CHC Nurses Agency Network: UK Community & Training for CHC Nurses
Supporting Continuing Healthcare nurses with community, training, and practical guidance
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional community created specifically for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care, and agency nursing roles.
We provide a safe space to connect with other CHC nurses, share real-world experiences, access specialist training, and stay up to date with the latest CHC guidance, best practice and regulatory expectations.
A Dedicated Network for CHC & Agency Nurses
Only another nurse truly understands the emotional pressure, clinical responsibility, and daily stress that come with CHC and agency nursing.
Our closed network brings together over 500 CHC agency nurses from across the UK who support each other, share knowledge, and offer practical advice 24/7 through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
If you work in CHC – whether in assessment, case management, discharge planning, appeals, community placements or as an agency nurse in CHC-funded settings – our network is designed to help you feel less isolated and more supported in your professional role.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional and social hub where CHC nurses can relax, ask questions, and build long-term connections with colleagues who truly understand the reality of Continuing Healthcare work.
Many members build friendships that last for years, staying in touch as they move between roles, organisations and agencies.
We welcome new members to join our private social media groups, attend our events, and contribute to an open, respectful environment that prioritises peer support, clinical integrity, and shared learning.
Professional Development & CHC Training Support
Grow Your CHC Knowledge and Confidence
Alongside community support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network focuses on helping nurses deepen their expertise in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community-based care, and complex case management.
We regularly share resources, signpost to training, and discuss real-life scenarios covering:
- CHC eligibility criteria and national framework
- CHC assessments and Decision Support Tools (DSTs)
- Funded Nursing Care (FNC) and interface with social care
- Care planning and risk management in community settings
- Transitions of care and discharge to assess (D2A) pathways
- Learning Disabilities (LD), mental health, and complex needs
- Documentation standards, evidence gathering, and appeals
Peer-Led Learning on CHC Assessments & Case Management
Our members freely share tips, templates and approaches that really work in practice when managing CHC assessments, reviews and case coordination.
By learning from nurses currently working in CHC, you gain up-to-date, practical insights you can apply immediately in your role.
Support with Compliance, Quality and Best Practice
Discussions within the network often cover CQC expectations, documentation standards, safeguarding, and working safely within agency roles.
While we are not a regulatory body, our experienced members can share how they maintain quality, uphold professional standards and prepare for inspections in CHC-funded environments.
Person-Centred Care & Care Planning in CHC
We place a strong emphasis on person-centred care, especially for individuals with Learning Disabilities, dementia, and long-term complex conditions funded under CHC.
Members regularly exchange ideas on creating meaningful, personalised care plans that promote independence, dignity, choice and wellbeing across different care settings.
Events, Meet-Ups & Online Community
Regular Events to Bring CHC Nurses Together
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events designed to bring our community of nurses together.
These events range from informal meet-ups and Q&A sessions, to topic-focused discussions on Continuing Healthcare policy updates, case law, and practical challenges in the field.
Networking, Peer Support and Safe Discussion Space
Our private events and confidential social media groups give you a safe space to discuss professional issues, share concerns, and seek opinions from colleagues who understand CHC roles.
Members are active 24-7-365 across our invite-only groups, so you can usually find someone who has faced a similar situation and is happy to help.
Building Long-Term Professional Relationships
Many nurses in our network stay connected for years, supporting each other as they move between ICBs, providers, and agencies.
These ongoing relationships can lead to new opportunities, collaborations, and a stronger sense of belonging within the CHC community.
Confidential, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals is managed through secure, invite-only social media groups.
This structure keeps discussions private, fosters trust, and encourages open, honest sharing of experience, advice and professional insight.
