CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Dedicated Community for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional and social community created by nurses, for nurses, with a special focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency nursing.
We bring together CHC nurses from across the UK to share knowledge, support each other, and build stronger careers in a relaxed, understanding and confidential environment.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional impact of nursing work, so our network exists to provide a safe space where you can connect with peers who genuinely “get it”.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an active, invite-only community of around 500 experienced CHC agency nurses who stay connected 24/7/365 through private social media groups and regular events.
Members use the network to ask clinical and professional questions, discuss CHC-related issues, share opportunities, and support each other with the realities of agency and CHC work.
Many of our members form long-term friendships, build strong professional networks, and gain practical help and advice that simply isn’t available elsewhere.

We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nurse community together in a supportive and informal setting.

24/7 Private Social Media Groups
Our core community stays in touch via confidential, invite-only social media groups so you can access support, advice, and conversation at any time of the day or night.
These groups are moderated, safe spaces where you can ask sensitive CHC or professional questions, share experiences, and learn from other agency nurses without judgement.
Support for CHC, Agency & Complex Care Nursing
Sharing Best Practice in CHC & Case Management
Our members regularly discuss real‑world Continuing Healthcare (CHC) situations, including assessments, reviews, funding issues and multi‑disciplinary working.
By sharing experience and knowledge, the network helps you improve your approach to CHC case management, documentation, communication and collaboration with ICBs and other providers.
Advice on Agency Working & Work-Life Balance
Agency nursing can be rewarding but challenging, particularly when combined with complex CHC caseloads.
Within our network, nurses share practical tips on managing rotas, negotiating with agencies, working safely in new environments, protecting your registration, and maintaining a healthy work‑life balance.
Support with Complex Patients & Safeguarding Concerns
Members can discuss approaches to caring for patients with complex needs, including learning disabilities, dementia, mental health conditions, and long‑term physical health problems.
We encourage evidence‑based, person‑centred practice and mutual support around safeguarding, capacity, consent and Deprivation of Liberty issues in community and institutional settings.
Learning, Training & Knowledge Sharing
CHC & Community DOL Conversation and Learning
While we are a peer support network rather than a formal training provider, our community regularly discusses the CHC and Community DoLS application processes, documentation and legal frameworks.
These conversations help members stay up to date with eligibility criteria, assessment expectations, and good practice around capacity and liberty safeguards in community care.
Shared Resources & Practical Tools
Members frequently share links to useful policies, toolkits, guidance documents, research articles and templates that make CHC and agency work more manageable.
This informal, peer‑led learning environment enables you to continuously update your knowledge and improve your practice without the pressure of formal classroom settings.
