CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for Agency Nurses in the UK
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses working across the UK. Our mission is to bring together experienced and aspiring CHC nurses in a safe, confidential space where you can connect, learn, de‑stress, and grow your professional career.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the complexity, responsibility, and daily pressures of CHC nursing. That’s why we have built a supportive peer network where agency nurses can talk openly, share challenges, exchange opportunities, and access up‑to‑date CHC knowledge 24/7.
Whether you are new to CHC, an experienced case manager, or an agency nurse looking to build your CHC portfolio, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to support your journey.

4. 24/7 Access to Private, Confidential Social Media Groups
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are our private social media groups, which are confidential, invite-only spaces exclusively for CHC agency nurses.

Special Focus: Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Support & Knowledge Sharing
Specialist Community for CHC Nursing Practice
CHC nursing requires a detailed understanding of NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, assessments, funding, and complex care planning. Our network brings together nurses who:
- Complete CHC checklists, DSTs and reviews
- Work with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and local authorities
- Support individuals with complex needs at home, in the community, or in care homes
- Navigate fast-track CHC, appeals, and panel processes
By connecting with peers who work in similar CHC environments, you gain access to real-world experience, problem-solving, and peer learning that you won’t find in standard training alone.
Sharing Best Practice in CHC Assessments & Case Management
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, we encourage members to share practical approaches and best practice related to:
- CHC assessments and documentation
- Evidence gathering and clinical record-keeping
- Person-centred care and complex care planning
- Effective multi‑disciplinary team working in CHC
- Managing workload and boundaries as an agency CHC nurse
This collaborative learning environment keeps you up to date and confident in your CHC practice, while also supporting your professional revalidation and ongoing development.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Community Built by Nurses, for Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network has grown organically from the needs of agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare. We know the reality of:
- Moving between different teams, ICBs, and care settings
- Managing complex caseloads while maintaining work-life balance
- Feeling isolated when working independently as an agency professional
Our community was created to address these challenges and to give CHC nurses a trusted, friendly space where they can belong, connect, and grow.
Long-Term Friendships & Professional Support
Many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network have been part of our community for years, building strong friendships and professional alliances. It’s common for nurses in the network to:
- Stay in touch regularly between shifts and contracts
- Refer each other for roles and opportunities
- Support one another through exams, appraisals, and revalidation
- Meet up in person at events and informal gatherings
When you join the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you’re not just joining a group – you’re becoming part of an ongoing, supportive professional community.
