CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Community for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community created specifically to support Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and complex care professionals across the UK.
We bring together experienced CHC nurses, new agency nurses and healthcare professionals working in CHC, community DOLs, learning disability services and complex case management to share knowledge, best practice and real-world support.
Our goal is to make agency nursing in CHC easier, safer and more rewarding by offering peer networking, specialist training, consultancy support and 24/7 community access.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a mailing list or a casual Facebook group – it is a structured, invite-only professional network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who collaborate, share expertise and support one another every day.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the demands, responsibility and emotional impact of our work. Our community provides a safe, confidential place where CHC nurses can ask questions, discuss complex cases and talk openly about professional challenges.
Many of our members form long-term friendships, collaborate on projects and stay connected for years, turning the network into a powerful resource for both professional development and personal wellbeing.
Key Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
Relax, Connect and Share with CHC Nursing Peers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed to be a place where nurses can relax, decompress and talk honestly with colleagues who understand the reality of CHC work.
Our confidential, invite-only social media groups run 24/7/365, allowing you to connect at any time of day, whether you need advice on a case, a second opinion or simply someone who understands what you are going through.
Expand Your Professional Network and Career Opportunities
By joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain access to hundreds of CHC agency nurses, case managers and specialist clinicians across different regions and clinical environments.
Members often share professional opportunities, CHC roles, best practice documents, clinical tools and tips to help each other build sustainable, flexible and rewarding agency careers.
Continuous Peer Support – 24/7/365
Professional issues in CHC and complex care do not stop at 5pm, and neither does our network. We openly share clinical questions, CHC assessment queries, DOL challenges and documentation issues through our secure channels at all hours.
This means you are never alone when dealing with a complex situation – there is always a colleague within the network who has been there before and can offer insight or reassurance.
Events, Training and Professional Development for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular Networking Events for CHC Nurses
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC and agency nurses together, giving you the chance to meet colleagues, share experiences and build collaborative relationships.
These events cover practical topics such as CHC assessments, documentation, safeguarding, MDT working, community DOLs and learning disability care, as well as wellbeing, resilience and work–life balance for agency nurses.
Specialist Training in CHC, DOL and Complex Care
Through our expert partners and experienced network members, we promote and signpost to specialist training programmes designed to strengthen your knowledge and confidence in:
- Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility, assessments and reviews
- Care planning and documentation for complex community packages
- Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) processes and applications

Support for CHC Practice, Case Management and Compliance
Navigating CHC Processes and Community DOLs
Our network is a trusted space to discuss the complexities of CHC processes, funding eligibility, checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and community DOL applications.
Members frequently share templates, checklists, examples and practical tips that help you work safely, efficiently and in line with current guidance and legal frameworks.
Best Practice in Learning Disability and Complex Care
Many of our members specialise in learning disability, autism and complex physical health needs, particularly in community and home-based packages of care.
Within the network, nurses share person-centred strategies, communication tools, care planning approaches and behaviour support ideas that promote dignity, independence and quality of life.
Peer-Led Support with Documentation and Quality Standards
Agency nurses often work across different providers, each with their own policies and expectations, which can make documentation, audits and quality standards challenging.
Our community helps you stay aligned with current clinical expectations, regulatory requirements and best practice standards, so you can consistently deliver safe, high-quality care wherever you work.
A Welcoming Community for New and Experienced CHC Agency Nurses
Support for New Agency Nurses Entering CHC
If you are new to agency nursing or newly transitioning into CHC and complex care, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a supportive environment to learn, ask questions and grow without judgement.
Experienced members are generous with their time and knowledge, helping you navigate first shifts, documentation expectations, MDT meetings and complex home care packages.
A Long-Term Professional Community
Many nurses join the CHC Nurses Agency Network and remain members for years, as they move between roles, contracts and locations.
Our network acts as a stable, consistent professional home, giving you somewhere to return to for guidance, connection and inspiration throughout your career.

Invite-Only Groups for Trusted Professional Discussion
We host several private, invite-only social media groups for CHC agency nurses, structured to keep discussions secure, respectful and professionally focused.
