CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Connecting and Supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care across the UK. Our network provides a safe space to connect, share experiences, access learning, and build confidence in all aspects of CHC practice.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the demands, responsibility, and emotional pressure of our work. The CHC Nurses Agency Network was created to bring CHC agency nurses together, reduce professional isolation, and provide ongoing peer support, expert knowledge sharing, and practical resources tailored to CHC and community practice.
We currently support a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who regularly engage through our confidential, invite-only social media groups and online events. Many nurses in our community form long-lasting friendships and professional partnerships that continue for years.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just another nursing group – it is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare agency nurses looking to grow their knowledge, expand their network, and improve outcomes for adults and older people with complex health needs.
We focus on the real challenges CHC nurses face every day: eligibility assessments, fast-track decisions, community placements, disputes, legal and policy changes, case management, and multi-agency working. Through our network, nurses can relax, ask questions, and discuss professional issues 24/7/365 with colleagues who truly understand CHC practice.
Core Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
A Relaxed, Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses
Our private groups offer a calm, non-judgemental environment where CHC nurses can unwind, share worries, celebrate wins, and talk openly about the realities of agency work, CHC assessments, and complex cases.
Because our members are all CHC or community-focused nurses, discussion is highly relevant, practical, and grounded in real-world experience.
Professional Networking & Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you build valuable professional connections with CHC assessors, case managers, community nurses, and other agency professionals across the UK.
Many of our members collaborate on opportunities, share best practice, give each other interview tips, and offer professional references or informal mentoring to support each other’s careers.
Career Development & Knowledge Building
Our community helps you develop your CHC expertise, confidence, and career prospects by sharing training opportunities, policy updates, and practice guidance relevant to agency nurses.
We encourage reflective practice, clinical discussion, and shared learning around areas such as CHC eligibility, Decision Support Tools, personal health budgets, community DOLS, and safeguarding in the community.
Events, Training & Online Community Spaces
Regular Events for CHC Agency Nurses
We run regular online and in-person events designed specifically for CHC and community nurses, including informal meetups, webinars, Q&A sessions, and themed discussion groups.
These events are a chance to relax, network, and discuss current issues in Continuing Healthcare, such as changes to the National Framework, funding disputes, and best practice in community placements.
Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
Our core activity takes place through confidential, invite-only social media groups, where around 500 CHC agency nurses stay in touch daily.
Members use these spaces to ask clinical questions, share resources, talk through complex CHC cases, and get emotional support from peers who understand the pressures of the job.
24/7 Peer Discussion and Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, reflecting the realities of shift work and agency nursing.
Whether you are coming off a long night shift or preparing for a difficult CHC assessment, there is always someone in the network who can listen, advise, or simply understand.
Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community Practice
Support Around CHC Assessments & Eligibility
Members regularly share insights and best practice around CHC assessments, reviews, and appeals, helping each other navigate the complexities of the National Framework and improve decision-making.
We discuss real scenarios (with confidentiality maintained), explore how to evidence primary health needs, and support each other to provide person-centred, lawful, and robust CHC assessments.
Community DOLS & Legal Framework Awareness
Our network also supports nurses involved in Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications and wider legal frameworks impacting community care.
We share information on policy changes, case law, and practical documentation tips to help nurses feel more confident and compliant in their day-to-day roles.
Best Practice in Person-Centred Community Care
For nurses working with adults with complex health needs, dementia, or learning disabilities in community settings, our network provides a space to talk about person-centred care, risk management, and multidisciplinary working.
Members regularly exchange templates, tools, and strategies for improving quality of life, supporting independence, and coordinating effective community support around individuals and families.
