CHC Nurses Agency Network | Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A dedicated UK-wide network for CHC agency nurses to connect, learn, and thrive together
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. We bring CHC professionals together to share knowledge, build connections, access expert support, and make agency nursing life easier and more rewarding. Through our private online groups, regular events, and professional development opportunities, we support nurses working in CHC settings to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care with confidence.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the realities of agency work in CHC – the pressures, the complexity, and the emotional demands. Our network provides a safe, confidential place to talk openly, seek advice, share experiences, and feel supported 24/7 by colleagues who understand exactly what you do.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals from across the UK. Our members include registered nurses, case managers, complex care nurses, and other professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community CHC, and complex care packages.
Our aim is to create a relaxed, supportive and professional environment where CHC agency nurses can:
- Connect with like-minded CHC nursing professionals
- Discuss real-world CHC clinical and practice challenges
- Stay up to date with CHC frameworks, policies and best practice
- Access peer support, informal mentoring and advice
- Develop their CHC career and professional profile
- Find networking and collaboration opportunities with other agency nurses
Key Features of the CHC Nurses Agency Network
Private Social Media Groups for CHC Agency Nurses
We run several confidential, invite-only social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses. These secure online spaces are where our core network members connect, share updates, ask questions, and support each other every day.
Within these groups you can:
- Discuss CHC clinical scenarios and care planning approaches
- Ask for advice on CHC assessments, DSTs, and eligibility
- Share experiences of agency work, placements, and caseloads
- Receive informal peer support during challenging shifts or cases
- Exchange resources, templates and practical tools for CHC practice
Regular Events for Networking, Learning & Community
We organise regular online and in-person events that bring our community of CHC agency nurses together. These are designed to be relaxed yet professional, helping you expand your network while learning from experienced peers.
Our events include:
- CHC-focused webinars and discussion sessions
- Informal meet-ups and networking events
- Peer-led learning sessions and case reviews
- Workshops on professional development for agency nurses
Many of our members form long-term friendships and ongoing professional relationships through these events, staying in touch long after the sessions end.
24/7 Professional Support and Peer Discussion
Nursing does not stop at 5pm – and neither does our support. Our network facilitates 24-7-365 communication between CHC agency nurses through our social media channels.
Members can:
- Post clinical or professional queries at any time of day
- Receive fast, peer-based feedback from others working in CHC
- Feel less isolated when working night shifts or lone community roles
- Share wins, challenges, and reflections in a supportive space
This always-on peer support helps CHC agency nurses feel part of a team, even when working independently across different organisations and locations.
Professional Development, CHC Updates & Shared Learning
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a social space – it is a place to grow your knowledge and stay current in CHC practice. We actively encourage professional debate, shared learning and critical reflection.
Through our network you can:
- Keep up to date with Continuing Healthcare policy and framework changes
- Discuss CHC Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and eligibility criteria
- Explore best practice in complex care, community DOLs and risk management
- Share and access learning resources recommended by experienced CHC nurses
- Gain insight into working with different CHC teams and providers across the UK
Support for Work–Life Balance and Wellbeing
We recognise the emotional load that comes with complex CHC caseloads, fast-paced agency work, and challenging family dynamics. Our network encourages open, honest conversation about stress, burnout, boundaries and wellbeing.
Within our community, agency nurses can:
- Talk to people who genuinely understand the pressure of CHC work
- Share strategies for managing workload and emotional impact
- Access peer reassurance and encouragement during difficult times
- Feel part of a trusted, respectful professional community
