CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
Connecting, Supporting & Empowering CHC and Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and support hub for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care, and agency roles. We bring together over 500 experienced nursing professionals in private, confidential groups to share knowledge, solve professional challenges, and build long-term peer relationships.
Our mission is to make professional life easier for CHC and agency nurses by offering a safe space to talk openly, access specialist guidance, and develop the skills needed to deliver outstanding, person-centred care.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Unique Peer Network for CHC and Agency Nurses
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures of high‑stakes decision‑making, complex caseloads, and constant service demands. The CHC Nurses Agency Network connects you with colleagues who understand your daily reality because they live it too.
Our members support each other with real-time advice on CHC assessments, D2A pathways, fast-track cases, agency working, and community care, helping you feel less isolated and more confident in your practice.
A Safe, Relaxed Space to Talk About Real Issues
We run invite-only social media groups and regular networking events where nurses can talk honestly about clinical, professional, and workplace issues in a safe and supportive environment.
Many nurses in our network form strong friendships, stay connected between shifts, and continue to support each other for years.
Designed by CHC & Agency Nurses, for CHC & Agency Nurses
Our network is built and run by nurses who have worked extensively in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community nursing, independent case management, and agency roles. We understand the challenges of navigating CHC frameworks, managing complex patients, and working across multiple providers.
Every element of the network—from the topics we discuss to the events we run—is tailored specifically to CHC nurses, agency nurses, and community-based professionals.
What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
Private Social Media Groups for CHC Agency Nurses
24/7 Peer Support in Confidential, Invite-Only Communities
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays in touch through confidential invite-only social media groups, available 24/7, 365 days a year.
Members use these spaces to ask questions, share experiences, discuss CHC eligibility decisions, care planning, safeguarding, documentation, and professional boundaries, and to support each other through challenging days.
Events, Meet-Ups & Networking Opportunities
Bringing CHC Nurses Together Online and In Person
We host regular events to bring our community of CHC and agency nurses together, including online sessions and, where possible, in-person meet-ups.
These events focus on continuing healthcare practice, community care pathways, professional wellbeing, regulatory changes, and career development—and they also provide a relaxed environment to connect socially.
Professional Development & Knowledge Sharing
Build Confidence in CHC, Community Care & Agency Nursing
Through the network, nurses gain access to shared resources, peer-led guidance, and signposting to relevant training, updates, and best practice advice related to CHC and community services.
Topics frequently discussed include CHC assessments, MDTs, discharge planning, documentation for funding reviews, risk assessments, care transitions, and multidisciplinary working.
Support with CHC, Community DOL & Complex Care
Peer Insight for Real-World Clinical and Legal Challenges
Members regularly exchange experience-based advice on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility, community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications, complex care packages, and case escalation.
While the network does not replace formal legal or employer-specific guidance, it provides valuable peer insight to help you approach difficult situations with greater clarity and confidence.
Wellbeing, Burnout Prevention & Work-Life Support
A Community That Understands the Emotional Load of Nursing
The emotional weight of working in CHC and agency roles—especially with complex cases and high caseloads—can be overwhelming.
Our community offers a place to debrief, offload and access emotional support from people who truly understand, helping to reduce isolation, stress, and burnout.
