CHC Nurses Agency Network: Empowering CHC & Agency Nurses
A Dedicated Community for CHC & Agency Nursing Professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive, professional community created by agency nurses for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community and complex care settings across the UK.
We bring together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in a confidential, invite-only network to share knowledge, provide peer support, develop careers and improve outcomes for patients with complex health and social care needs.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of frontline care. Our network provides a safe space to connect, debrief, learn and grow, 24/7/365.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional support hub and a specialist resource centre for nurses working in CHC, community care, and agency roles.
We help nurses and healthcare providers navigate Continuing Healthcare processes, CQC requirements, community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications, complex care planning, and safe transitions between care settings.
Through our online groups, training, and events, nurses can relax, connect and develop their professional practice while staying up to date with the latest guidance, policies and best practice in CHC and complex care.
Key Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
A Safe, Supportive Professional Community
Connect With Nurses Who Truly Understand
Our private CHC nurse network provides a space where you can share experiences, challenges and successes with colleagues who understand the realities of agency and CHC nursing.
Many members build long-lasting professional relationships and friendships, staying in touch, collaborating and supporting each other for years after joining our community.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Confidential, Invite‑Only Online Spaces
We host several confidential invite-only social media groups where over 500 CHC agency nurses share professional issues, ask clinical and practical questions, and offer guidance around the clock.
From CHC assessments and community DoL applications to documentation, safeguarding, and complex case discussions, you can access peer insight and real-time support whenever you need it.
Regular CHC Networking Events & Meet‑Ups
Learn, Network and Relax With Fellow Agency Nurses
We organise regular CHC-related events including informal meet-ups, educational workshops and networking sessions designed to bring our community together in person and online.
These events help you expand your professional network, share best practice, keep up with policy changes and enjoy some much-needed time with people who understand your working world.
Specialist Support for CHC & Complex Care Practice
Support With Patient Transitions in CHC & Community Care
Safer Moves Between Hospital, Home and Care Settings
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and supported living can be high-risk moments for people with complex needs, and they are a core focus of CHC nursing practice.
Through our community and educational content, we help nurses share strategies and tools to support safe, person-centred transitions, maintain continuity of care and protect patient wellbeing at every stage.
Pre‑CQC Preparation & Quality Improvement Insight
Practical CQC Awareness for Agency & CHC Nurses
While we are not a regulator, our network supports nurses to understand how their practice contributes to CQC standards and quality outcomes in the services where they work.
Members regularly share tips, resources and real-world experience around documentation, policies, record keeping, and evidence that supports good and outstanding CQC ratings.
Person‑Centred Care for Learning Disabilities and Autism
Promoting Dignity, Independence and Safety
Many CHC and community agency nurses support people with learning disabilities (LD), autism and complex behavioural needs in community settings.
Within our network, nurses exchange proven, person‑centred approaches and practical tools that promote dignity, maximise independence, reduce restrictive practices and improve quality of life.
Training and Knowledge‑Sharing for CHC Nurses
CHC & Community DoL Application Process Guidance
Understand CHC Eligibility, Funding and Legal Frameworks
Our network focuses strongly on CHC processes including eligibility assessments, decision support tools, MDT working, care planning, and funding pathways.
Through peer-led sessions and shared resources, nurses gain confidence in supporting community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications and working within legal and safeguarding frameworks in complex cases.
CHC‑Focused Events, Webinars and Study Sessions
Stay Up to Date With Best Practice in Continuing Healthcare
We regularly host and promote CHC-related webinars, study days and online discussions to keep nurses current with evolving policy, guidance and best practice.
These events help agency and community nurses stay ahead in areas such as risk assessment, documentation, safeguarding, complex care management and multidisciplinary working.
Shared Case Management Experience and Peer Mentoring
Learn From Complex CHC Cases Across the Network
While the network does not directly manage cases, many members are experienced in CHC case management, clinical coordination and complex community care.
By discussing anonymised scenarios, practical dilemmas and multidisciplinary challenges, nurses gain real-world insight into managing complex caseloads ethically, safely and effectively.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Designed by Agency Nurses, for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is built and led by nurses who have worked extensively in CHC, agency and community roles, so every aspect of the network reflects real frontline experience.
We understand shift work, travel, lone working, and the pressures of complex community care, and we shape our support and events to fit around those realities.
Professional Growth, Personal Support
Members join us both to progress their careers and to feel less isolated in demanding roles, finding a balance of education, mentorship and genuine human connection.
Whether you are new to CHC and agency work or an experienced practitioner, the network offers a place to ask questions, share your expertise and be part of a thriving professional community.
Easy to Join, Simple to Stay Connected
We welcome new nurses into the CHC Nurses Agency Network and help them get started in our private groups, events and online discussions quickly and easily.
Once you join, you can engage at your own pace—whether that means actively contributing every day or dipping in when you need advice, updates or support from fellow CHC nurses.
Conclusion
The CHC Nurses Agency Network exists to make life easier, safer and more rewarding for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare, agency and community roles.
