CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
Connecting, Supporting and Developing CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and related community settings across the UK.
We connect agency nurses, provide CHC-focused training, share best practice, and offer expert support to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care in every placement.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
A Safe Space to Share, Learn and Grow
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a welcoming, confidential space where CHC nurses can relax, connect and discuss the realities of practice with colleagues who truly understand the pressures of the role.
Only another nurse really understands the emotional and practical demands of CHC work, and our network offers a supportive environment to share challenges, solutions and professional experiences 24/7.
Active Community, Lasting Friendships
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together, from peer support sessions and case discussions through to informal meetups and networking opportunities.
Many nurses within our network build strong professional relationships that develop into long-term friendships, often staying connected and supporting each other for years.
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Knowledge and Skills
Our network focuses on the specific needs of Continuing Healthcare nurses, with expert guidance on CHC eligibility, assessments, MDT meetings, care planning, and complex case management.
Members share real-world examples and practical tips that help you handle CHC processes confidently, professionally and in line with current national frameworks and local policies.
Peer-Led Guidance on Compliance and Best Practice
Through our invite-only groups, CHC nurses exchange advice on documentation, report writing, safeguarding, clinical governance and working effectively with CCG/ICB, local authority and provider teams.
This continuous peer support helps you stay aligned with professional standards, improve clinical decision-making and feel more confident in complex Continuing Healthcare scenarios.
Private Social Media Groups and 24/7 Support
Confidential, Invite-Only CHC Nurse Communities
We manage a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, connected via confidential, invite-only social media groups where members can openly discuss clinical and professional issues.
These groups offer round-the-clock access to advice, solidarity and reassurance from colleagues who share the same specialist field and fully understand the pressures of CHC nursing.
Instant Access to Collective CHC Expertise
Whether you are unsure about a CHC checklist, a DST recommendation, a complex discharge, or documentation for a funding review, you can reach out to the network and receive practical input from experienced CHC nurses.
This immediate access to shared knowledge helps reduce stress, speeds up problem-solving and supports safer, more consistent care for the people you look after.
Professional Development, Events and Training
Regular CHC-Focused Events and Learning Sessions
CHC Nurses Agency Network organises regular workshops, webinars and discussion groups covering key topics such as CHC assessments, complex care in the community, report writing, risk management and legal aspects of Continuing Healthcare.
Our events are designed to be practical, interactive and directly relevant to your daily work, helping you stay up to date with changes in CHC policy, guidance and best practice.
Enhance Your CHC Career Through Networking
By attending our events and engaging in our online spaces, CHC agency nurses develop new skills, broaden professional networks and access opportunities that can support career progression into senior, specialist or leadership roles in Continuing Healthcare.
Collaboration within the network strengthens your professional profile, builds confidence and helps you position yourself as a knowledgeable, reliable CHC practitioner.
Supporting Quality, Safety and Person-Centred CHC Care
Complex Care and Community Transitions
Many CHC nurses work with patients who have highly complex needs and challenging transitions between hospital, community, nursing homes and home-based care.
Our community shares best practice on safe discharge planning, continuity of care, multidisciplinary communication and family engagement to improve outcomes for people receiving CHC-funded care.
Learning Disabilities, Mental Health and Long-Term Conditions
Members of our network include CHC nurses specialising in learning disabilities, mental health, palliative care and long-term conditions, who offer insights into person-centred, rights-based care planning and risk management.
This breadth of expertise helps you deliver more holistic, dignified and compliant care for individuals with complex and enduring health needs across community settings.
