CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Built by Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community, training hub, and support network created exclusively for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We bring CHC agency nurses together to share knowledge, build professional connections, access expert training, and navigate the everyday pressures of frontline nursing with a supportive peer group that truly understands the realities of the role.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse fully understands the emotional demands, clinical responsibility, and constant change that come with nursing. Our network provides a safe, confidential environment where CHC nurses can connect, learn, grow, and feel genuinely supported 24/7/365.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer a unique blend of peer support, Continuing Healthcare expertise, and practical resources to help you develop your career and deliver the highest standards of patient care.
- Built for CHC nurses – by nurses who understand CHC frameworks, pressures, and expectations.
- Confidential, invite-only groups – safe spaces to discuss real issues, ask questions, and share solutions.
- Regular events and meet-ups – online and in-person sessions that strengthen community and knowledge.
- Career and training support – guidance on CHC processes, documentation, assessments, and best practice.
- Long-term connections – many members become lifelong friends, colleagues, and collaborators.
A Relaxed but Professional Space for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed to be a place where you can relax, offload, and learn. Our members use the network to:
- Share daily challenges and practical solutions related to CHC and complex care.
- Discuss cases in a confidential, anonymised way to improve clinical reasoning.
- Exchange tips on documentation, MDTs, CHC assessments, and appeals.
- Stay up to date with CHC policy changes, best practice, and guidance.
- Talk openly about stress, burnout, and work–life balance with people who truly understand.
We welcome new members who are committed to safe, person-centred care and who want to be part of a supportive professional community rather than just another mailing list.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Confidential Invite-Only CHC Nursing Groups
Our core activity happens within our confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses connect every day. These groups are carefully moderated to maintain professionalism, confidentiality, and respect.
Within these spaces, members:
- Raise professional issues and get fast responses from experienced CHC colleagues.
- Ask clinical, legal, and procedural questions related to Continuing Healthcare.
- Share resources, templates, and tools that save time and reduce stress.
- Support each other through complex cases, difficult shifts, and challenging work environments.
24-7-365 Support from a Community That Understands
Because our members work across different shifts and settings, our groups are active 24-7-365. Whether you’re coming off a night shift, preparing for a CHC assessment, or dealing with a challenging care situation, you’ll find peers online who can listen, guide, and support.
Events, Meet-Ups & CHC-Focused Learning
Regular Events to Bring CHC Nurses Together
We run regular events to bring our community together in a relaxed but purposeful way. These may include:
- Online discussion groups and Q&A sessions on CHC topics.
- Virtual and in-person networking events for agency nurses.
- Peer-support circles focusing on wellbeing and resilience.
- Informal social events to simply connect and de-stress.
Most nurses in our network keep in touch with each other well beyond these events, creating strong, lasting professional and personal relationships.
CHC Training, Knowledge Sharing & Best Practice
While we are first and foremost a community network, sharing knowledge is at the heart of what we do. Our members regularly discuss and exchange insights on:
- Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility and assessments
- CHC documentation, evidence gathering, and checklists
- Complex care planning and person-centred support
- Safeguarding, capacity, and consent in CHC settings
- Working effectively with MDTs, ICBs, and commissioners
Through peer-led discussions, case reflections, and informal teaching, CHC nurses in the network build confidence, competence, and clarity about their role and responsibilities.
