CHC Nurses Agency Network: Connecting & Empowering Continuing Healthcare Nurses
Welcome to the CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care agency roles. We bring together experienced CHC professionals to share knowledge, support each other, and develop careers in a safe, friendly and confidential space.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional load that comes with front-line care. Our network offers a place to relax, discuss professional issues, and access practical advice from colleagues who work in the same CHC environment every day.
With an active core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connected through private, invite-only social media groups, the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you build strong peer relationships, grow your expertise, and navigate the challenges of Continuing Healthcare with confidence.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional network for agency nurses specialising in Continuing Healthcare, complex care and adult social care. Our focus is on connecting CHC nurses, sharing best practice, and providing opportunities for learning, collaboration and professional growth.
We understand that agency nursing in CHC can sometimes feel isolating. Our network bridges that gap by offering ongoing peer support, regular online interaction and access to events designed around the real issues that CHC nurses face in practice.
Members of our network regularly keep in touch with each other, and many develop friendships that last for years, providing both professional and personal support throughout their careers in CHC.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Relax, Connect and Share with Fellow CHC Nurses
A Safe Space for Professional Conversation
Our private groups give CHC agency nurses a place to talk openly about clinical challenges, workload issues, documentation, funding decisions, and everyday pressures in Continuing Healthcare. Conversations are respectful, supportive and focused on practical problem-solving.
We encourage nurses to share experiences, ask questions and seek second opinions from colleagues who understand the complexity of CHC assessments, fast-track pathways, care co-ordination and multi-disciplinary working.
24/7/365 Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year through confidential, invite-only social media groups. Whether you are on a night shift, completing CHC paperwork or reflecting after a difficult day, there is always someone online who understands.
Our continuous communication means you are never working alone – you have access to an experienced CHC community whenever you need support, reassurance or a quick sense-check from peers.
Building Lasting Professional Relationships
Networking that Feels Natural
We regularly see nurses in our network progress into new roles, secure better contracts and access new opportunities through the professional relationships they build with colleagues. Networking happens naturally as members interact, help each other and share trusted referrals.
Over time, many CHC nurses in our community become long-term contacts and friends, staying in touch throughout different roles, employers and locations, while continuing to share knowledge and support.
Welcoming New Members
We warmly welcome new CHC agency nurses into our network and help them settle in quickly. Once you join, you will be invited into our private social media groups and introduced to other CHC professionals with similar clinical interests and experience.
Whether you are experienced in Continuing Healthcare or new to CHC agency work, you will find colleagues ready to share guidance, resources and encouragement to help you grow in confidence and competence.
CHC Training, Knowledge-Sharing & Professional Development
Specialist Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Develop Your CHC Skills and Confidence
Our community is centred around Continuing Healthcare practice, including CHC assessments, Decision Support Tools (DST), fast-track funding, appeals, care planning and case management. Members regularly share tips, resources and real-world examples that support day-to-day CHC work.
By engaging in discussions, asking questions and joining events, you can deepen your understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, documentation standards and best practice in person-centred assessment and review.
Peer-Led Learning and Resource Sharing
Within our private groups, members openly share CHC templates, guidance, policy updates, assessment hints and documentation examples (always anonymised and compliant with confidentiality). This peer-led learning helps you streamline your practice and stay aligned with current expectations.
Our collaborative culture means you benefit from the combined experience of hundreds of CHC nurses who have worked across different ICBs, local authorities, providers and care settings.

Regular Events to Bring Our CHC Community Together
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs and participates in a range of CHC-focused events, both online and in-person, designed to support agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Events may include informal meet-ups, Q&A sessions, topic-based discussions, webinars and opportunities to hear from experienced CHC practitioners about real-case learning and evolving best practice.
Stay Up to Date with CHC Changes
Through our events and ongoing discussions, members keep up to date with policy changes, national CHC frameworks, local processes and documentation updates that impact agency nurses working in CHC.
By staying informed, you are better equipped to meet expectations of commissioners, providers and regulators, while advocating effectively for the individuals and families you support.
