CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Dedicated Network for Continuing Healthcare Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care agency roles.
We bring CHC nurses together to share expertise, build professional connections, and make working life easier in a demanding clinical environment.
Through our confidential online network and regular events, we support agency nurses to grow their knowledge, resilience, and career opportunities in CHC.
Why CHC Agency Nurses Need a Strong Professional Network
Agency and bank nurses in Continuing Healthcare often work independently across different organisations, care settings, and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional load that come with CHC case management, assessments, and complex care packages.
Our network exists to provide that understanding, a safe space to talk, and practical support with day-to-day professional challenges.
What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just a social group – it is a professional hub for CHC nurses looking to upskill, connect and stay updated.
We support nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, complex community care, learning disabilities, hospital discharge and case management, whether in agency, bank or independent roles.
Our focus is on peer support, knowledge-sharing, CHC training, and real-world guidance to help you thrive in your role.
A Relaxed but Professional Space for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a relaxed and friendly environment where you can speak openly with colleagues who truly understand your work.
You can talk about complex cases, CHC eligibility challenges, funding issues, or simply share the ups and downs of everyday nursing life without judgement.
Many of our members say the network has become their go-to place for support, advice, and stress relief during busy shifts and difficult cases.
Confidential, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
We run a series of confidential, invite-only social media groups for our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
These private groups are active 24/7/365, allowing members to post questions, share resources, discuss professional issues and support one another at any time.
All discussions are moderated and kept strictly professional, creating a safe space for honest conversation about CHC nursing practice, regulations and real-world challenges.
Events, Meet-Ups and Continuing Professional Development
Alongside our online network, we run regular events and meet-ups to bring CHC agency nurses together in person and online.
These events are designed to support Continuing Professional Development (CPD), share current best practice, and make it easier to navigate the complexities of CHC work.
Most nurses in our network keep in touch long after events have finished, forming lasting professional relationships and friendships.
Regular CHC-Focused Events and Workshops
Our events cover key topics such as NHS Continuing Healthcare assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), care planning, case management, hospital discharge, and complex care coordination.
Sessions may include interactive workshops, webinars, Q&A panels and informal networking to help agency nurses stay updated and confident in practice.
By attending, you gain practical tools, templates and strategies that can be used immediately in your everyday CHC roles.
Networking, Mentoring and Peer Support
Our network connects practitioners working in CHC, community nursing, learning disabilities, acute care, and case management across the UK.
Many members naturally move into peer mentoring relationships, supporting each other with career moves, clinical dilemmas and work–life balance.
Nurses often stay connected for years, turning professional contacts into long-term friendships and trusted support systems.
Practical Support for CHC Nurses in Daily Practice
We know that CHC nursing roles can involve complex eligibility decisions, difficult conversations with families, multi-agency working and high levels of accountability.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you feel less isolated by giving you immediate access to a community of nurses who understand the realities of this work.
Members share experiences around CHC checklists, appeals, fast-track funding, safeguarding issues, and managing risk in the community.
Sharing Best Practice in Continuing Healthcare
Within our groups, members regularly share guidelines, policy updates, examples of documentation, and learning from CQC and ICB expectations.
You can ask questions about CHC frameworks, clinical rationales, decision-making, and approaches to complex assessments in a supportive, non-judgemental space.
This collective knowledge helps you to deliver safe, person-centred and evidence-based care while remaining aligned with current standards.
Support with Stress, Burnout and Work–Life Balance
CHC and complex care nursing can be emotionally demanding, with high caseloads and frequent exposure to distressing situations.
Our network is somewhere you can talk openly about stress, burnout, boundaries, and emotional resilience, surrounded by people who truly relate.
By sharing coping strategies, practical tips and encouragement, we help nurses protect their wellbeing and stay in the profession they care about.

Whether you are new to CHC agency work or an experienced nurse specialist, our network adapts to your career stage and professional goals.
We support nurses exploring new agency roles, leadership positions, independent practice, and specialised CHC career pathways.
From your first CHC assignment to advanced practice and beyond, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to walk alongside you.
