CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Community for CHC Agency Nurses, Training & Support
A Dedicated Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community designed for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK, offering a safe, supportive space to connect, learn, and grow professionally. We understand the unique pressures of CHC work, from complex assessments to case management, and we exist to make your professional life easier, more rewarding, and better supported.
Through our invite-only groups, expert-led training, and peer-to-peer support, we bring together CHC-experienced agency nurses who want to build their knowledge, share best practice, and stay up to date with the latest NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, frameworks, and compliance expectations.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Relaxed but Professional Space for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just a group – it is a professional network and community where CHC agency nurses can relax, ask questions, and talk openly with colleagues who truly understand the realities of CHC nursing. As every nurse knows, only another nurse can fully appreciate the emotional load, high expectations, and daily stress involved in our work; our network is built around that understanding.
Members use our network to discuss cases (confidentially and appropriately), share tips on navigating CHC panels and MDTs, explore new opportunities, and find support from professionals working in similar roles and environments.
A Growing Community of Over 500 CHC Nursing Professionals
We have a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who actively engage with each other 24/7/365 through confidential, invite-only social media groups. Many of our nurses build friendships that last for years, supporting each other through career changes, difficult shifts, and complex CHC cases.
New members are warmly welcomed into our private online communities and regular events, where they quickly become part of a trusted network that cares about both professional standards and personal wellbeing.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Professional Development
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
Build Confidence in CHC Assessments & Funding
We provide specialist CHC training tailored specifically for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare, including CHC eligibility assessments, the National Framework, Decision Support Tools (DST), and funding pathways. Our expert-led sessions help you develop the confidence and competence needed to manage complex CHC cases, communicate effectively with MDTs, and ensure person-centred decision-making.
Up-to-Date, Practical Learning
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand the realities of agency work, offering practical, scenario-based learning rather than purely theoretical content. We regularly update our material to reflect changes in policy, guidance, and best practice, so you can stay compliant and informed in an ever-evolving CHC landscape.
Workshops on Care Transitions, Complex Needs & Case Management
Safe and Effective Care Transitions
Our workshops cover care transition management, helping CHC nurses support safe, seamless movement between acute, community, and home settings. We explore risk reduction, communication strategies, discharge planning, and coordination across multidisciplinary teams to protect patient safety and continuity of care.
Person-Centred Support for Complex & Vulnerable Patients
We also provide training on supporting vulnerable populations, including those with learning disabilities, dementia, and complex physical health needs. Sessions focus on person-centred care planning, safeguarding, Mental Capacity Act considerations, and promoting dignity, independence, and quality of life.
Events, Networking & Peer Support for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC Events & Study Days
Stay Current with CHC Policy & Best Practice
We run regular events for CHC agency nurses, including study days, webinars, seminars, and informal networking meet-ups. These events keep you updated on CHC policy developments, case law, practice standards, and inspection expectations, while providing a friendly environment to meet and learn from colleagues across the UK.
Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
Confidential 24/7 Peer-to-Peer Support
Our network is supported by confidential, invite-only social media groups where members can raise professional issues, ask for advice, share experiences, and offer support around the clock. We encourage respectful discussion, evidence-based practice, and collaborative problem-solving, creating a safe space for CHC agency nurses to talk about the real challenges of their roles.
Career Development & Opportunities
Grow Your CHC Career with the Right Support
Being part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network can help you develop your CHC career, connect with agencies and organisations that value your skill set, and discover new roles or contracts aligned with your expertise. Members often share insights into rates, expectations, and working conditions, helping you make informed decisions about your professional future.
Consultancy & Support for CHC Practice
Expert Guidance on CHC Processes & Documentation
Navigate Complex CHC Systems with Confidence
The network also offers access to expert CHC consultancy and guidance for members seeking support with complex documentation, appeals, eligibility disputes, or case management queries. While we are primarily a network and community, we signpost and, where appropriate, connect members with experienced CHC specialists who can help them navigate challenging situations.
Support Around Legal & Ethical Frameworks
Community DOLS, MCA & Safeguarding Discussions
Our community regularly discusses topics such as Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DOLS), the Mental Capacity Act, safeguarding, best interest decisions, and ethical dilemmas in CHC. Through case-based learning and peer discussion, we help each other maintain safe, lawful, and compassionate practice.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
Our community is shaped by CHC-experienced agency nurses who know what it means to work in Continuing Healthcare across different settings, CCGs/ICBs, and provider services. This lived experience underpins everything we do, from the topics we cover to the events we run and the way we support each other.
Supportive, Welcoming and Professional
New members are welcomed into an environment that is professional yet friendly and relaxed. Many members tell us that being part of the network reduces feelings of isolation, especially when working as an agency nurse without a consistent team around them.
Focused on Quality, Learning & Wellbeing
We are committed to high-quality CHC practice, continuous learning, and the wellbeing of our members. Through shared knowledge, emotional support, and access to training, we aim to help CHC agency nurses protect their registration, enhance their skills, and maintain a healthy work–life balance.
