CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses

A Dedicated Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings. Our mission is to connect CHC agency nurses, share knowledge, and provide practical support, so you can deliver safer, higher-quality care while building a rewarding, sustainable nursing career.

Only another nurse truly understands the intensity, responsibility and emotional demands of agency nursing in CHC. Our network gives you a space to relax, connect and grow professionally, surrounded by colleagues who “get it” and are facing similar challenges day to day.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invite-only professional community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK. We bring together Registered Nurses, case managers and senior clinical leads working within CHC, community nursing, and complex care commissioning.

Our network exists to:

• Provide a safe, confidential space for CHC nurses to discuss real-world issues.
• Support career development through shared learning, mentoring and informal guidance.
• Promote best practice in CHC nursing, assessment, documentation and care planning.
• Help agency nurses navigate CHC processes, funding, and multidisciplinary working.
• Foster long-term professional relationships and friendships within the CHC community.

A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

Agency nursing can be isolating, especially in complex CHC roles where expectations are high and support can be limited. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers:

• 24/7 peer support via confidential, invite-only social media groups.
• Regular online and in-person events to bring CHC nurses together.
• Open discussion of professional issues including caseloads, documentation and MDT working.
• Practical advice on navigating CHC assessments, reviews and disputes.
• Emotional support from nurses who understand the pressures of CHC agency work.

Many nurses in our network form strong professional bonds and remain friends and colleagues for years, often supporting each other across different roles, providers and regions.

Regular Events, Networking & Continuing Professional Development

We run regular events designed specifically for CHC and community agency nurses. These are practical, relaxed and focused on real-life issues you encounter in your work.

CHC-Focused Workshops & Knowledge-Sharing Sessions

Our sessions focus on topics such as:

• CHC assessment and eligibility criteria (including DST, evidence gathering and documentation).
• Complex care planning and person-centred approaches in the community.
• Transitions of care from hospital to home, care homes and other settings.
• Safeguarding, risk management and regulatory expectations.
• Working effectively with CCGs/ICBs, local authorities and providers as an agency nurse.

These events help you keep your knowledge current, build confidence, and stay aligned with national CHC frameworks and local practice expectations.

Professional Networking & Career Development

Through our networking events, online meet-ups and group discussions, you can:

• Connect with other experienced CHC nurses and case managers.
• Gain insight into new roles, contracts and specialist CHC opportunities.
• Share tips on rates, working patterns and agency relationships.
• Find informal mentors or peers who can support your career journey.
• Develop a strong professional presence within the CHC nursing community.

Our goal is to help you take control of your CHC agency nursing career, rather than feeling that work is always dictated by others.

Private, Confidential Social Media Groups for CHC Nurses

At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are our private, invite-only social media groups, operating 24-7-365.

Within these groups, our core network of CHC agency nursing professionals:

• Openly share professional issues, questions and scenarios (without breaching confidentiality).
• Discuss best practice for CHC documentation, evidence and decision-making.
• Offer real-time support when colleagues face complex or challenging situations.
• Share updates on CHC policy, guidance and case law (where applicable).
• Exchange practical tools, templates and resources useful in CHC practice.

These groups are monitored to ensure that discussion remains professional, respectful and supportive, with a clear focus on improving practice and protecting patients.

Peer Learning, CHC Expertise & Shared Experience

Our network is built on the principle that peer learning is one of the most powerful tools for professional growth, especially in a specialised area such as CHC.

By joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain access to:

• The collective experience of hundreds of CHC nurses across different organisations and regions.
• Informal peer-led guidance on complex cases, reviews and appeals.
• Practical insight into how CHC processes operate in real life, not just on paper.
• A community that values evidence-based, person-centred CHC practice.
• Support in navigating the emotional and ethical complexities of CHC decision-making.
