CHC Nurses Agency Network – Your Community for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Training, and Expert Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and complex care. We bring together CHC nurses, provide specialist training, offer peer-to-peer support and share practical resources to help you navigate the realities of modern healthcare practice.
Our mission is to support CHC agency nurses to build confident, informed and resilient careers through evidence-based education, shared experience and collaborative problem-solving. Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, our network offers a safe, supportive space to learn, grow and connect.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both an online and offline community where CHC agency nurses can relax, ask questions, share feedback and access specialist knowledge around Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional load of frontline care. Our network is built on that shared understanding. Most members stay in touch regularly, and many build lasting friendships that continue long after working together.
We host private, invite-only social media groups and regular events so that CHC nurses can share professional issues 24/7/365 within a trusted, confidential environment. Our core network includes around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, all committed to supporting each other and raising standards of care.
Specialist Training & Professional Development for CHC Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training and Updates
We provide specialised CHC training designed specifically for agency nurses, case managers and other healthcare professionals involved in Continuing Healthcare assessments, reviews and commissioning.
Our sessions cover key areas such as CHC eligibility criteria, checklist and DST processes, decision-making support, care planning, legal frameworks, and documentation best practice. Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and practitioners who understand both policy and real-world practice.
Whether you are new to CHC or need an update on current guidance, our courses help you stay compliant, confident and prepared for complex assessments and multidisciplinary meetings.
Support with Care Transitions and Complex Pathways
Safe and well-planned care transitions are vital to patient safety, experience and outcomes. We share practical guidance, case examples and peer advice to help nurses manage transitions between hospital, community, home care, nursing homes and other care settings.
Through our network, you can explore best practice around discharge planning, continuity of care, communication with multidisciplinary teams, and how CHC funding links with other services. Our goal is to help you reduce avoidable readmissions, improve coordination and support truly person-centred care.
Career Support for Agency Nurses in CHC
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a place to develop your nursing career. Members openly share information on agency work, contract roles, specialist CHC opportunities and pathways into case management, clinical leadership and advisory roles.
By connecting with experienced CHC nurses, you gain insight into pay rates, expectations, documentation standards, and how to position yourself for the roles you want – while maintaining your work–life balance and professional boundaries.
Consultancy, Compliance and Best Practice Sharing
Practical Support Around CHC Processes and Standards
Within our network, nurses regularly discuss CHC policies, frameworks and regulatory expectations. While we are a peer-support community (not a regulator), many members have extensive experience in CHC commissioning, case management and quality improvement.
Through shared learning, we help each other improve documentation, understand what commissioners are looking for, and align everyday practice with national guidance and local protocols. This peer-led consultancy style support helps agency nurses feel more prepared and less isolated.
Improving Care for People with Complex Needs and Learning Disabilities
Many CHC nurses within our network support adults and children with complex health needs, Learning Disabilities (LD) and autism. Our members exchange practical tips, communication strategies and person-centred approaches to improve dignity, independence and safety.
We share evidence-based resources, care planning ideas and examples of reasonable adjustments to help you provide equitable, compassionate care to people with additional needs in any care setting.
Events, Webinars and Online Community Engagement
Regular CHC-Focused Events and Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and occasional in-person events, including webinars, discussion groups and informal meetups for CHC nurses.
Topics include updates in Continuing Healthcare, case discussions, complex scenario problem-solving, documentation tips and wellbeing for agency nurses. These events are ideal for networking, sharing experiences and building your professional support system.
Confidential, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
We host several private, invite-only social media groups where members can raise issues, ask questions and share resources at any time of the day or night.
Our groups are moderated to maintain confidentiality, professionalism and respect. Many nurses join initially for information and stay for the sense of community, friendship and mutual understanding that develops over time.
