CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and support hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK. We bring together experienced nurses, nurse assessors and case managers who work in CHC, providing a trusted space for collaboration, learning and professional development.
As practising nurses, we understand the daily pressures of CHC work, from complex assessments and funding decisions to multidisciplinary coordination and regulatory compliance. Our network exists to make your professional life easier, strengthen your knowledge and connect you with colleagues who truly understand the realities of agency nursing in CHC.
Through regular events, private social media groups and specialist resources, we help nurses build long‑term professional relationships, stay up to date with CHC guidance and share best practice that directly improves patient outcomes.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 CHC agency nurses, nurse assessors and related professionals who work across NHS, private and independent sectors. Our members are involved in Continuing Healthcare assessments, reviews, case management and complex care delivery in the community and care settings.
We provide a confidential, invite‑only environment where nurses can ask questions, discuss complex cases (in line with confidentiality requirements), share resources and support each other 24/7/365. Many of our members form lasting friendships and build strong professional connections that continue throughout their careers.
Membership gives you access to peer support, events and learning opportunities focused specifically on CHC practice, eligibility, assessment, personalised care planning and effective inter‑agency working.
Key Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Connect with Nurses Who Understand CHC
Only another CHC nurse truly understands the emotional load, professional responsibility and complexity of Continuing Healthcare work. Our network brings together nurses who share your challenges, from tight deadlines and difficult funding decisions to multidisciplinary disputes and safeguarding concerns.
Members can openly share professional experiences, seek advice from peers and gain reassurance from colleagues who understand the pressures of agency and bank CHC roles. This sense of community helps reduce burnout and improves resilience in demanding CHC environments.
Private, Confidential Social Media Groups
We host a range of private, invite‑only social media groups dedicated to CHC agency nurses. These groups operate 24‑7‑365, allowing members to connect at any time, wherever they are based in the UK.
Our core network of around 500 professionals uses these groups to discuss CHC practice issues, share useful tools and templates, highlight regulatory changes and offer real‑time support to colleagues. All groups are moderated to maintain professionalism, confidentiality and respect.
Events, Networking & Peer Learning
Regular CHC‑Focused Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together. These include educational webinars, peer‑learning sessions, case‑based discussions and informal meet‑ups where nurses can connect socially and professionally.
Events cover key areas such as CHC eligibility, MDT coordination, appeals, complex care planning and changes in national guidance. They are designed to be practical, interactive and directly relevant to front‑line CHC agency practice.
Building Long‑Term Professional Relationships
Many nurses in our network build strong professional and personal relationships that last for years. Members often collaborate on projects, share opportunities and refer each other to roles with commissioners, providers and agencies.
By joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain access to a powerful professional network of like‑minded nurses who can support your development, help you navigate career decisions and share insight from different CHC settings.
CHC Training, Education & Professional Development

Training explores national frameworks, eligibility criteria, robust clinical rationales and documentation best practice, helping nurses improve accuracy, consistency and defensibility of CHC assessments.
Improving Quality, Compliance & Outcomes
Our CHC education supports nurses to deliver safe, person‑centred care that is aligned with national guidance and local commissioning policies. We use real‑world case studies, scenario‑based learning and regulatory updates to keep members informed and confident in their practice.
Agency nurses benefit from enhanced understanding of governance, safeguarding, consent, mental capacity and best‑interest decision making within the CHC context, leading to better outcomes for patients and commissioners alike.
