CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Support & Training for UK Agency Nurses
Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
Welcome to the CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency nursing roles across the UK. We bring together experienced CHC practitioners, new agency nurses, and independent contractors in a supportive environment designed to make professional life easier, more connected, and more fulfilling.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network provides a safe space to share experiences, access peer support, strengthen CHC knowledge, and build long-term professional relationships.
Our Purpose and Community Values
Our mission is to support CHC agency nurses with a strong professional network that understands the realities of the role: demanding caseloads, complex assessments, and the emotional pressures of working in Continuing Healthcare.
We value confidentiality, respect, collaboration, and continuous learning, ensuring that every member feels heard, supported, and empowered to grow in their nursing career.
What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
A Supportive Peer Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Community That Understands CHC Nursing
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the workload, responsibility, and daily stress that come with nursing, especially in Continuing Healthcare. Within our network, you can speak openly with colleagues who understand complex CHC assessments, multidisciplinary working, and the pressures of agency contracts.
Confidential, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups for CHC agency nurses, where around 500 active members share professional issues, ask questions, seek advice, and support one another 24/7, 365 days a year.
Building Lifelong Professional Friendships
Many nurses who join the CHC Nurses Agency Network go on to build strong friendships that last for years. Our members stay connected across agencies and regions, creating a genuine sense of belonging within the CHC nursing community.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups and Learning Opportunities
In-Person and Online Networking Events
We run regular events—both online and face-to-face—to bring our community together. These sessions provide opportunities to network, share best practice, discuss challenges, and stay updated on changes in CHC guidance and policy.
Informal Learning and Peer-Led Discussions
Our events are designed to be relaxed but valuable, often focusing on real-world issues like working with CCG/ICB teams, navigating agency contracts, managing workloads, and delivering safe person-centred care in complex CHC cases.
Professional Development and CHC Knowledge Sharing
Support for CHC Skills and Career Growth
While we are first and foremost a network and community, we also help members deepen their understanding of Continuing Healthcare eligibility, assessments, reviews and care planning through shared resources, discussions and informal mentoring.
Real-World Advice from Experienced CHC Nurses
Many of our members have extensive experience in CHC, case management, complex care packages and multidisciplinary working, so newer agency nurses can benefit from authentic guidance on how to progress and thrive in CHC nursing roles.
Who Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network For?
Nurses Working in Continuing Healthcare
Our network is ideal for Registered Nurses (RNs) working in NHS Continuing Healthcare roles, CHC assessment teams, independent assessment, brokerage, case management, or community-based CHC services.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, the network gives you access to colleagues who work in similar roles and understand the nuances of CHC frameworks and decision-making.
Agency and Bank Nurses
If you work as an agency nurse, bank nurse, or contractor in CHC or complex care environments, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers vital support and connection that can be hard to find when working across multiple sites or organisations.
Our community helps you feel less isolated, gives you a place to ask questions, and keeps you up-to-date with changes affecting CHC agency work across the UK.
Nurses Considering a Move into CHC or Agency Work
We also welcome nurses who are exploring a move into Continuing Healthcare or agency roles and want to better understand what to expect. Through our network, you can hear directly from nurses already working in CHC and get realistic insight into the benefits and challenges of this career path.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Safe Space to Talk About Real Issues
Our private groups give you a safe, non-judgemental place to discuss workload, difficult cases, ethical dilemmas, agency pressures and work–life balance with colleagues who truly understand CHC nursing.
Members regularly share tips, policies, templates and practical solutions to common challenges in Continuing Healthcare practice.
Year-Round Support – 24/7, 365 Days a Year
Because our community is active across multiple platforms and time zones, you can reach out for support at any time. Whether you need a quick answer to a CHC-related question or just want to debrief after a difficult day, someone in the network is usually available.
Stronger Professional Identity and Confidence
Being part of a dedicated CHC agency nurse network helps strengthen your professional identity, making you feel part of a recognised specialist community with a shared voice and shared expertise.
