CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for Agency Nurses
Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated, private community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency nurses across the UK. We connect like‑minded nursing professionals, provide specialist CHC training, and offer a safe space to share experiences, ask questions, and support each other 24/7.
Only a nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility, and emotional demands of nursing. Our network is designed to make your professional life easier by giving you access to peers who “get it”, alongside practical guidance to help you progress and thrive in your agency nursing career.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing, invitation‑only hub of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who interact daily through confidential social media groups and regular events. It is a space to relax, de‑stress, discuss professional issues, and build lasting friendships with fellow nurses who work within CHC and agency settings.
Members join our private social media groups, attend exclusive CHC‑focused events, and gain access to shared knowledge and real‑world insights that you will not find in textbooks or standard training programmes.

Our Core Activities & Support for CHC & Agency Nurses
Private CHC Agency Nurses Community
A Safe, Confidential Space for Real Conversations
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are our invite‑only social media groups where nurses openly share professional issues, questions, and experiences 24‑7‑365. Discussions range from CHC eligibility and DST documentation to shift pressures, clinical dilemmas, and work–life balance.
These spaces are carefully moderated to remain supportive, respectful, and confidential, giving you a trusted environment to seek advice and give support without judgement.
Networking & Social Connections
Building Professional Contacts and Lasting Friendships
We know that nursing can feel isolating, especially in agency and CHC roles where you move between teams and settings. Our network bridges that gap with regular online and in‑person meet‑ups that help you build genuine, ongoing connections with other nurses.
Many nurses in our community not only connect professionally but also become close friends, supporting each other through personal and career milestones for years to come.
CHC Training, Guidance & Resources
Specialist Support for CHC, Assessments & Documentation
Agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) need up‑to‑date knowledge and confidence in the CHC process. Through our network, you gain access to shared expertise on:
- CHC eligibility criteria and Decision Support Tool (DST) documentation.
- Best practice for assessments, reviews, and evidence gathering.
- Working effectively within MDTs and with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).
- Person‑centred documentation and robust clinical rationales.
While we are first and foremost a community, our members regularly share tips, templates, learning resources, and real‑life examples that can strengthen your CHC practice and professionalism.
Regular CHC‑Focused Events
Workshops, Webinars & Meet‑Ups for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs and participates in a variety of CHC‑related events throughout the year, including:
- Online workshops and Q&A sessions for agency nurses.
- Peer‑led discussions on tricky CHC cases and scenarios (de‑identified).
- Networking events designed specifically for CHC and agency workers.
- Informal social meet‑ups to relax and unwind with fellow nurses.
These events help you stay current with CHC policy and practice while building your confidence and professional network in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere.
Ongoing Peer Support for Work–Life Balance
Because Only Another Nurse Really Understands
Agency and CHC nurses often juggle unsociable hours, high expectations, and emotionally heavy caseloads. Our network acknowledges this reality and offers a place where you can vent, debrief, and receive encouragement from people who truly understand.
Members support each other with practical ideas for managing stress, maintaining boundaries, and protecting wellbeing, helping you sustain a long and fulfilling career in nursing.
