CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Community for UK CHC Agency Nurses
A dedicated UK network supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses with community, training and professional development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based community created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses. We bring together experienced Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and professionals working in complex care, community care, and CHC-funded packages across the UK.
Our private network provides a safe space to connect, share challenges, access practical CHC resources and keep up to date with best practice, while supporting your professional growth and wellbeing as an agency nurse.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a relaxed, supportive and confidential community where CHC agency nurses can discuss everyday professional issues, complex CHC cases and the realities of working in Continuing Healthcare.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the intensity, emotional impact and daily stress involved in delivering safe, person-centred care in CHC settings. Our network exists to make that journey easier, more informed and less isolating.
- Around 500 Continuing Healthcare agency nurses in our core network
- 24/7 peer-to-peer support via invite-only social media groups
- Regular online and in-person events focused on CHC and complex care
- A growing hub for CHC knowledge, networking and collaboration
Community Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe, Confidential Space to Connect
Our network offers multiple private social media groups where CHC agency nurses can openly share experiences, ask questions and seek support without fear of judgement.
Discussions range from shift-related challenges and care planning questions to agency issues, CHC assessments and practical advice on documentation and safeguarding.
Building Lasting Professional and Personal Relationships
Many nurses within our CHC network become long-term colleagues and friends.
Through regular interaction, shared experiences and mutual support, members form strong professional relationships that often continue across placements, agencies and career moves.
24/7 Peer Support for Real-World CHC Issues
Our members share real-time professional issues 24-7-365, including:
- Managing complex care packages and CHC-funded caseloads
- Dealing with challenging behaviour, LD, autism and mental health in the community
- Best practice for documentation, risk assessments and escalation
- Working effectively with commissioners, multidisciplinary teams and families
This continuous peer support helps CHC agency nurses feel less isolated, especially when working alone in community settings or on night shifts.
Events, Networking and CPD for CHC Nurses
Regular CHC-Focused Events and Meet-Ups
We organise regular events to bring our network of CHC agency nurses together, both online and face-to-face where possible.
These sessions may include informal meet-ups, topic-based discussions, Q&A sessions, and networking events focused on Continuing Healthcare and complex needs.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and Learning Opportunities
While we are first and foremost a community, our network naturally supports ongoing professional development through:
- Shared CHC case studies and reflective discussions
- Peer advice on assessment, care planning and clinical decision-making
- Signposting to CHC-related training, guidance and resources
- Keeping up to date with changes in CHC policy and practice across the UK
By engaging with the network, many members find their confidence, knowledge and career prospects in CHC significantly improve over time.

Our core membership is made up of agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare or similar complex care roles across the UK, including:
