CHC Nurses Agency Network: Leading the Way in CHC Nursing Support, Training and Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Specialist Support, Events and Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. We exist to connect, support and develop nurses working in CHC, helping you build your career, stay compliant, share knowledge and feel part of a trusted, like-minded network.
As working nurses ourselves, we know that only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional demands that come with the role. That is why the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, confidential space to connect, learn, and grow — both professionally and personally.
Whether you are new to CHC, an experienced CHC nurse assessor, or an agency nurse exploring CHC opportunities, our network gives you access to ongoing support, regular events and a strong community that understands your world.
What Makes the CHC Nurses Agency Network Unique?
A Specialist Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Unlike generic nursing platforms, our focus is on CHC agency nursing and Continuing Healthcare practice. Our private network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals share real-world experience on assessments, MDTs, funding decisions, commissioning, dispute resolution and day‑to‑day CHC work.
A Safe Place to Connect, Share and Relax
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed as a supportive, non-judgemental space where you can offload, ask questions, discuss complex cases (confidentially), and talk about the realities of agency work in CHC. Many colleagues in our network become friends and remain connected for years.
Confidential, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
Our core activity takes place in private, invite‑only social media groups, available 24–7–365. We openly share professional issues, practical tips, opportunities and guidance in a confidential environment, so you can ask for support whenever you need it.
How the CHC Nurses Agency Network Supports Your Professional Development
Peer Learning and Knowledge Sharing
Through our online groups and discussions, members exchange insights on CHC assessments, eligibility criteria, decision support tools (DSTs), panel preparation, and best practice in documentation. This peer-led learning helps you stay current, confident and compliant in your CHC work.
Guidance on CHC Practice and Compliance
We regularly discuss updates around CHC National Framework guidance, local ICB processes, legal considerations and documentation standards, supporting you to maintain high clinical standards and robust, defensible CHC practice.
Support for Agency Nursing Life
Members share practical advice on managing agency shifts, working across multiple organisations, handling travel, maintaining work–life balance, and staying resilient in a demanding CHC environment.
Events and Networking for CHC Nurses
Regular Online and In-Person Meet-Ups
We run regular events to bring our CHC community together, including online meet‑ups, informal Q&A sessions, themed discussions and occasional in‑person gatherings. These events are ideal for networking, learning and building long-term professional relationships.
Informal, Supportive Atmosphere
Our events are deliberately relaxed and friendly, giving you space to talk openly about your work, share challenges, celebrate successes and feel part of a community that truly understands what you do.
Ongoing Connections Beyond Events
Most nurses in our network maintain contact between events through our social media groups and direct connections. Many members go on to collaborate professionally, share opportunities and support each other’s career progression.
