CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Training & Peer Support
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and support platform for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK.
We bring together experienced registered nurses working in CHC to share expertise, access tailored training, keep up to date with policy changes,
and build professional connections that make agency nursing safer, easier, and more rewarding.
Our confidential invite-only network gives CHC agency nurses a safe space to discuss complex cases, explore career options,
and stay informed on best practice in NHS Continuing Healthcare, CCG/ICB processes, and multidisciplinary working.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you grow your skills, confidence, and professional profile.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Dedicated Community for Continuing Healthcare Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, peer-led community built specifically for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare and related agency roles.
We understand that only another CHC nurse truly knows the pressure of complex assessments, panel meetings, funding challenges, and the emotional toll of the role.
Our network offers a place to relax, debrief, and be understood by colleagues who do what you do every day.
With a core membership of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we stay connected 24-7-365 through confidential social media groups,
regular virtual meetups, and in-person events. Many members become long-term friends and trusted professional contacts,
supporting each other through both challenges and successes in their CHC careers.
Our Core Services & Support for CHC Agency Nurses

We connect CHC agency nurses from across the country, enabling you to build a strong professional network in Continuing Healthcare.
Members regularly share experiences, discuss real-life CHC cases, and offer practical advice on working with ICBs, local authorities, and multidisciplinary teams.
This support helps you feel less isolated and more confident in complex roles.

Always-On Support for CHC Agency Nursing Issues
Our invite-only social media groups provide a safe, moderated, and confidential online space where CHC nurses can raise professional issues at any time.

you can tap into the collective knowledge of hundreds of experienced CHC colleagues whenever you need it.
Events, Meetups & CHC Networking Opportunities
Regular Online & In-Person Events for CHC Nurses
We run regular events designed to bring our community of CHC nurses together, including online Q&A sessions, case discussion forums,

These events are designed to help you keep up with changes in CHC policy, improve your clinical and documentation skills,
and make lasting connections with other agency nurses and CHC professionals.

Our community highlights useful courses, guidance, and updates to ensure you remain current with national Continuing Healthcare frameworks and best practice.
Support with Complex CHC Cases & Multidisciplinary Working
Real-World Insight from Experienced CHC Agency Nurses
Our members frequently discuss complex CHC scenarios, challenging behaviour, end-of-life care, and interface issues between health and social care.
Learning from nurses who have managed similar cases gives you practical strategies for panel presentations, defensible documentation, and effective advocacy for patients and families,
while maintaining professional boundaries and regulatory compliance.
