CHC Nurses Agency Network: Connecting, Supporting & Empowering CHC Nurses

The UK’s Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses. Our private, supportive network helps Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses connect, share real-world experiences, access peer advice and develop their careers with confidence. Through our active social groups, regular events and informal mentoring, we make it easier to navigate agency work, manage daily stress and stay up to date with CHC practice.

With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we provide a safe, confidential space where you can ask questions, discuss complex cases (within confidentiality rules), access practical tips and feel understood by colleagues who truly know the demands of CHC nursing.

A Relaxed, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses

We know that only another nurse really understands the physical, mental and emotional energy that goes into caring for patients in the CHC arena. The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed as a place where you can relax, reflect and recharge while staying professionally connected.

Our members use the network to:

Build genuine friendships with fellow CHC agency nurses across the UK
Share day-to-day challenges, wins and best practices in a non-judgemental environment
Ask quick questions and get instant peer support 24/7/365
Reduce stress by talking openly with people who do the same job
Feel less isolated when working across multiple agencies or locations

Many nurses who join our network go on to form long-term friendships and trusted professional relationships that last for years.

Professional Networking and Career Development for CHC Nurses

Beyond emotional support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a powerful hub for professional networking and career growth in Continuing Healthcare. Whether you are new to CHC, transitioning from ward work, or already highly experienced, our community can help you develop your skills and expand your opportunities.

Through our network you can:

Connect with experienced CHC nurses, assessors and case managers
Gain insight into different CHC roles, contracts and agencies
Learn how to navigate complex CHC packages, assessments and MDTs
Share tips on documentation, time management and working across multiple providers
Discover informal mentoring and peer learning opportunities

We encourage open, constructive discussion of professional issues, including workload, boundaries, communication with MDTs and agencies, and maintaining high-quality, person-centred care in challenging environments.

Regular Events to Bring CHC Agency Nurses Together

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events to keep our community connected and informed. These events are designed to be relaxed, practical and relevant to the realities of CHC agency work.

Workshops, Meetups and Peer-Led Sessions

Our events programme typically includes:

Online meetups and discussion groups on key CHC topics
Peer-led sessions on managing stress, boundaries and resilience
Informal teaching on CHC assessments, documentation and care planning

Occasional in-person social gatherings where members can meet face-to-face

Events are regularly updated and advertised within our private groups, ensuring you can easily find sessions that match your interests and availability.

Staying Informed About CHC Practice and Policy

As regulations, funding frameworks and best practice in NHS Continuing Healthcare continue to evolve, our community helps you stay informed. Members frequently share:

Updates on CHC guidelines, tools and documentation
Practical tips on working with local CCG/ICB/ICS teams and providers
Experiences around audits, quality reviews and commissioning expectations
Resources that support safe, person-centred, compliant CHC practice

This collaborative approach helps agency nurses remain confident, competent and up to date without feeling overwhelmed.

Private, Confidential Social Media Groups for CHC Nurses

At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are our confidential, invite-only social media groups. These are designed as safe spaces for open, honest discussion away from public platforms and general nursing forums.

Within our groups you will find:

Instant access to a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals
24/7/365 peer support from nurses who understand CHC work
Space to discuss professional issues without fear of judgement
Opportunities to share learning, resources and experiences
Announcements about upcoming events, meetups and opportunities

Membership is moderated to protect confidentiality, professionalism and the wellbeing of everyone involved. Our guiding principle is simple: supportive, respectful, nurse-to-nurse communication at all times.
