CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Dedicated UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK.
We provide a safe, friendly and professional space for nurses to connect, share knowledge, and access practical support, resources and training tailored to the complex world of CHC nursing.
Only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and professional demands of frontline care.
Our network brings together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who support one another, collaborate on complex cases and build long‑term professional and personal relationships.
Whether you are new to CHC agency work or an experienced Continuing Healthcare nurse, the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you develop your career, grow your confidence and feel less isolated in your day‑to‑day practice.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an independent, invite‑only community for nurses working in or interested in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC).
We focus on peer support, shared learning, professional development and creating a relaxed, supportive environment where you can be honest about the realities of agency nursing.
Members engage through confidential private social media groups, live and online events, and regular informal discussions.
Our goal is to make agency nursing in CHC easier, safer and more rewarding by ensuring nurses always have somewhere to turn for advice, encouragement and expert insight.
Key Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
1. Professional Networking with CHC Agency Nursing Experts
The network gives you direct access to a large community of like‑minded CHC agency nurses who understand your pressures, caseloads and working environments.
You can ask questions, share best practice, discuss rates and contracts, and build relationships that lead to new opportunities and referrals.
Many of our members have formed long‑standing friendships and trusted professional partnerships that have helped them progress into specialist CHC roles, clinical leadership and consultancy.
2. A Safe Space to Talk About Real‑Life Nursing Challenges
Within our confidential, invite‑only social media groups, nurses openly share professional issues 24‑7‑365, from ethical dilemmas and documentation queries to dealing with burnout, rota pressures and difficult conversations with families.
This supportive environment allows you to debrief, reflect and learn in a way that is hard to achieve in busy care settings, helping you maintain your resilience, professionalism and wellbeing.
3. Regular Events, Meet‑Ups and Online Sessions
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together.
These include informal meet‑ups, Q&A sessions, case‑based discussions, webinars and networking events focused on Continuing Healthcare practice and agency work.
Events are designed to be relaxed but purposeful, giving you the chance to learn, connect and unwind with nurses who understand exactly what you do every day.
Supporting Your Career in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Specialist Knowledge‑Sharing in CHC Practice
CHC is a complex area involving eligibility assessments, MDT working, care planning and funding decisions.
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, members regularly share tips, templates, guidance and real‑world experiences to help each other stay confident and up to date.
Discussions often cover topics such as Decision Support Tools (DSTs), documentation standards, appeals and reviews, person‑centred care, capacity and consent, safeguarding, and working effectively with CCGs/ICBs and local authorities.
Informal CPD and Professional Development Support
While we are first and foremost a community, we are also committed to supporting ongoing CPD and revalidation.
Through shared articles, case reflections, suggested reading and informal learning sessions, members can gather ideas and evidence for professional portfolios and NMC revalidation.
Our community‑driven approach helps you stay current, competent and confident in your CHC agency role without feeling overwhelmed by formal training demands.
A Relaxed, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses
A Community That Understands the Realities of Agency Work
As any nurse will know, only another nurse will truly understand how much hard work goes into nursing and the daily stress that comes with the job – especially in agency and CHC environments.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is intentionally relaxed and non‑judgemental.
You can talk honestly about work pressures, shift patterns, documentation expectations, and the emotional toll of complex CHC cases, knowing you are among peers who genuinely understand.
Building Friendships and Long‑Term Connections
Many nurses who join our network not only develop their careers but also build lasting friendships.
Members often stay in touch for years, support each other through role changes, and celebrate both professional and personal milestones together.
This sense of community and belonging is what makes the CHC Nurses Agency Network a unique space in the CHC and agency nursing landscape.
How Our Private Social Media Groups Work
Confidential, Invite‑Only Online Communities
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals is connected through several confidential, invite‑only social media groups.
These online spaces are moderated to remain professional, supportive and respectful at all times.
Members use the groups to:
- Ask clinical and professional questions related to CHC and agency work.
- Share policies, guidance, tools and templates that support best practice.
- Discuss shift patterns, agencies, pay and working conditions.
- Offer and receive emotional support during challenging periods.
- Stay informed about upcoming events, webinars and meet‑ups.
