Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network: The UK Community for Continuing Healthcare Nurses

Connecting, Supporting & Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community created specifically for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community settings across the UK.
We provide a trusted space to connect, share expertise, develop your career and access peer support from experienced CHC nurses who truly understand the pressures of frontline practice.

Our Mission: A Strong, Supportive Network for CHC Agency Nurses

Our mission is to bring together CHC agency nurses, nurse assessors, case managers and community nurses into one supportive, confidential network.
We help you build professional connections, reduce isolation, share knowledge and navigate the complexities of Continuing Healthcare work with confidence.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

A Professional Community Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK.
Members include CHC assessors, nurse reviewers, case managers, agency nurses working in CHC-funded packages, and nurses interested in moving into CHC roles.

A Relaxed but Professional Space to Connect and Grow

We understand the emotional, mental and professional demands of CHC nursing – because we are CHC nurses ourselves.
Our network offers a relaxed, non-judgemental environment where you can talk openly, ask questions and share experiences with colleagues who genuinely understand your day-to-day challenges.

Key Benefits of Joining CHC Nurses Agency Network

1. Build Valuable Professional Contacts

We make it easy for CHC agency nurses to connect with like-minded professionals across the UK.
Our invite-only social media groups and virtual meet-ups help you:

Expand your CHC professional network
Find peers working in similar roles or regions
Share tips about agency work, contracts and placements
Exchange knowledge on CHC assessments, reviews and case management

2. Access 24/7 Peer Support & Shared Experience

Only another nurse truly understands the reality of nursing – the workload, the responsibility and the daily emotional strain.
Within our confidential network, you can share professional issues 24-7-365, seek advice, debrief after difficult cases and receive encouragement from colleagues who genuinely get it.

3. Regular Events & Meet-Ups for CHC Nurses

We run regular online and in-person events tailored to CHC agency nurses, including:

Informal networking sessions
Discussion groups on CHC practice and policy
Peer-led Q&A sessions on CHC eligibility, DSTs and case management
Wellbeing and resilience sessions specifically for nurses

These events help you stay up to date with changes in Continuing Healthcare while building long-term professional and personal relationships.

4. Private, Confidential Social Media Groups

Our community is primarily hosted in private, invite-only social media groups to protect your privacy and confidentiality.
Within these groups, CHC nurses can discuss:

Complex CHC cases (anonymised and in line with confidentiality requirements)
Best practice for CHC assessments and reviews
Agency issues, pay rates and working conditions
Career development, training opportunities and role progression

We actively moderate these spaces to keep them safe, supportive and focused on professional growth.

5. Ongoing Professional Development Support

While we are primarily a network and community, we also support your Continuing Professional Development (CPD) by:

Highlighting relevant CHC workshops, webinars and training sessions
Sharing updates on CHC policies, framework changes and guidance
Encouraging reflective practice through peer discussion
Connecting you with other nurses at different stages of their CHC career

Many of our members use the network as a sounding board when moving into new CHC roles, preparing for interviews or exploring advanced practice opportunities.

Why Our Network Matters for CHC and Community Care

Reducing Isolation in Agency and Community Roles

Agency work and community-based CHC roles can be isolating, particularly when you are moving between placements or working independently.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you a consistent professional “home” – a place where you always have colleagues to lean on, regardless of where you are working.

Improving Practice Through Shared Knowledge

By openly and responsibly sharing anonymised experiences, challenges and solutions, our members help one another improve practice across CHC settings.
Collectively, we contribute to more consistent, person-centred, lawful and ethical delivery of Continuing Healthcare services.

Supporting Nurse Wellbeing and Resilience

Nursing in CHC involves complex decision-making, difficult conversations and significant responsibility.
Having a trusted peer network reduces stress, supports mental wellbeing and helps nurses feel heard, valued and less alone in their roles.
