CHC Nurses Agency Network: Supporting Continuing Healthcare Nurses Across the UK
A Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Welcome to the CHC Nurses Agency Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community created by and for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and related agency roles.
Our mission is to connect CHC nurses, strengthen professional support, and share expert knowledge so that agency nurses can thrive in their roles while delivering safe, effective and person-centred care.
Through our confidential online groups, regular events and shared resources, we offer a relaxed but professional space where nurses can talk openly, learn from one another and build long-term connections.
What is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an active community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who network, collaborate and support each other every day.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional load and complexity of modern nursing, particularly within Continuing Healthcare and complex care settings.
We provide a safe, confidential space for CHC nurses to discuss real issues, share experience and knowledge, and access peer support 24/7/365 via invite-only social media groups.
Our Core Benefits for CHC Agency Nurses
Relaxed, Supportive Nursing Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, be yourself and talk openly with fellow nurses who truly understand your working world.
Members regularly discuss day-to-day challenges in CHC nursing, from heavy caseloads to complex assessments and difficult multi-disciplinary team discussions.
Many of our nurses form strong friendships that last for years, creating a trusted support system outside of work.
Professional Networking & Career Development
We actively help agency nurses build professional contacts across CHC teams, commissioning bodies, providers and other specialist services.
Networking within our community can lead to new opportunities, mentoring relationships, and support when exploring new roles or agencies within the Continuing Healthcare field.
Our members openly share advice about contracts, rates, working conditions, and professional progression specific to CHC nursing.
Shared CHC Nursing Knowledge & Best Practice
Through our private groups, experienced CHC nurses share practical tips on CHC assessments, Decision Support Tools (DST), reviews, appeals, and complex case discussions.
Members talk about real-life Continuing Healthcare scenarios, documentation expectations and approaches that work in practice, helping newer CHC nurses build confidence faster.
We promote evidence-based practice, person-centred care and robust clinical documentation to support safe, high-quality CHC decision-making.
Regular Events, Meetups and Online Sessions
We run regular events to bring our community of CHC nurses together, both online and, where possible, face-to-face.
Events may include informal meetups, peer-learning sessions, topic-based discussions, Q&A sessions with experienced CHC nurses and opportunities to network with colleagues from across the UK.
These events are designed to be friendly, accessible and focused on real issues that matter to Continuing Healthcare agency nurses.
Confidential 24/7 Peer Support
Our invite-only social media groups are confidential spaces where CHC nurses can talk through professional issues at any time of day or night.
Whether you are working nights, covering a complex CHC review, or dealing with a difficult situation, you can reach out for peer support from colleagues who understand your context.
We encourage respectful, non-judgemental discussion and always remind members to protect patient confidentiality and follow professional standards.
Support for New and Experienced CHC Nurses
Our network includes both highly experienced CHC practitioners and nurses who are new to Continuing Healthcare and agency work.
New CHC nurses can learn quickly from the experience of others, while more experienced colleagues benefit from fresh perspectives and sharing their expertise.
No matter where you are in your CHC nursing career, you will find peers at a similar stage and those who can help you take your next professional step.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Built Exclusively for CHC Agency Nurses
Our community is focused specifically on agency nurses working in or around NHS Continuing Healthcare, so every discussion is relevant to your practice.
Members understand the pressures of agency work, variable placements, and the complexity of CHC assessments and case management.
Strong, Long-Term Professional Relationships
Many CHC nurses in our network keep in touch regularly, collaborate on opportunities and remain friends for many years.
This community can follow you throughout your career, whatever agency you work for or which region you move to.
Safe Space to Talk About Real Issues
We provide a professional but relaxed environment where you can discuss the realities of CHC nursing without having to explain the basics.
From workload pressures and system changes to ethical dilemmas and self-care, nothing is “too small” or “too specific” to raise.

Members often share resources, templates, links and signposts that can save you time and help you feel less isolated in your role.
