CHC Nurses Agency Network: Connecting & Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
A professional community for CHC agency nurses, training, support, and career development
Introduction to CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing, and community-based care. We bring CHC nurses together to share knowledge, build connections, and develop skills in a supportive, confidential environment.
Our network is built by nurses, for nurses. We understand the demands of CHC assessments, case management, complex discharge planning, and community-based care, and we create a space where professionals can connect, learn, and support each other every day of the year.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Being an agency nurse in CHC can feel isolating at times. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a trusted space where you can openly discuss clinical, professional, and workplace challenges with peers who truly understand your role.
Our network gives you access to ongoing peer support, CHC-related learning opportunities, networking events, and up-to-date insights on NHS and Continuing Healthcare practice, helping you grow your expertise and confidence in your CHC nursing career.
Key Services & Support Offered by CHC Nurses Agency Network
A Relaxed, Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A safe space to connect, debrief, and share experiences
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a great place to relax, connect, and feel understood. We know that only another nurse can really appreciate the emotional pressure, complexity, and responsibility involved in CHC work and agency nursing.
Through our private online groups and regular meet-ups, you can talk openly about the realities of CHC assessments, funding disputes, MDT working, care home liaison, and community visits, in a professional and confidential setting.
Professional Networking & Peer Connections
Building long-term professional and personal relationships
Our network connects over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK. Many members build lasting friendships and professional partnerships that support them throughout their careers.
Whether you are new to CHC nursing or highly experienced, you can connect with peers who understand your work, share opportunities, and collaborate on best practice in Continuing Healthcare.
Regular CHC Events, Meet-Ups & Workshops
In-person and online sessions focused on CHC practice
We run regular events — including informal meet-ups, CHC-focused workshops, and online sessions — designed to bring our community together. These gatherings give you the chance to learn from others, ask questions, and share your own expertise.
Events cover practical CHC topics such as assessment practice, MDT documentation, decision support tools (DSTs), care planning, eligibility criteria, and working effectively with ICBs and local authorities.
Confidential 24/7 Peer Support via Private Groups
Invite-only online communities for CHC professionals
We maintain several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC nurses can ask questions, share professional issues, and seek support at any time. Our community is active 24-7-365, reflecting the reality of nursing work and on-call demands.
These groups are moderated to maintain professionalism, confidentiality, and respect, so you can contribute freely and safely.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Knowledge Sharing
Staying up to date with CHC guidance and practice
Continuing Healthcare is a complex and evolving area. Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, members regularly share updates, experiences, and resources related to CHC assessments, eligibility, fast-track, DSTs, reviews, and appeals.
This peer-led knowledge sharing helps you stay current with new guidance, local practice variations, and real-world solutions that support safe, compliant, person-centred care.
Support for Career Development in CHC Nursing
Growing your CHC skills, confidence, and opportunities
Our community is a valuable source of advice on career progression in CHC, including moving between roles such as CHC assessor, case manager, agency nurse, community nurse, and advanced practitioner posts.
Members freely share tips on interviews, documentation, clinical upskilling, revalidation, and navigating agency work, helping you shape a sustainable and rewarding CHC nursing career.
Sharing Best Practice in Person-Centred CHC Care
Improving outcomes for adults with complex needs
Many CHC nurses work with adults who have complex, long-term health conditions, neurological conditions, learning disabilities, end-of-life needs, and challenging behaviours. Our community shares examples of person-centred care planning, risk management, and multidisciplinary working across these areas.
By learning from each other, we aim to improve the quality, safety, and consistency of CHC-funded care across home care, care homes, and community settings.
