CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Hub for CHC Agency Nursing, Training & Support
A Professional Community Designed by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and resource hub for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency nursing roles across the UK. We exist to connect CHC agency nurses, support their practice, and provide a safe space to share experiences, knowledge, and opportunities.
Built on the belief that only another nurse truly understands nursing, our network helps you manage the daily pressures of CHC and agency work, develop professionally, and feel less isolated. From training and peer support to confidential discussion spaces and events, we bring CHC agency nurses together so you can learn, relax, and grow in your career.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals connected through invite-only, confidential social media groups and regular online and in-person events.
We provide a supportive, non-judgemental environment where CHC nurses can discuss practice issues, share advice, ask questions, and access training and resources related to Continuing Healthcare, case management, CQC expectations, and complex community care.
Many nurses in our network become long-term friends and professional allies, staying connected for years, supporting each other through career changes, complex cases, and the realities of frontline CHC practice.
Our Core Services and Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Relaxed, Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses
Connect with People Who Understand Your Work
Agency nursing in CHC can be demanding and isolating; our network gives you a place to switch off, debrief, and talk openly with nurses who truly understand the pressures of your role.
Through our private groups and events, you can share challenges, celebrate wins, seek guidance on difficult situations, or simply chat with colleagues who “get it” without fear of judgement.
Professional Networking & Career Development
Build Strong Professional Contacts in CHC Nursing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you grow your professional profile by connecting you with other CHC nurses, clinical experts, and experienced agency professionals.
Members share job leads, clinical insights, documentation tips, and interview experiences, helping you make informed decisions about agencies, placements, and career progression in CHC and community nursing.
Regular Events for Learning, Support & Connection
Workshops, Meet-Ups and Online Sessions for CHC Nurses
We run regular events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together, including online Q&A sessions, peer-support circles, informal meet-ups, and topic-focused webinars.
These events cover areas such as CHC assessments, community placements, documentation, safeguarding, Deprivation of Liberty (DoL), and CQC expectations, while also giving you the chance to relax and connect socially with colleagues.
Confidential Private Social Media Groups (24/7 Support)
Invite-Only Groups for Honest, Safe Discussion
Our core network of CHC agency nurses stays connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups that operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Within these groups, members openly share professional issues, discuss CHC cases in a general, anonymised way, ask for advice on forms and processes, and support each other through challenging shifts and placements.
