CHC Nurses Agency Network – Community, Training & Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community settings, offering a supportive professional community, expert-led training, and opportunities to share knowledge and best practice.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the unique pressures of CHC work – complex assessments, challenging caseloads, and changing regulations – and provides a safe space to connect, learn, and grow your career.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invitation-only community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share advice, resources and support 24/7 via confidential social media groups and regular online and in-person events.
Whether you are an experienced CHC nurse or just starting out in Continuing Healthcare, our network helps you build confidence, stay up to date with CHC policies, and make valuable professional contacts across the UK.
Our Core Areas of Support for CHC Agency Nurses
Professional Community & Peer Support
Connect with Nurses Who Understand CHC Work
Only another nurse truly understands the realities of nursing, and this is even more true in the specialised world of Continuing Healthcare. Our network connects you with peers who share the same pressures, caseloads, and regulatory challenges.
Members regularly discuss real-world CHC issues, share practical tips on managing complex cases, and support each other through the day-to-day demands of agency nursing.
Private Social Media Groups (24/7 Access)
Confidential, Invite-Only Online Communities
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses can ask questions, share experiences, and access peer support around the clock.
From discussing CHC eligibility criteria to navigating challenging MDTs and appeal processes, our private groups make it easy to get quick, informed responses from nurses who do similar work every day.
Regular CHC Events, Meet-Ups & Webinars
Stay Current with CHC Policy, Practice and Networking
We run regular CHC-focused events including online webinars, case-discussion sessions, Q&A panels and informal meet-ups to help you stay updated on the latest NHS CHC guidance, policies and best practice.
These events are an ideal opportunity to learn from experienced CHC practitioners, ask questions in a supportive environment, and build long-term professional relationships and friendships.
Knowledge Sharing & Informal Mentoring
Learn from Experienced CHC Nurses
Within our core network, many senior CHC nurses naturally take on an informal mentoring role, supporting newer colleagues with documentation, assessments, and system navigation.
Members openly share templates, learning resources, and real-life examples to help each other improve assessment quality, report writing, and case presentation in CHC settings.
Career Development for CHC Agency Nurses
Grow Your Skills, Confidence and Opportunities
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you develop your professional career in CHC by giving you access to insights on roles, pay rates, agency work patterns, and how to position your skills in the market.
Through networking and shared experience, many members discover new contract opportunities, clinical lead roles, and specialist CHC positions they may not otherwise hear about.
Specialist Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Support Around CHC Assessments & Reviews
Practical Help with Day-to-Day CHC Work
Agency nurses in CHC roles frequently manage checklists, full assessments, MDTs, reviews and appeals; our members share practical strategies, documentation tips and time-management approaches tailored to these tasks.
Discussion topics often include applying the National Framework, scoring domains accurately, gathering evidence, and presenting robust rationales.
Community DOL & Legal Framework Awareness
Understand Linked Legal and Ethical Issues
Many CHC agency roles involve awareness of Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL), mental capacity, and safeguarding considerations, and our network provides a space to discuss these challenging areas in a safe, non-judgemental way.
By learning from others’ experiences, you can strengthen your understanding of legal responsibilities, documentation standards and ethical practice in CHC work.
