CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Expert CHC Support
Connecting CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK for Support, Learning & Career Growth
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide community designed specifically for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency roles. We bring together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals to share knowledge, navigate complex cases, and build lasting peer support.
By combining specialist CHC training, collaborative learning, and confidential online communities, we make agency nursing in CHC easier to manage, more rewarding, and better aligned with best practice and current UK regulations.
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Connect, Share and Unwind
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a professional group – it is a place where only nurses who truly understand the pressures of CHC work can connect, relax, and speak openly about daily challenges.
Our members use our network to discuss real-world problems, seek advice from peers, and access practical solutions to complex clinical, legal and professional issues in Continuing Healthcare.
Private, Confidential Social Media Groups
We run several invite-only, confidential social media groups where CHC agency nurses can ask questions, share resources and stay connected 24/7/365.
With around 500 active CHC agency nursing professionals in our core network, you are never alone when dealing with difficult cases, CHC assessments, care planning concerns or work-related stress.
Specialist Support in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Guidance on CHC Assessments, Funding and Appeals
Our community has deep experience in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), checklists, funding decisions and appeals.
Members openly share strategies, templates and insights to help each other deliver safe, person-centred care while working within CHC frameworks, local policies and Integrated Care Board (ICB) processes.
Support with Community DoLS and Legal Compliance
We regularly discuss community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) applications, mental capacity assessments and legal documentation, helping CHC agency nurses stay compliant and confident in their decision-making.
By learning from colleagues who have managed complex CHC and DoLS cases across different regions, members strengthen their practice and reduce professional isolation.
Events, Workshops and Networking for Agency Nurses
Regular Meet-Ups, Webinars and Online Events
We organise regular events – including online meet-ups, peer discussion sessions and occasional in-person gatherings – to bring our CHC agency nursing community together.
These events focus on CHC updates, care standards, case law, documentation, risk management and career development, as well as providing a safe space to talk about stress, burnout and workload.
Building Long-Term Professional and Personal Connections
Many nurses who join the CHC Nurses Agency Network form long-lasting friendships and professional partnerships that continue for years.
Members frequently collaborate across agencies, share job opportunities, mentor one another and offer emotional support during challenging periods in their careers.
Professional Development and Learning Opportunities
Peer-Led Learning in CHC and Complex Care
Through our groups and events, members regularly share best practice in CHC, complex care planning, person-centred approaches, risk assessments and documentation.
This peer-led learning model helps agency nurses keep up to date with national guidance, local CHC processes and regulatory expectations without the barriers often faced in temporary roles.
Making Agency Nursing Easier and More Rewarding
Working as an agency nurse in CHC can feel isolating, but our network provides ongoing support, answers to everyday questions and access to collective experience built up over many years.
By being part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network, members feel more confident, better informed and more in control of their professional journey.
