CHC Nurses Agency Network – Professional Support for UK CHC Nurses
A Dedicated UK Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing, and community-based complex care across the UK.
We bring together experienced CHC nurses, independent practitioners, and agency professionals to share knowledge, reduce isolation, and provide practical support in one trusted network.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Unlike a traditional nursing agency, the CHC Nurses Agency Network focuses on connection, collaboration, and career development for nurses already working – or looking to work – within the CHC arena.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we operate through confidential invite-only social media groups, online communities, and regular events designed to support you both professionally and personally.
A Safe Space to Connect, Relax and Be Understood
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the workload, emotional demands, and daily pressures of practice – especially in Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Our network gives you a place to decompress, share experiences, ask questions, and talk openly with other CHC nurses who understand your world, without judgment.

Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, you can both learn from and contribute to a growing pool of real-world, practice-based knowledge.
Events, Meetups and Networking for CHC Nurses
We run regular CHC-focused events that bring our community together in a relaxed yet professional environment.
CHC Community Events and Social Meetups
Our events range from informal social gatherings to structured sessions that cover topics relevant to CHC agency nurses.
These provide the chance to network, share experiences, build friendships, and strengthen your professional support system.
Educational Sessions and CHC Discussions
We also host occasional online discussions, Q&A sessions, and themed events focused on CHC practice, such as:
- Current challenges in CHC assessments and commissioning
- Working with CCGs/ICBs, local authorities and MDT teams
- Documentation, defensible record-keeping and audit readiness
- Managing professional boundaries and safeguarding in community CHC roles
These sessions are driven by the needs and interests of our members, making them highly relevant and practical.
