CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Support & Professional Development
A Dedicated UK Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community designed exclusively for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK.
We bring together agency nurses working in CHC to share knowledge, build professional connections, and access ongoing support in a safe, understanding environment where nurses truly understand nurses.
Our network helps you navigate the day-to-day pressures of nursing, expand your CHC expertise, and develop your career while feeling supported, valued, and connected.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Safe, Supportive Community for CHC Nurses
Only another nurse understands the emotional, physical, and professional demands of agency nursing in Continuing Healthcare.
Our private, invite-only social media groups give you a confidential space to talk openly, share experiences, ask questions, and get honest advice from colleagues who know exactly what you are going through.
Build Lasting Professional & Personal Connections
We host regular online and in-person events to bring CHC agency nurses together across the UK.
Many nurses in our core network of around 500 CHC agency professionals stay in touch long term, forming friendships and professional relationships that last for years and support their careers in countless ways.
24/7 Peer Support, 365 Days a Year
Our confidential groups are active 24-7-365, so you are never alone – whether you are dealing with a complex CHC case, a difficult shift, or simply need to talk to someone who understands.
Members regularly share real-world advice, practical resources, and emotional support to help make agency nursing life easier and more sustainable.
Professional Growth for CHC Agency Nurses
Develop Your CHC Knowledge & Skills
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a social space – it is a professional hub where you can deepen your expertise in NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Our community actively discusses topics such as CHC eligibility, assessments, care planning, funding, and case management, helping you stay confident and informed in your daily practice.
Learn from Real Cases & Lived Experience
Members openly share case examples, practical tips, and lessons learned from working in CHC across different regions, CCGs/ICBs, and care settings.
This peer-to-peer learning gives you a grounded view of how CHC works in practice, not just on paper, supporting both your competence and confidence at work.
Stay Up to Date with CHC Changes & Best Practice
Our network helps you stay informed about policy changes, local variations in CHC practice, and evolving clinical expectations that affect CHC agency nurses.
By staying connected, you reduce the risk of working in isolation and keep your knowledge aligned with current CHC guidance and professional standards.
Events, Networking & Continuing Healthcare Insights
Regular CHC-Focused Events for Agency Nurses
We run regular events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together, both virtually and face-to-face where possible.
Events may include informal meet-ups, networking sessions, discussions about CHC eligibility and funding, and shared learning around best practice in CHC nursing.
Connect Through Private Social Media Groups
New members are welcomed into our confidential, invite-only social media groups, where you can engage at your own pace and comfort level.
These groups are the heart of our community, providing a continuous stream of conversation, support, and professional insight specifically tailored to CHC agency work.
Share Professional Issues in Complete Confidence
Our network is built on trust, confidentiality, and respect, making it a safe place to discuss sensitive professional issues.
Whether you are dealing with CHC assessments, complex family dynamics, multi-agency working, or workplace challenges, you can share concerns and get feedback from colleagues who truly understand the CHC environment.
Support for CHC Case Management & Person-Centred Care
Practical Support with CHC Cases
Within our network, nurses regularly exchange ideas on managing complex CHC cases, from eligibility checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs) to reviews and appeals.
This shared expertise helps you handle challenging cases more confidently and deliver safe, robust, and defensible CHC nursing practice.
Championing Person-Centred CHC Nursing
We encourage and support a person-centred approach to CHC, focusing on dignity, independence, and quality of life for individuals with complex, long-term health needs.
Discussions in the network look at how to balance clinical requirements, legal frameworks, and the wishes of individuals and families in everyday CHC nursing practice.
