CHC Nurses Agency Network – Community & Professional Support for CHC Nurses
A Supportive UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. We bring together nurses working in CHC, community care, and complex care settings to share knowledge, reduce isolation, and build meaningful professional connections.
Our network is built by nurses, for nurses. We understand the pressures of agency work, the complexity of CHC assessments and funding, and the emotional demands of delivering high-quality, person-centred care. Through our private online groups, regular events, and specialist resources, we help nurses feel supported, confident, and better equipped in their roles.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an informal but highly engaged community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who stay connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups and in-person or virtual events.
Members use the network to ask questions, share experiences, discuss complex CHC cases, and access practical support 24/7/365. Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, you will find peers who understand your work and are happy to share their expertise.

Our Core Community Services
Private Social Media Groups & Online Community
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are our private, invite-only social media groups, where CHC agency nurses connect, ask advice, and share updates in a safe and supportive environment.
These confidential groups are active around the clock, allowing members to raise professional issues, discuss Continuing Healthcare (CHC) processes, and seek peer support whenever they need it. Many nurses use the network as a space to debrief, reduce stress, and feel heard by colleagues who truly understand their work.
Regular CHC Events, Meetups & Networking
We organise regular events to bring our community together, including informal meetups, online sessions, and CHC-focused networking events. These gatherings help nurses to connect face-to-face or virtually, build lasting friendships, and strengthen their professional network.
Our events often include opportunities to discuss CHC assessments, CHC funding pathways, care planning, and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes, helping members stay informed of current practice and policy changes in Continuing Healthcare.
Peer Learning & Shared CHC Expertise
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, peer learning is a core value. Members openly share best practice, sample documentation approaches, and practical tips for managing real-world CHC challenges.
Common topics include CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), multidisciplinary team working, care transitions, community DoL applications, and complex case management. This shared knowledge helps agency nurses feel more confident, competent, and supported in their professional practice.
Professional Support for CHC Agency Nurses
We know that agency nursing in Continuing Healthcare can sometimes feel isolating. Through our network, nurses can discuss work-related stress, boundaries, workload, and ethical issues with colleagues who genuinely understand the pressures of CHC.
This informal yet professional support system helps improve wellbeing, resilience, and job satisfaction. Many of our members report feeling less alone in their roles and more empowered to advocate for high-quality, person-centred care.
Career Development & CHC Knowledge Growth
Being part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network can support your professional growth. Through conversations, signposting, and shared opportunities, nurses learn about new CHC contracts, specialist roles, training options, and leadership pathways.
Our community encourages reflective practice, continuous learning, and the development of advanced knowledge in CHC, helping you build your profile as an expert CHC agency nurse in the UK.
