CHC Nurses Agency Network: Connecting & Empowering CHC Agency Nurses
The UK Community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, bringing together registered nurses who work in complex care and NHS CHC services across the country.
We provide a safe space to connect, share knowledge, access specialist CHC resources, and develop your nursing career alongside colleagues who truly understand the pressures and realities of agency nursing in Continuing Healthcare.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
As every nurse knows, only another nurse fully understands the emotional and professional demands of frontline care – and this is especially true in complex Continuing Healthcare roles.
Our CHC Agency Nurses Network offers a relaxed yet professional environment where you can connect with like-minded CHC nurses, build strong peer relationships, and feel supported throughout your agency career.
Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
We host active, confidential, invite-only social media groups for CHC agency nurses, providing space to ask questions, discuss practice, and share challenges 24/7/365.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, you are surrounded by peers who understand complex care funding, eligibility assessments, case management, and agency working.
A Place to Relax, Share & Be Understood
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is not just about professional development – it is also a place to unwind, be heard, and connect with people who “get it”.
Many nurses in our network have built lasting friendships, supporting one another through shifts, contracts, and career decisions, often remaining friends for many years.
CHC-Focused Learning, Training & Career Development
We help you grow your Continuing Healthcare nursing career with access to expert knowledge, practical advice, and peer-led learning opportunities.
Through our network, you can stay up to date with CHC best practice, enhance your understanding of CHC processes, and strengthen the specialist skills that make you stand out as a CHC agency nurse.
Specialist Support in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Our community regularly discusses key topics in Continuing Healthcare nursing, including eligibility assessments, CHC checklists, multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings, funding decisions, and appeals.
By engaging with experienced CHC nurses, you gain deeper insight into the NHS CHC framework, legal responsibilities, and how to advocate effectively for patients with complex needs.
Peer-Led Learning for Different CHC Roles
Whether you are a CHC assessor, case manager, fast-track nurse, or a complex care agency nurse working in the community, our network helps you share experiences and learn from colleagues in similar roles.
We encourage practical, real-world learning through discussion of anonymised case studies, reflective practice, and shared resources that support safe, person-centred CHC care.
Regular Events for CHC Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events and meetups to bring our community of nurses together online and, where possible, in person.
These events offer opportunities to relax, network, discuss key CHC issues, and hear from experienced CHC professionals and guest speakers.
Workshops, Meetups & Networking Sessions
Our events may include informal networking, topic-focused sessions on CHC assessments and complex care, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions with senior CHC nurses.
They provide a chance to build your confidence, share best practice, and connect with agencies and fellow professionals who work in CHC every day.
Stay Informed on CHC Policy & Practice
We keep our members updated on CHC policy changes, NHS guidance updates, and relevant case law that impact Continuing Healthcare practice.
By staying informed through our community, you can adapt quickly to changes, protect your professional practice, and continue to provide safe, compliant care in line with CHC standards.
Professional Networking & Career Support for Agency Nurses
Being an agency nurse in CHC can sometimes feel isolating, especially when you move between organisations and caseloads.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you build professional connections that support your career, open new opportunities, and give you a sense of belonging to a stable, national community.
Build Long-Term Professional Relationships
Many nurses within our network remain in touch for years, working together across different contracts, supporting each other with advice, and sharing knowledge about agencies, roles, and clinical scenarios.
This makes our network a valuable resource when you are considering new contracts, specialist roles, or career changes within the CHC and complex care sector.
A 24/7 Space for Professional Issues & Support
Our private social media groups are active around the clock, enabling you to raise professional concerns, seek guidance, and offer support to colleagues whenever you need it.
Conversations are moderated to remain respectful, confidential, and focused on improving practice, wellbeing, and outcomes for patients with complex health needs.
