Specialist Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

Unlike generic nursing networks, our community is built specifically around Continuing Healthcare. We recognise the distinct challenges of CHC nursing, including understanding NHS vs social care funding, complex needs, community placements, and multidisciplinary working. The network is an ideal space to deepen your CHC knowledge and stay aligned with current practice and policy.

6. Career Support for Agency & CHC Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports your career growth by helping you build your professional profile, increase your confidence in CHC work, and connect with like-minded professionals. Through ongoing discussion, signposting, and peer advice, you can explore new opportunities, develop specialist skills, and enhance your value as a CHC nurse or case manager.

Our Commitment to CHC Nurses & Community-Based Care

We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and knowledgeable environment for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and agency roles. Our focus is on mutual support, professional respect, and shared learning that ultimately benefits the patients and families we serve.

By connecting CHC nurses across different regions and settings, the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you feel less isolated, more informed, and better equipped to navigate the complexity of CHC work. Together, we promote high standards of care, ethical decision-making, and person-centred practice in community and Continuing Healthcare environments.
