CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Support, Training and Nurse Community
A Dedicated UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and complex care settings. We bring together experienced CHC nurses, provide practical training, and offer a safe, supportive space to share challenges and expertise.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network recognises the pressures of CHC and agency nursing, and gives you the professional support, knowledge and peer connections you need to thrive in your role while delivering high-quality, person-centred care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an invitation-only community of around 500 Continuing Healthcare and agency nursing professionals across the UK who work in hospitals, community services, care homes and independent practice.
Our network offers a confidential, relaxed environment where CHC nurses can ask questions, share real-life experiences, and get support from others who understand the realities of complex assessments, fast-track funding, case management and CQC-regulated care.
Join a Supportive Community of CHC Agency Nurses
Relax, Connect and Share with Nurses Who Understand
Only another nurse truly understands the emotional and physical demands of CHC and agency nursing, which is why our network prioritises mutual support, confidentiality and respect.
Members use our private social media groups and online spaces to talk openly about professional issues 24/7/365, ask for advice, and exchange insights on complex CHC, safeguarding and case management scenarios.
Build Lasting Professional and Personal Connections
Many of our members stay in touch for years, building not only strong professional networks but genuine friendships with other CHC nurses across the country.
We welcome new members into our closed invite-only groups, where you can engage at your own pace, access shared resources, and become part of a trusted community of specialist CHC nurses.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training and Professional Development
Specialist CHC Training for Agency and Community Nurses
We support our network with practical CHC training designed specifically for nurses working in agency, community, care home and complex care environments.
Our sessions cover key areas such as CHC eligibility, the National Framework, DST completion, fast-track pathways, funding processes and effective documentation, helping you to build confidence in every stage of the CHC process.
Stay Updated on Policy, Best Practice and CHC Regulations
CHC practice and NHS guidance evolve over time, so we keep our members informed about policy changes, updated guidance, appeals processes and case law that impact everyday CHC decision-making and nurse-led assessments.
Through our events, webinars and discussions, you can strengthen your understanding of CHC frameworks and maintain high standards of clinical and legal compliance in your practice.
Events, Meet-Ups and Networking for CHC Nurses
Regular Events to Bring CHC Nurses Together
We run regular online and in-person events for CHC agency nurses to connect, share learning and build their professional profile in a relaxed, informal setting.
Events often include case study discussions, Q&A sessions, guest speakers, and opportunities to network with other nurses, care managers and healthcare professionals who work in Continuing Healthcare and complex care services.
Professional Development That Fits Around Shift Work
Understanding the realities of shift patterns, agency work and on-call commitments, we design our activities to be flexible and accessible for busy nurses, with recordings, resources and discussion threads available on demand.
By engaging with the network, you can grow your CHC expertise, improve your CV and open up new opportunities in CHC and complex care roles across the UK.
Support with CHC Assessments, Complex Cases and Care Planning
Peer Support for Complex CHC Decision-Making
Through our confidential groups, members can discuss real-world CHC challenges including eligibility disputes, appeals, complex symptom management, risk, safeguarding and multi-agency working.
While we do not replace formal legal or clinical supervision, our network offers a valuable peer sounding board for nurses navigating difficult CHC cases and ethical dilemmas in practice.
Sharing Best Practice in Person-Centred and LD Care
Many CHC nurses support people with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, mental health needs and complex physical health conditions, requiring highly personalised, multi-domain care planning.
Members regularly exchange templates, examples and practical tips around person-centred support plans, risk assessments, MDT communication and evidence gathering to ensure robust CHC recommendations and safe care transitions.
