CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Supportive UK Network for Continuing Healthcare Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated, confidential community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK, created to support you in your professional practice, career development and wellbeing.
We connect CHC agency nurses with peer support, specialist training, practical resources and regular events, helping you navigate the realities of CHC work, improve patient outcomes and maintain high standards of care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a professional forum – it is a trusted space to talk openly with other CHC agency nurses who genuinely understand the pressures, responsibilities and challenges of your role.
Our private, invite-only social media groups and community events give you a place to relax, share experiences, ask questions and build lasting friendships with nurses working in similar environments.

Our Core Services & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
Safe Space to Share Professional Issues
Only another nurse truly understands the emotional and practical demands of nursing; our network gives you a safe, non-judgemental place to discuss difficult cases, ethical dilemmas and workplace pressures.
We openly share professional issues 24-7-365 between our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals via invite-only social media groups, ensuring you are never alone with a challenge.
CHC-Focused Training, Guidance & Resources
We provide and signpost specialist guidance on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) practice, including CHC assessments, reviews, care planning and funding processes, to help you feel confident and competent in your role.
Through shared resources, peer learning and expert-led sessions, you can stay up to date with CHC frameworks, national guidelines and local policies that impact your everyday practice.
Events, Meet-Ups & Networking for CHC Nurses
We run regular online and face-to-face events designed specifically for CHC agency nurses, including informal meet-ups, peer support groups, webinars and discussion sessions.
These events help you build strong professional contacts, share best practice and develop friendships that often continue for many years beyond initial introductions.
Peer-Led Support for Transitions & Complex Cases
Many CHC agency nurses work across multiple settings and complex transitions of care, such as hospital discharge, community placements and long-term care arrangements.
Within the network, you can ask peers for advice on complex transitions, discuss documentation, explore person-centred approaches and learn from real-world examples in a supportive environment.
CHC Documentation, Care Planning & Compliance Support
Members frequently share tips for robust CHC documentation, evidence gathering, MDT working and care planning to support safe, effective and defensible clinical decision-making.
By learning from others’ experiences, you can strengthen your practice around CHC decision support tools (DSTs), risk assessments and person-centred care plans while remaining aligned with national and local expectations.
Community Around Pre-CQC & Quality Standards
Although the network itself is not a regulator, CHC agency nurses in our community often discuss CQC expectations, quality standards and best practice in the settings they work in.
Through shared learning, you can gain insight into how other nurses prepare for CQC inspections, uphold standards and contribute to safe, effective and well-led services.
Support for Person-Centred Care in CHC & Learning Disabilities
Many CHC cases involve people with Learning Disabilities (LD), complex health needs and long-term conditions; our community regularly shares approaches that promote dignity, choice and independence.
You can exchange ideas on person-centred care plans, reasonable adjustments, communication strategies and multi-agency working to improve outcomes for individuals with LD and other complex needs.
Professional Development & Career Progression in CHC
Members use the network to explore new roles, specialist CHC posts, education opportunities and portfolio development, supporting long-term career growth in the CHC field.
With input from experienced colleagues, you can identify skills gaps, CPD opportunities and potential career pathways that align with your interests and strengths as a CHC agency nurse.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Built by and for CHC Agency Nurses
Our network is run by nurses for nurses, which means the conversation is always grounded in real-world practice, not theory.
Members understand the unique pressures of agency life – from variable rotas and changing teams to complex caseloads and documentation demands.
A Relaxed but Professional Environment
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place where you can relax, be yourself and speak freely, while still focusing on professional standards and high-quality care.
Many nurses join for the professional support and stay for the friendships, humour and solidarity that grow naturally within the group.
Confidential, Invite‑Only Social Media Groups
We maintain a series of private, invite-only social media groups to keep discussion safe, supportive and confidential.
These spaces enable 24/7 peer support, so you can reach out whenever you need advice, encouragement or a listening ear.
Long-Term Connections & Community
Many nurses who meet through the CHC Nurses Agency Network go on to stay in touch, collaborate and remain friends for many years.
By joining, you become part of a growing, experienced community of around 500 CHC agency nurses who share your commitment to safe, person-centred care.
