CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Partner in CHC Nursing Support, Training and Professional Networking

Connecting, Supporting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and support hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and related community settings in the UK. We bring together CHC agency nurses, provide expert-led training, share best practice, and offer a safe, supportive space to connect with colleagues who truly understand the pressures and complexities of CHC nursing.

Whether you are an experienced CHC nurse, new to Continuing Healthcare, or looking to expand your agency work into CHC, our network is designed to help you develop professionally, feel supported, and stay up to date with the latest CHC guidance and practice.

Who We Are: About CHC Nurses Agency Network

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional network created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses. Our members include agency nurses, case managers, assessors and other professionals involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community nursing and complex care in the community.

We provide a confidential, invite-only space where CHC professionals can connect, share real-world challenges, access peer support and receive practical advice on CHC processes, assessments, funding decisions and care planning. Our core community consists of around 500 active CHC agency nursing professionals who contribute daily to shared learning and support.

What We Do: Core Services and Support

CHC Nursing Community and Peer Support

At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is our strong, supportive community. We understand that CHC nursing can be demanding, isolating and fast-changing – and that only another nurse truly understands the realities of the role.

Through our private social media groups and online forums, members can discuss professional issues 24/7/365, seek guidance on complex CHC cases, share documentation tips and templates, and access emotional support from peers who have been there themselves.

Training and Professional Development for CHC Nurses

We offer specialist training and development opportunities focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare and community-based complex care. Our sessions support nurses in understanding CHC eligibility, assessments, funding pathways, community DOLs, and best practice in person-centred care planning.

Whether you are newly entering CHC, transitioning from ward-based roles, or refreshing your knowledge, our training is designed to boost confidence, clarify the National Framework, and help you deliver safe, high-quality care that stands up to scrutiny.

Events, Workshops and Networking Opportunities

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events to bring our community together. These include webinars, Q&A sessions, peer case discussions, networking meetups and topic-specific workshops linked to CHC practice and policy updates.

Our events offer a relaxed, informal space to learn, share experiences and build lasting professional relationships. Many nurses who meet through our network go on to form strong friendships and continue to support each other for years.

Specialist Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Practice

Staying Up to Date with CHC Policy and Best Practice

Helping CHC Agency Nurses Navigate a Complex Landscape

NHS Continuing Healthcare is a complex, rapidly evolving area that demands up-to-date knowledge of legislation, guidance and local processes. Our network helps CHC nurses stay current with changes to the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, local ICB processes, and community DOL arrangements.

We share updates, practical interpretations, case examples and resources that make complex guidance more accessible, so nurses can apply it safely and consistently in frontline practice.

Support with CHC Assessments, Reviews and Case Management

Practical, Peer-Led Guidance from Experienced CHC Nurses

Many of our members are involved in CHC checklist assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), case reviews and complex discharge planning. Through our private groups, CHC nurses can discuss anonymised scenarios, documentation approaches and multidisciplinary working challenges.

This peer-to-peer learning helps nurses refine their assessment skills, improve the quality of their recordings, and feel more confident when working with ICBs, local authorities, families and other agencies.

Supporting Agency Nurses’ Well-Being and Work–Life Balance

A Safe Space to Talk About the Realities of CHC Nursing

Because Only Another Nurse Truly Understands

Agency nursing in CHC can be stressful, emotionally draining and administratively heavy. Our members use the network as a safe, confidential environment to talk about burnout, workload, boundaries, managing expectations and maintaining professional resilience.

By sharing experiences honestly and without judgement, CHC Nurses Agency Network helps members feel less isolated and more empowered to manage the demands of CHC work in a healthier, more sustainable way.

Building Long-Term Professional Relationships and Friendships

Community That Lasts Beyond a Single Contract

Many CHC agency nurses move regularly between contracts, teams and settings. Our network provides continuity – a professional “home base” where you keep in touch with colleagues, build your reputation and maintain a consistent support system.

Members often report that contacts made through CHC Nurses Agency Network lead to future work opportunities, collaborative projects and long-standing friendships across the UK.

Private Social Media Groups and 24/7 Professional Conversation

Confidential, Invite-Only Online Spaces

Professional Discussion, Shared Resources and Real-Time Support

We host several closed, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses can connect any time of the day or night. These groups are moderated to maintain confidentiality, professionalism and respect.

Within these spaces, members share learning materials, signpost to guidance, ask case-based questions, discuss documentation challenges and support each other with the day-to-day realities of CHC practice in the community.

Open Sharing of Professional Issues All Year Round

Knowledge Exchange 24-7-365

Our core network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals actively engages throughout the year. Because we operate continuously, there is almost always someone online who can respond, advise or simply listen.

This ongoing dialogue makes the CHC Nurses Agency Network a living, evolving resource that reflects real-world CHC practice, not just theory.
