CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Nurses
The UK’s dedicated network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses to connect, learn and grow
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based community and support hub created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses. We bring together agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, social care and independent sectors to share knowledge, build connections, and enhance professional practice.
Through our private social media groups, specialist events, peer support and expert resources, we help CHC nurses navigate complex assessments, improve patient outcomes and develop their careers in a safe, supportive environment.
A Professional Network Designed Specifically for CHC Agency Nurses
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of the job. This is even more true in Continuing Healthcare, where decisions carry major clinical, legal and financial implications.
Our network offers a space where around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals openly share experiences, ask questions, and support one another 24/7/365 via confidential, invite-only social media groups. Many members form lasting friendships and ongoing professional partnerships through the network.
Safe, Supportive Private Social Media Groups
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides private online communities where members can discuss cases (anonymously and ethically), raise professional issues, and seek advice from peers who truly understand CHC work.
Our groups are moderated to maintain confidentiality, professionalism and respect, giving nurses a safe place to debrief, problem-solve and share learning about CHC assessments, appeals, reviews and commissioning processes.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Professional Development
We support nurses to deepen their expertise in Continuing Healthcare eligibility, assessments, funding and case management. Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced clinician, our network helps you stay current and confident.
Our training and shared resources focus on real-world CHC practice, helping you manage complex cases, understand evolving policy and deliver person-centred care that is both clinically robust and legally defensible.
Specialist CHC Knowledge Sharing for Nurses
Through live events, discussion threads and shared documents, members explore topics such as Decision Support Tools (DSTs), checklists, Fast Track, appeal processes, reviews, CHC vs social care funding and more.
This collaborative approach helps agency nurses build stronger assessment skills, better documentation habits and clearer clinical rationales, supporting both patient advocacy and professional protection.
Events & Meet-Ups for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC Networking & Learning Events
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC nurses together. These include informal meet-ups, webinars, Q&A sessions and topic-based discussions led by experienced CHC clinicians.
Our events give members opportunities to share best practice, discuss challenging cases, hear about policy updates and expand their professional network across different agencies and regions.
Building Lasting Professional & Personal Connections
Many nurses within our network become long-term friends and trusted colleagues, staying in touch and supporting one another over many years and across different CHC contracts and roles.
By staying connected, CHC agency nurses gain practical day-to-day support, feel less isolated in their roles and access a rich pool of shared expertise whenever they need it.
Support for CHC Practice, Casework & Wellbeing
Peer Support with CHC Assessments & Case Management
Although we are not a regulatory body, our network functions as an informal peer-support system for CHC agency nurses. Members can discuss anonymised scenarios, share templates and compare approaches to assessments, reviews and multidisciplinary team meetings.
This collaborative environment strengthens clinical reasoning, documentation quality and confidence in handling complex CHC cases.
Looking After the Nurse Behind the Role
CHC agency work can be emotionally and mentally demanding. Our network recognises this and encourages open discussion about stress, burnout, workload and work–life balance in CHC roles.
By talking honestly within a supportive community, nurses can share coping strategies, encourage each other and reduce the sense of isolation that often comes with independent and agency-based work.
