CHC Nurses Agency Network: Supporting Agency Nurses with Community, Training and CHC Expertise

About CHC Nurses Agency Network

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based community and support hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare professionals. We bring together experienced CHC nurses working across the NHS, social care, and independent sectors, offering peer support, specialist knowledge-sharing, and professional development opportunities.

Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the reality of agency work: demanding shifts, high expectations, and complex patient needs. We provide a safe, supportive space where CHC nurses can connect, learn, and grow their careers while staying up to date with CHC assessments, funding processes, case management, and best practice in community care.

Whether you are new to agency nursing or an experienced CHC professional, the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you navigate Continuing Healthcare with confidence, expand your contacts, and feel part of a strong professional community.

What We Offer CHC Agency Nurses

Community and Peer Support

A Professional Network That Understands Agency Nursing

As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the demands and pressures of nursing. The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place where you can relax, talk openly, and be understood by colleagues facing the same challenges.

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connects daily through confidential, invite-only social media groups. Members share experiences, ask questions, seek advice, and support each other with real-life CHC cases, workplace issues, and career decisions.

Many of our members not only become trusted professional contacts but also develop long-lasting friendships that continue for years. You are never alone when you are part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network.

Private Online Groups and 24/7 Support

Safe, Confidential Spaces for CHC Nurses

We host multiple private social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses and allied professionals. These invite-only spaces allow members to share professional issues confidentially 24/7, 365 days a year, without fear of judgment.

Discussions in our groups cover a wide range of topics, including:

  • CHC eligibility criteria, assessments, and checklists
  • Hospital discharge, community care, and complex case transitions
  • Agency work issues, pay, contracts, and shift patterns
  • Documentation, MDT meetings, and dealing with challenges in practice
  • Wellbeing, stress management, and work–life balance

Our aim is to ensure that no CHC nurse feels isolated. There is always someone online to offer support, guidance, or simply a listening ear.

Events, Meet-Ups and Networking

Bringing CHC Agency Nurses Together

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, meet-ups, and online sessions designed to bring our community together, strengthen professional relationships, and share up-to-date CHC knowledge.

Events may include:

  • Online webinars and Q&A sessions on CHC processes and policy updates
  • In-person networking meet-ups and social gatherings
  • Peer-led discussions on complex CHC cases and care planning
  • Informal support sessions for managing stress and burnout in agency work

Our events help you build a strong professional network within Continuing Healthcare, opening doors to new opportunities, collaborations, and support systems.

Informal Training, Learning and CHC Knowledge-Sharing

Developing Your Skills in Continuing Healthcare

While we are first and foremost a community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network also has a strong focus on professional learning and development. Through our network you can access:

  • Shared resources and guidance on CHC assessment, funding applications, and appeals
  • Peer support around CHC and community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards)
  • Discussions on best practice in person-centred care and complex case management
  • Insights from experienced CHC nurses on documentation, MDT working, and decision support tools

We help you stay current with CHC frameworks and changes, building your confidence and competence in this specialist area of nursing – whether you’re new to CHC or an experienced practitioner looking to refresh your knowledge.

Support with Continuing Healthcare Practice

Real-World Advice from Experienced CHC Nurses

Continuing Healthcare can be complex, and agency nurses often navigate demanding caseloads, rapid decision-making, and evolving policies. Our network provides a place to:

  • Ask practical questions about CHC eligibility, checklists, and DSTs (Decision Support Tools)
  • Discuss how to handle challenging CHC meetings and multidisciplinary dynamics
  • Share approaches to case management, documentation, and communication
  • Gain insight into how CHC processes vary between ICBs and local areas

By learning from peers who work daily in CHC and community settings, you can strengthen your practice, improve patient outcomes, and enhance your professional reputation as a CHC agency nurse.
