CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
The UK’s Dedicated Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community designed for
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. We bring CHC
professionals together to share knowledge, connect with peers, reduce stress and build
stronger, more rewarding careers in agency nursing.
Only nurses truly understand the pressures of nursing, the emotional impact of complex
CHC cases, and the daily challenges of working across multiple organisations. Our
network gives you a safe, supportive space to relax, connect and grow as a professional.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Membership of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you more than just social connection –
it offers a professional support structure built by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses. From
specialist CHC training and case discussions to peer support and
confidential social media groups, we help you stay informed, confident and connected in
your practice.
- Connect with a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
- Access invite-only, confidential social media groups available 24/7/365.
- Share real-world professional issues, CHC queries and best practice in a safe space.
- Build long-term friendships and professional contacts across the UK.
A Relaxed, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is deliberately relaxed, informal and nurse-led. We know
that agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community settings and
complex care need a place where they can talk openly, ask questions without
judgement and access advice based on real clinical experience.
Many members tell us that the network has helped them feel less isolated, more confident
in CHC work and better equipped to handle the pressures that come with agency nursing in
complex care environments.
A Community Built on Shared CHC Experience
Our membership is made up of nurses with extensive experience in CHC eligibility
assessments, DSTs, appeals, case management, community placements and
multidisciplinary working. This shared expertise means you can get practical, relevant
support that reflects the realities of your day-to-day work.
- Discuss challenging CHC cases with peers who understand the process.
- Share approaches to assessments, reviews and appeals.
- Exchange tips on documentation, evidence gathering and multidisciplinary coordination.
- Support each other through the emotional demands of complex care nursing.
Regular Events, Training & Networking for CHC Nurses
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing
community together. These sessions are designed to be practical, supportive and
interactive – helping you stay up-to-date with evolving CHC policy, best
practice and case law while building strong professional relationships.
CHC-Focused Training & Knowledge-Sharing Sessions
Our events and sessions support your Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
with topics tailored to CHC agency nurses. While we are a community first and foremost,
we recognise that CHC work is complex and ever-changing – so we create space to learn
together in a relaxed, peer-based environment.
Typical Topics Covered in Our CHC Events
- Understanding and applying the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
- Best practice for Decision Support Tool (DST) completion and evidence gathering.
- Working effectively with ICBs, local authorities and multidisciplinary teams.

- Managing workload, boundaries and emotional wellbeing as a CHC agency nurse.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
A key benefit of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is access to our private, invite-only
social media groups, where professional issues are discussed confidentially,
day and night. These groups keep you connected to hundreds of CHC agency nurses who
understand the pressures and responsibilities of your role.
