CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for UK Continuing Healthcare Nurses


CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses

A Dedicated UK Community for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide professional community created by and for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC). We provide a safe, supportive space where CHC nurses can connect, relax, share experiences, ask questions, and develop their careers with up‑to‑date knowledge, peer support and specialist CHC insights.

We understand the unique pressures of CHC agency nursing—tight deadlines, complex assessments, family expectations and multi‑disciplinary working—because we live it every day. That is why our network focuses on real‑world support that makes your working life easier, more rewarding and more sustainable.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an invite‑only, nurse‑led community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK. Our members work in roles such as CHC assessors, case managers, verifiers, appeal nurses, brokerage nurses and complex discharge planners.

Through our confidential private social media groups, online discussions and regular events, we support each other 24/7/365 with practical advice, moral support and professional networking, helping you feel less isolated and more confident in your CHC role.

Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

Joining our network gives you access to a unique combination of peer support, CHC‑specific knowledge, networking and opportunities to grow your agency career. We focus entirely on the realities of Continuing Healthcare nursing, so everything we share is relevant, applicable and grounded in practice.

  • Access to Expertise: Learn from experienced CHC professionals who regularly share tips, templates and best practice.
  • Career Development: Discover new agency opportunities, role types and ways to progress in CHC nursing.

Community, Events & Private Social Media Groups

At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our active online community, supported by regular events designed to bring CHC nurses together in a relaxed, informal way. We believe that strong peer relationships directly improve resilience, professional confidence and ultimately the quality of care we deliver.

Private Invite‑Only Social Media Groups

We host multiple confidential, invite‑only social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses. These groups are safe spaces where you can:

  • Ask Professional Questions: Get practical answers on CHC assessments, DSTs, checklists, reviews and appeals.
  • Share Experiences: Talk openly about challenging cases, workload pressures and ethical dilemmas.
  • Exchange Resources: Share templates, tools, policy updates and links that make CHC work easier.
  • Offer & Receive Emotional Support: Check in with colleagues who understand the stress and complexity of CHC nursing.
  • Network with Peers: Connect with nurses across ICBs, local authorities, agencies and specialisms.

Our core network keeps in touch daily, and many members form long‑term friendships that extend beyond work and online platforms.

Regular CHC Networking Events & Meet‑Ups

We run regular online and in‑person events to help CHC nurses relax, connect and learn from each other. These are informal, nurse‑centred spaces rather than corporate training sessions, and they are built around what our members tell us they need most.

What to Expect from Our Events

  • Relaxed Networking: Meet other CHC nurses from across the UK and expand your professional circle.
  • Peer‑Led Discussions: Share ideas and solutions around workload, caseload management, documentation and multidisciplinary work.
  • Short Learning Sessions: Access bite‑sized updates on CHC guidance, case law and best practice.
  • Wellbeing Focus: Explore strategies to manage stress, boundaries and burnout within CHC roles.
  • Ongoing Contact: Stay connected with colleagues you meet through our private groups and follow‑up meet‑ups.

Professional Development & CHC Knowledge Sharing

While we are first and foremost a community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a powerful source of professional development. Our members openly share information, experiences and practical insights that you would rarely find in a formal training course.

Real‑World CHC Learning from Experienced Nurses

Within our network, you can learn from nurses who have worked across a range of CHC settings and roles, including assessment, case management, appeals, brokerage and commissioning. We frequently discuss:

  • CHC Eligibility & Assessment Processes: How to approach checklists, DSTs, review processes and complex eligibility decisions.
  • Care Planning & Person‑Centred Practice: Ways to ensure care is holistic, needs‑led and evidence‑based.
  • Documentation & Evidence Gathering: Tips for robust, clear and defensible clinical records.
  • Policy, Guidance & Case Law: Sharing updates on National Framework changes and key CHC case decisions.
  • Agency Working & Professional Boundaries: Managing relationships with commissioners, providers, families and agencies.

This constant flow of real‑world information supports continuous professional development (CPD) and helps you stay confident and up to date in a rapidly changing CHC environment.

Support for Career Growth in CHC Agency Nursing

Members of our network regularly share opportunities, insights and advice on progressing within CHC agency work. This includes:

  • Exploring New Roles: Understanding different CHC positions such as assessor, verifier, appeals nurse or case manager.
  • Agency Tips: Suggestions on working with agencies, negotiating rates and choosing contracts that suit your lifestyle.
  • Interview & Application Advice: Peer support to present your CHC experience strongly and confidently.
  • Portfolio Building: Guidance on documenting your CHC work for professional development and revalidation.

A Safe Space to Share the Realities of CHC Nursing

Only another nurse truly understands the emotional load, moral pressure and daily intensity of CHC work. The CHC Nurses Agency Network exists to provide a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly about:

  • The impact of high caseloads, tight timescales and complex family situations.
  • The challenge of balancing policy, budgets and doing what is best for the person.
  • The stress of appeals, disputes and difficult multidisciplinary conversations.
  • The emotional toll of dealing with end‑of‑life situations and long‑term conditions.
  • The reality of working as an agency nurse across different systems and teams.

Many of our members say the network has helped them feel less alone, more valued and more able to continue working in CHC for the long term.
