CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Expert Support for CHC Nurses
The UK’s Specialist Community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses and healthcare providers working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) across the UK. We bring CHC nurses together to share expertise, build careers, and improve standards of complex care through peer support, specialist training, events, and consultancy. Our mission is to make CHC practice easier, safer, and more rewarding for nurses, while supporting better outcomes for patients and their families.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional impact of our work. That is why the CHC Nurses Agency Network was created: to provide a safe, supportive space where CHC professionals can connect, learn, and grow together.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Connect with Nurses Who Understand CHC Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is first and foremost a community of CHC agency nurses who understand the realities of working in complex care, domiciliary settings, and community-based CHC packages. Our members regularly share experiences, advice, and practical solutions to everyday clinical and professional challenges.
We actively welcome new CHC nurses into our private social media groups and invite-only networking spaces. Within our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, many nurses develop lasting friendships, ongoing peer support relationships, and strong professional connections that continue for years.
24/7 Peer Support Through Private Social Media Groups
Our network stays connected through a range of confidential, invite-only social media groups, where professional issues are openly and safely discussed 24-7-365. Whether you are facing a complex CHC case, navigating documentation, or simply need to debrief after a difficult shift, there is always someone in the CHC Nurses Agency Network who understands and can offer support.
This ongoing communication helps CHC nurses feel less isolated, particularly when working as agency staff or in lone-working community roles, and promotes safer, more consistent care for patients with complex health needs.
Specialist Development for CHC & Complex Care Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Skills, Training & Knowledge Sharing
We are passionate about raising the standard of Continuing Healthcare practice through ongoing learning and professional development. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides access to specialist CHC training opportunities, discussion threads, shared resources, and peer-led learning to help you feel confident in every aspect of CHC nursing.
Topics regularly explored within the network include:
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework
- Evidence-based care planning for complex health needs
- Risk management, clinical documentation, and safe lone working
- Working effectively with multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) and commissioners
- Best practice for domiciliary and community CHC packages
- Professional boundaries, self-care, and managing work-related stress
Our aim is to ensure CHC agency nurses have the knowledge, tools, and confidence to deliver high-quality, person-centred care in every setting.
Support With Documentation, Compliance & Case Management
Although we are first a professional network, many of our shared conversations and resources focus on documentation, governance, and compliance, helping members feel better prepared for audits, reviews, and quality checks by commissioners or providers.
Within our groups, experienced CHC nurses freely share practical guidance on:
- Comprehensive care plans and risk assessments for CHC clients
- Accurate record-keeping and daily documentation
- Supporting best-interest decisions and safeguarding considerations
- Collaborating with case managers and CHC teams to support coordinated care
- Understanding local procedures around reviews, appeals, and reassessments
This level of peer-to-peer support helps agency nurses deliver safer care, protect their registration, and contribute effectively to high-quality CHC services.
Events, Meet-Ups & Networking for CHC Nurses
Regular Events to Bring the CHC Nursing Community Together
We know that real connection happens when people come together in person and online. The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events designed to help nurses relax, share experiences, and develop professionally.
Our events and activities may include:
- Informal meet-ups and social gatherings for CHC nurses
- Online webinars, Q&A sessions, and live discussions
- Peer-led case discussions on CHC practice and complex care
- Networking sessions for agency nurses and independent practitioners
- Occasional guest speakers on CHC-related topics
These events provide an opportunity to build your professional network, learn from others, and feel part of a supportive CHC community, no matter which agency or organisation you work with.
Relax, Recharge & Share the Realities of CHC Nursing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a place to unwind and be yourself. Our members understand the emotional and physical demands of CHC nursing, and our events often combine professional discussion with time to relax, recharge, and enjoy being around colleagues who truly understand your world.
Many nurses in the network describe it as a “safe space” where they can be open about the challenges of practice, celebrate successes, and feel genuinely supported by their peers.
Building Long-Term Relationships & Career Support
Friendships and Professional Connections That Last
Over time, many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network move beyond being just colleagues or contacts. Friendships are formed, mentorships develop, and long-term support networks grow, often continuing even when nurses change agencies, employers, or regions.
These relationships can be invaluable when exploring new career paths, specialist roles, or leadership opportunities within CHC and complex care.
Supporting Your CHC Nursing Career Journey
While we are not a recruitment agency, the CHC Nurses Agency Network naturally helps members to develop professionally. Through our community, you can:
- Gain insights into CHC career options and advanced practice roles
- Learn from nurses working in a variety of CHC settings and agencies

All of this contributes to a stronger, more confident CHC workforce, better equipped to meet the complex needs of the patients we serve.
