CHC Nurses Agency Network – Community, Training & Support for CHC Nurses
A Supportive Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Nurse Community for Professional Growth
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We bring CHC nurses together to share knowledge, develop professionally, and support one another through the realities of agency and community nursing. Our network is designed to make your working life easier, more connected, and more rewarding.
Every nurse knows that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities, and daily challenges of delivering safe, person-centred care. Our network provides a trusted space where CHC agency nurses can connect, learn, and grow together.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invitation-only network of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK. We connect nurses who work in:
- Continuing Healthcare (CHC) assessments and reviews
- Complex care and long-term conditions
- Community and domiciliary care
- CQC-regulated services and care providers
- Case management and care coordination
Through our confidential online groups and in-person events, members share real-world experiences, ask questions, and access practical support 24/7.
A Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses
As CHC agency nurses, we face unique challenges – from navigating CHC eligibility and funding to managing complex caseloads, working across multiple providers, and staying updated with the latest NHS and CQC requirements.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you a safe, professional space to:
- Discuss clinical and professional issues confidentially
- Seek peer advice on CHC assessments, reviews, and funding decisions
- Share best practice around documentation and compliance
- Explore flexible agency work opportunities and career options
- Connect with colleagues who truly understand CHC work
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Knowledge, Training & Resources
We support CHC nurses to stay current, confident, and compliant in a fast-changing healthcare environment. Our focus is on real-world, practice-based learning tailored to CHC and complex care.
CHC-Focused Learning & Peer Support
Within the network, nurses routinely share information and experience related to:
- NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility and the National Framework
- Completing the Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST)
- Care planning for complex, high-acuity patients
- Multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working and CHC reviews
- Legal and ethical considerations in CHC and funding decisions
- Documentation standards and evidence gathering
We encourage open, respectful discussion so members can learn from each other’s cases, questions, and experiences.
Practical Guidance on Compliance & CQC Expectations
CHC agency nurses often work within CQC-regulated services and NHS partners, where quality, safety, and regulatory compliance are critical. Through the network, members share:
- Tips for preparing for CQC visits and audits
- Examples of good documentation and care records
- Insights on safeguarding, risk management, and governance
- Updates on policy changes affecting CHC and complex care
This shared insight helps CHC nurses deliver safe, effective, and compliant care wherever they are placed.
Events, Networking & Professional Connections
Our network is not just online – we also bring CHC agency nurses together in person and virtually to build stronger, lasting professional relationships.
Regular Events to Bring CHC Nurses Together
We run regular events throughout the year to support both professional development and wellbeing, including:
- Online meetups and peer support sessions
- Informal discussion groups around CHC practice issues
- Themed sessions on documentation, assessments, and complex care
- Networking opportunities with other CHC agency nurses
Many nurses in our network build strong, long-term friendships and remain connected for years, supporting each other through professional changes and new roles.
A Relaxed, Supportive Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is intentionally a relaxed and supportive space. While we discuss serious professional topics, we also recognise the importance of:
- Looking after nurse wellbeing and preventing burnout
- Having somewhere safe to debrief and share experiences
- Celebrating achievements and milestones
- Finding balance between agency work and personal life
Members often tell us that the network makes them feel less isolated in their work and more confident in their professional practice.

We recognise that CHC nursing can be emotionally and professionally demanding. Our network supports you by:
- Offering a community that understands CHC pressures
- Providing informal mentoring from more experienced CHC nurses
