CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses working in agency, bank and independent roles across the UK.
We bring CHC professionals together to share knowledge, build connections, access specialist training and make day-to-day working life in nursing easier, more supported and more rewarding.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and professional pressures that come with the role.
Our private network offers a safe, confidential and friendly space where CHC nurses can connect, ask questions, and support each other 24/7.
What is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing, invite-only community of around 500 Continuing Healthcare agency nurses and healthcare professionals.
We host regular online and in-person events, support groups and workshops designed specifically for nurses working within CHC, complex care and community settings.
Members are welcomed into our private social media groups and confidential discussion forums, where they can share professional issues, case queries and practical tips every day of the year (24-7-365).
Many nurses in our network build strong friendships and professional relationships that last for years.

- Agency nurses and bank nurses involved in CHC assessments and reviews

Key Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
Our network is designed to support your professional development, emotional wellbeing and everyday practice as a CHC nurse.
1. A Supportive Community That Understands CHC Nursing
Nursing in Continuing Healthcare can feel isolating, especially when working as an agency nurse.
Our network gives you a trusted place to talk to people who genuinely understand your role, your pressures and your responsibilities.
- Connect with CHC nurses who “get it” and share similar challenges
- Discuss complex cases, workloads and ethical dilemmas in a safe environment
- Gain reassurance, encouragement and peer support when you need it most
- Share successes and celebrate professional milestones together
2. Regular CHC Events, Workshops and Networking Opportunities
We run regular events to keep our community of CHC nurses connected, informed and up to date with best practice and policy changes.
- Online CHC webinars and Q&A sessions with experienced practitioners
- Workshops on eligibility assessments, MDTs, disputes and appeals
- Virtual meet-ups and peer support sessions
- In-person networking events (where available) to strengthen professional connections
These events are designed to be relaxed, practical and highly relevant to your everyday CHC nursing practice.
3. Ongoing Professional Development in Continuing Healthcare
The CHC landscape changes regularly, with updates to NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, funding rules and assessment processes.
Our network helps you stay current and confident in your role.
- Access shared resources, guidance and tools from fellow CHC nurses
- Learn from real-world examples and case discussions
- Stay informed on changes to CHC policies, assessments and reviews
- Develop your skills in documentation, decision-making and advocacy
Specialist Focus: Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Nursing
Unlike general nursing groups, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is entirely focused on Continuing Healthcare and related complex care pathways.
This allows us to provide highly targeted support for nurses working in this specialist field.
Deepening Your Understanding of CHC Processes
Members of our network regularly share insight and experience across the full CHC pathway, including:
- Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) completion and best practice
- Understanding primary health need and eligibility criteria
- Preparing for and contributing to Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings
- Appeals, reviews and dispute resolution processes
- Balancing clinical judgement with national CHC frameworks
By learning from peers who are actively working in these roles, you can build confidence and competence in delivering safe, consistent and person-centred CHC assessments and care.
Sharing Best Practice in Care Planning and Case Management
Many nurses in our network also work in complex care, learning disability (LD) services and case management.
This gives members the opportunity to explore wider aspects of high-quality, community-based care, including:
- Developing robust, person-centred care plans
- Risk assessment and management in the community
- Co-ordinating multi-agency input around CHC-funded packages
- Promoting independence, dignity and choice in long-term conditions
Private, Confidential Social Media Groups for CHC Nurses
We understand the importance of privacy when discussing professional issues.
That’s why our core community is hosted via confidential, invite-only social media groups that are moderated and managed by experienced CHC nurses.
- 24/7 access to peer support, advice and shared experience
- Strictly moderated to respect confidentiality and professionalism
- No public posting – discussions are visible to members only
- Space to talk honestly about pressures, workloads and wellbeing
Our community is not a public forum; it is a safe, closed network where CHC nurses can connect without fear of judgement.
Work–Life Balance and Wellbeing for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is not just about clinical issues; it is also about wellbeing, resilience and work–life balance.
We recognise the stress that can come with CHC nursing – tight deadlines, complex decisions, challenging conversations with families and commissioners – and we encourage open conversations around mental health, burnout and self-care.
- Peer-led discussions on managing stress and emotional load
- Practical tips for agency nurses balancing multiple assignments
- Space to debrief and reflect on difficult cases
- Supportive friendships that extend beyond work
