CHC Nurses Agency Network: Empowering Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers in the UK
A Specialist CHC Network for Agency Nurses, Community & Professional Development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK. We bring together experienced professionals who work in CHC, complex care and community-based nursing to share knowledge, support each other and enhance standards of care.
Our network focuses on professional development, peer support, training and consultancy tailored to the realities of agency nursing. As nurses ourselves, we understand the pressures, isolation and complexity that can come with CHC caseloads and agency work – and we exist to make your professional life easier, more connected and more informed.
Through regular events, private social media groups and specialist learning opportunities, we help nurses navigate complex funding pathways, CHC assessments, case management and CQC expectations while building lasting professional and personal relationships.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is first and foremost a community of around 500 CHC and agency nursing professionals who share a passion for excellent patient outcomes and mutual support. Many of our members have worked together for years and remain friends and colleagues long after individual contracts end.
We provide a safe, confidential space where nurses can discuss real-world issues 24/7/365, seek advice on complex cases, share opportunities and develop their careers within the CHC and complex care arena.
New members are always welcome, and we invite CHC and agency nurses to join our private invite-only social media groups, online forums and in-person events to connect, learn and grow together.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Events for UK Nurses
Specialist CHC Training for Agency & Community Nurses
Build Confidence in CHC Assessment, Eligibility & Funding
Our network offers access to specialist CHC training designed for nurses working in agency, community, domiciliary and complex care roles. We focus on the practical skills needed to navigate NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, assessments, decision support tools and funding pathways.
Training sessions are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand the realities of front-line work, helping you interpret national frameworks, document clinical evidence effectively and advocate for patients in multi-agency settings.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner seeking an update, our training is tailored to your level, ensuring you feel confident in your decision-making and able to align with current best practice and legal expectations.
Practical, Case-Based Workshops & Interactive Learning
We run interactive workshops, live webinars and case-based learning sessions that mirror real-world CHC scenarios. Members can bring anonymised cases to discuss, ask questions, and explore different approaches to assessment, care planning and multi-disciplinary working.
These sessions promote active learning and peer support, enabling nurses to refine their clinical reasoning, documentation and communication when working on complex CHC or joint-funded cases.
CHC Events, Networking & Peer Support
Regular Meet-Ups, CPD Events & Community Get-Togethers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts regular professional and social events to bring our community together, both online and in person. These include CPD-accredited sessions, peer discussion groups, Q&A clinics, and informal meet-ups.
Many nurses in our network stay in regular contact, forming strong professional bonds and friendships that last for years. Our events are a space to relax, debrief, share experiences and recharge in the company of peers who truly understand the pressures of nursing.
Stay Up-to-Date with CHC Policy, Guidance & Best Practice
We keep our members informed about the latest changes in NHS CHC guidance, frameworks, funding policies and legal rulings that impact practice. Through webinars, newsletters and group discussions, you will stay current with new developments without having to search for updates alone.
This ongoing flow of practical, digestible information helps agency nurses and healthcare providers remain compliant, reduce risk and continually improve the quality and consistency of their CHC-related practice.
Consultancy & Support for Healthcare Organisations
Pre-CQC Readiness Support & Quality Improvement
Preparing Services for CQC Inspection & CHC-Linked Standards
Alongside our nurse-focused community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network connects healthcare organisations with experienced CHC and complex care professionals who can provide consultancy and support around CQC readiness and quality assurance.
Through our network, providers can access pre-CQC reviews, documentation advice and practice audits relating to CHC processes, care planning, person-centred outcomes and governance. We help you identify strengths, address gaps and align your service with current regulatory expectations.
This support is particularly useful for services delivering complex community care, funded packages, learning disability support and joint health/social care provision where CHC considerations are central to safe, effective practice.
Learning Disability & Complex Care Support
Person-Centred Planning for Individuals with Complex Needs
Many members of our network specialise in learning disability nursing, mental health and complex physical health conditions. Through shared learning and consultancy links, we support providers to develop robust, person-centred care plans that promote dignity, autonomy and safety.
Our approach focuses on holistic support—health, daily living, communication, behaviour support and social inclusion—ensuring that individuals with complex needs receive coordinated, respectful and meaningful care.
Expert Case Management & Multi-Agency Coordination
Navigating Complex CHC Pathways & Community Care
The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together nurses with strong case management and coordination expertise, allowing organisations to access advice and support around care transitions, discharge planning, CHC reviews and multi-agency working.
By drawing on the collective experience within our network, we help providers and practitioners streamline communication, optimise resources, improve documentation and support individuals and families through complex funding and care decisions.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Confidential, Invite-Only Spaces for CHC & Agency Nurses
Real Conversations with Professionals Who Understand
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our series of private, invite-only social media groups where CHC and agency nurses can connect, vent, ask questions and support each other at any time of day or night.
We openly share professional issues 24-7-365, from complex clinical queries and documentation concerns to work–life balance, emotional resilience and contract-related questions, within a trusted community of peers.
Only nurses truly understand the realities of nursing, and our members consistently say that having a safe, understanding space to talk to other CHC and agency professionals has been invaluable for their wellbeing and career development.
