CHC Nurses Agency Network: The UK Community for CHC Agency Nurses

The Leading Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses in the UK

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses who work in, or are interested in, Continuing Healthcare (CHC) across the UK.
We connect CHC nurses, provide specialist CHC knowledge and resources, and support your professional growth in this complex and highly regulated area of practice.

Our network is a place to relax, share experiences and build your CHC career with people who truly understand the pressures and responsibilities of nursing.
With a core membership of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer a confidential, supportive environment where you can ask questions, gain insights and develop your expertise 24/7.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invite-only community that brings together CHC assessors, agency nurses, case managers and CHC specialists working across NHS Continuing Healthcare and related services.
We focus on collaboration, learning, networking and peer support to help you navigate the realities of CHC work and agency nursing.

We know that only another nurse truly understands the emotional and professional demands of nursing, especially in complex CHC assessments, funding decisions and discharge planning.
Our network exists to make your professional life easier, more informed and better connected.

A Relaxed, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed to be a safe, relaxed space where you can share ideas, challenges and best practice with colleagues who do the same work as you.
Many nurses in our network form lasting friendships and professional partnerships that continue for years.

We operate through a number of confidential, invite-only social media groups, where members can post questions, discuss complex CHC cases (anonymously and ethically), and support each other with day-to-day issues in CHC and agency work.

Specialist Support for CHC Nurses and CHC Practice

Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Knowledge and Peer Learning

Our core focus is Continuing Healthcare, and we support members to deepen their understanding of NHS CHC eligibility, the National Framework, MDT assessments, DSTs and appeals.
Through shared experience and peer learning, you gain practical insight into how CHC really works on the ground.

Members regularly discuss topics such as:

CHC checklist and DST completion tips
Handling complex cases and challenging domains
Effective communication with families, CHC teams and care providers
Balancing clinical judgement with CHC policy and guidance
Approaches to appeals and reviews in CHC

Professional Development and Career Growth in CHC

As an agency nurse, building a long-term career in CHC can feel isolating; our network helps you to develop your CHC profile, reputation and skills over time.
We share opportunities, advice and insight to support your progression into CHC assessor roles, case management, consultancy or specialist clinical practice.

Members use the network to:

Ask for guidance on entering or transitioning into CHC roles
Share training recommendations and educational resources
Explore agency opportunities relevant to CHC skills
Connect with experienced CHC nurses for informal mentoring

Events, Networking and CHC Community Engagement

Regular CHC Events for Agency Nurses

We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together.
These sessions cover current issues in Continuing Healthcare, National Framework updates, case discussions, best practice sharing and wellbeing support for nurses.

Stay up to date with CHC policy and practice
Discuss real-world CHC scenarios with peers
Grow your professional network across the UK
Feel part of a supportive, like-minded community

24/7 Support Through Private Social Media Groups

Our CHC Nurses Agency Network is active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year through private, confidential social media groups.
Members share professional issues, ask clinical and CHC-related questions, and offer moral support whenever it’s needed.

Whether you are on a night shift working on a complex CHC assessment, preparing for a difficult discharge meeting, or just needing to debrief with somebody who understands, the network is there to support you.

CHC Insight, Case Management and Practice Support

Sharing Best Practice in CHC Case Management

Many members of our network work in or alongside CHC case management, and share their expertise in managing complex care packages, risk, safeguarding and person-centred planning.
This gives you access to a broad range of real-world perspectives that can strengthen your own practice.

Topics commonly discussed include:

Coordinating CHC-funded community and care home packages
Working effectively with local authorities and providers
Ensuring person-centred, legally compliant documentation
Navigating disputes, reviews and changes in eligibility

Support for Complex Care, Learning Disabilities and Transitions

Our members frequently work with individuals with learning disabilities, complex physical health needs and challenging behaviour, often within a CHC or joint-funded context.
Through shared discussion, you can improve your approach to person-centred care, risk management and complex transitions between settings.

This peer support is particularly valuable when managing:

Hospital discharge and step-down or step-up pathways
Transitions between children’s and adult services
Care planning for behavioural, cognitive and mental health needs
Maintaining dignity, independence and safety in complex cases
