CHC Nurses Agency Network – Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-wide community for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We connect CHC professionals, provide peer support, share knowledge, and help you build a stronger, more sustainable nursing career.
Run by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the realities of agency work, CHC caseloads, assessments, and the emotional and practical pressures that come with delivering high-quality care in complex settings.
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Place to Connect, Share and Unwind
The CHC Agency Nurses Network is a safe, relaxed space where you can connect with other CHC professionals who genuinely understand what your day-to-day work involves.
From clinical discussions and CHC queries to sharing challenges and celebrating wins, our network exists to make your professional life easier, more supported, and less isolating.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses, with around 500 active members across the UK.
Members openly share clinical, professional, and agency-related issues 24/7/365, offering practical advice, emotional support, and real-world guidance from nurses who have been there and understand.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups and Learning Opportunities
In-Person and Online Networking Events
We organise regular events to bring our community of CHC nurses together, both online and in person, so you can meet colleagues, build friendships, and expand your professional network.
Many of our members form strong connections and remain friends and professional contacts for years, helping each other find opportunities, troubleshoot cases, and navigate agency life.
CHC Training, Workshops and Professional Development
Alongside networking, the CHC Nurses Agency Network supports your continuing professional development (CPD) with focused CHC training, webinars, and workshops.
Topics include CHC eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) documentation, care planning, funding processes, and regulatory compliance related to Continuing Healthcare in the UK.
Support for CHC Practice and Complex Care
Expertise in Continuing Healthcare and Care Funding
Our network brings together nurses with extensive experience in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care, and funding pathways, so you can ask questions and share best practice in a supportive environment.
Members discuss real-world scenarios around CHC eligibility, appeals, case management, and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working, helping you build confidence in your CHC role.
Sharing Resources, Templates and Practical Tools
Within our private community, nurses regularly share policies, templates, checklists, and documentation examples that make CHC work more efficient and less stressful.
This collaborative approach means you do not have to reinvent the wheel; you can learn from others’ experience and apply proven tools in your own CHC practice.
Community for Learning Disability (LD) and Complex Needs Nurses
Person-Centred Practice and Support Planning
Many of our members work with individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, and other complex needs, and use the network to share person-centred approaches and support planning ideas.
By pooling our collective experience, we help each other promote independence, dignity, choice, and quality of life for the people we support.
Helping You Navigate Agency Work and Regulation
Working With Agencies, ICBs and Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network makes it easier to understand the expectations of nursing agencies, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), and care providers you work with.
Our members openly discuss rates, contracts, expectations, working conditions, and professional boundaries, so you can make better-informed decisions about your agency work.
Quality, Compliance and Best Practice
We regularly talk about topics such as CQC standards, clinical governance, documentation quality, and safe practice, helping agency nurses stay aligned with current UK regulations and guidance.
This peer-to-peer learning helps you protect your registration, deliver safe care, and maintain the highest possible professional standards in CHC settings.
