CHC Nurses Agency Network: Supporting & Connecting CHC Nurses Across the UK
A Professional Community for CHC Nurses, By CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community created to support nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and community-based roles.
We bring CHC agency nurses together to share knowledge, build professional contacts, access specialist CHC training, and find genuine peer support from colleagues who understand the realities of frontline nursing.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional networking and support hub for agency nurses involved in CHC assessments, reviews, discharge planning, and complex care coordination.
Our core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular online and in-person events.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and administrative demands of nursing.
Our network provides a safe space to connect, debrief, learn, and grow – helping CHC nurses feel less isolated and more supported in their roles.
What We Offer CHC Agency Nurses
A Relaxed Space to Connect with Like‑Minded CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a welcoming, relaxed community where CHC and agency nurses can talk openly about work, share experiences and support each other.
Many of our members build long-term friendships, offering both professional guidance and personal understanding through the daily challenges of nursing.
Private & Confidential Social Media Groups
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where our CHC nursing community connects 24/7, 365 days a year.
These groups are used to:
- Discuss complex CHC cases and share practical solutions (without breaching confidentiality)
- Ask questions about CHC assessments, DSTs, eligibility and funding
- Share updates on national CHC guidance and policy changes
- Talk honestly about the pressures of agency life and workload
- Offer each other encouragement, mentoring and peer support
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Online Sessions
We run regular online and in-person events to keep CHC nurses connected and informed.
Our events include:
- Continuing Healthcare (CHC) themed webinars and Q&A sessions
- Peer-led case discussion groups and reflective practice sessions
- Networking meet-ups for CHC and community agency nurses
- Workshops on documentation, evidence gathering and CHC reviews
These events help agency nurses stay up-to-date with CHC processes, develop confidence and connect with colleagues working in similar roles across the UK.
Professional Development & CHC Knowledge Sharing
A core aim of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is to support continuous professional development (CPD) for CHC and complex care nurses.
Through our network, members can:
- Share best practice in CHC assessments, MDTs and decision-making
- Discuss approaches to complex needs, risk management and care planning
- Learn from nurses with extensive CHC and community experience
- Gain practical tips on navigating CHC funding and eligibility criteria
By learning together, CHC agency nurses are better equipped to advocate for patients, uphold quality standards, and manage the pressures of working across multiple organisations.
