CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Support for Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and specialist consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community settings and complex care.
We provide a supportive professional network, CHC-focused training, and consultancy solutions that help agency nurses and healthcare providers deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals actively share knowledge, resources and best practice 24/7/365 via confidential, invite-only social media groups.
Through expert-led training, peer support and tailored consultancy, we help nurses navigate CHC processes, improve documentation, and maintain high standards of care in line with NHS and regulatory requirements.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional hub where agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and complex care can connect, learn and grow.
It is a relaxed yet focused space where only other nurses truly understand the pressures, responsibilities and daily challenges of CHC nursing.
We welcome new members into our private online community, where CHC nurses can ask questions, share professional issues confidentially, access support in real time, and build lasting friendships.
Many members have remained connected and supportive of each other for years, strengthening professional resilience and work–life balance.
Our Specialist CHC Training, Community & Consultancy Services
CHC Training for Agency Nurses: Build Confidence and Competence
We offer targeted training for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community settings and complex care packages.
Our courses are designed to help you understand CHC eligibility, assessments, reviews, documentation standards and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand the realities of agency work, including lone working, multi-agency communication and time pressures.
You will gain practical tools that improve your documentation, decision-making and professional confidence in CHC nursing roles.
Peer Support & Private Social Media Groups: 24/7 Professional Community
Our private, invite-only social media groups provide a safe, confidential space for CHC agency nurses to share experiences, ask clinical or procedural questions, and seek advice from peers who understand the CHC landscape.
Support is available 24-7-365, making it easier to manage challenging cases, complex families and evolving CHC guidance.
Within our core network of approximately 500 CHC agency nurses, members openly discuss professional issues, share resources and signpost each other to relevant policies, training and opportunities.
This ongoing interaction strengthens your professional practice, reduces isolation and helps you stay up to date with CHC best practice.
Regular CHC Events, Workshops and Networking
We run regular in-person and online events for CHC agency nurses, including workshops, study days, webinars and informal meet-ups.
These events focus on current topics in Continuing Healthcare, community practice, safeguarding, documentation standards and regulatory expectations.
Our events are also an opportunity to build a strong professional network, meet other CHC nurses face-to-face and develop long-term friendships and collaborations.
Nurses in our network often continue to support each other across different agency roles, geographical areas and stages of their careers.
Consultancy Support for Healthcare Organisations
CHC Nurses Agency Network also partners with healthcare organisations, agencies and providers who require specialist CHC consultancy.
We support services to understand CHC frameworks, improve care planning and documentation, and align with NHS and regulatory expectations.
Our consultancy can include reviewing current practices, advising on CHC-related pathways, and supporting services to develop robust policies and procedures for CHC-funded or complex care packages.
This helps organisations improve quality, manage risk and ensure that agency nurses are supported to deliver safe, effective care.
Support with Complex Care, Community DOL and Person-Centred Care
Many CHC agency nurses work with people who have complex physical, mental health and learning disability needs in community and home settings.
Our network provides guidance and shared learning around person-centred care, risk management, best interest decisions and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes.
Through peer discussion, case-based learning and specialist input, we help nurses feel more confident working with complex cases, advocating for patients and families, and contributing effectively to multi-agency reviews and CHC panels.
Resources, Guidance and Job Opportunities for CHC Agency Nurses
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network benefit from shared resources, policy updates and signposting to reputable CHC-related learning materials.
We also highlight relevant job opportunities, short-term contracts and specialist roles in Continuing Healthcare and complex community care.
Whether you are new to CHC, transitioning from ward work to community practice, or an experienced CHC nurse looking to develop further, our network provides ongoing support and information tailored to your professional journey.
