CHC Nurses Agency Network | Supporting, Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses
A Dedicated UK Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses. Our mission is to provide a safe, supportive space where CHC nurses can connect, share knowledge, reduce stress and develop their careers.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of nursing, especially in complex CHC environments. That’s why our network focuses on peer support, professional development, regular events and confidential discussion spaces tailored specifically to CHC agency professionals.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an invite-only community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, connected through private social media groups and regular online and in-person events. Many members form long-term friendships and professional partnerships that continue throughout their careers.
Our goal is to help CHC nurses:
- Feel less isolated while working agency and CHC roles.
- Access trusted peer advice and informal mentorship.
- Stay up to date with CHC processes, policies and best practice.
- Build strong professional networks across the UK.
- Protect their wellbeing and work–life balance.
Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses
Private CHC Agency Nurse Social Media Groups
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses. These are safe spaces to ask questions, discuss complex cases (without breaching confidentiality), share experiences and gain reassurance from peers who truly understand your role.
Our groups are active 24/7, 365 days a year, providing real-time support whenever you need it – whether that’s advice about CHC assessments, documentation, agency work challenges or personal resilience in demanding situations.
Regular Networking & Community Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events designed specifically for CHC agency nurses across the UK. These include informal meetups, networking evenings, themed discussion sessions and peer learning events.
Our events offer the chance to:
- Meet other CHC agency nurses in a relaxed environment.
- Discuss current CHC issues, trends and challenges.
- Share practical tips on workload, agencies, and maintaining standards.
- Build friendships and long-term professional connections.
Peer Support for Stress, Isolation and Burnout
We recognise that stress, isolation and burnout are real risks for nurses, especially in community and CHC settings where you may often work alone or across multiple organisations.
Through our network, you can access:
- Informal peer support and listening from other CHC agency nurses.
- Practical strategies for managing workload and emotional strain.
- Shared resources on wellbeing, boundaries and resilience.
- Reassurance that you are not alone in your experiences.
Knowledge Sharing on CHC Processes and Practice
Our members regularly discuss and share insights on all aspects of NHS Continuing Healthcare, including:
- CHC eligibility and assessment processes.
- Decision Support Tool (DST) documentation tips.
- Best practice in person-centred care and complex case management.
- Working effectively with ICBs, MDTs and community providers.
- Agency-related issues such as bookings, expectations and professional boundaries.
By taking part in the network, CHC nurses can stay current with policy changes, documentation expectations and regulatory developments that affect their daily practice.
Informal Professional Development & Career Support
While we are primarily a community and support network, many nurses use the CHC Nurses Agency Network to develop their professional profile and career opportunities.
Members often:
- Share experiences of different agencies, roles and settings.
- Discuss pay, contracts, expectations and negotiation strategies.
- Offer guidance to nurses new to CHC or agency work.
- Connect with potential mentors and role models in the field.
This peer-to-peer support helps agency nurses make informed career decisions and build confidence in navigating CHC roles across the UK.
