A Dedicated UK Network for Continuing Healthcare Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. We provide a safe, supportive and confidential space where nurses can connect with peers, share real-life experiences, access specialist CHC knowledge and grow their professional careers in a way that truly understands the realities of agency nursing.

We recognise that only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional impact of delivering high-quality patient care, whether in NHS, private, community or home settings. Our network exists to make your professional life easier, more connected and more rewarding.

A Relaxed, Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a relaxed, friendly environment where CHC agency nurses can talk openly about work, challenges, successes and everyday concerns without judgment. Many of our members report that being part of the network has helped them feel less isolated and more confident in their professional decisions.

Our community includes nurses at all stages of their careers, from those new to CHC and agency work through to highly experienced CHC specialists. Whatever your level, you will find peers who understand your day-to-day reality and can offer practical support and encouragement.

Build Professional Contacts & Long-Term Friendships

One of the biggest benefits of joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network is the opportunity to build genuine professional relationships. Most members stay in regular contact through our invite-only groups, and many go on to become close friends who support one another for years into the future.

From sharing job opportunities and agency experiences to discussing complex CHC cases, our network enables you to grow a trusted circle of colleagues who truly understand the demands of Continuing Healthcare and agency work.

Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups for CHC Agency Nurses

At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are our confidential, invite-only social media groups, bringing together a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals from across the UK.

These groups run 24/7, 365 days a year, giving members constant access to peer advice, moral support and real-time discussion around:

  • CHC assessments, documentation and eligibility decisions
  • Agency working practices, contracts and expectations
  • Complex care packages and community-based care
  • Professional boundaries, resilience and wellbeing
  • Clinical queries and best-practice approaches (within professional guidelines)

Our groups are strictly moderated to protect confidentiality, professionalism and patient privacy, ensuring members can speak openly while respecting all legal and ethical standards.

Regular Events for Learning, Networking & Peer Support

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events designed to bring our community together both online and, where possible, in person. These events provide a safe space to:

  • Network with other CHC agency nurses
  • Share real-world experiences and problem-solve common challenges
  • Discuss changes in CHC policy, commissioning and practice
  • Explore career development opportunities within CHC and agency work
  • Look after your wellbeing through peer-led support and informal discussion

Our events are designed to be practical, relevant and grounded in everyday agency nursing reality, not just theory. Whether you prefer structured discussions, informal drop-ins or topic-based sessions, you will find opportunities to connect in a way that suits you.

Share Professional Issues in a Safe, Understanding Environment

We openly share professional issues, questions and concerns within our core network throughout the year. Members frequently use the group to:

  • Ask for peer insight on challenging CHC or agency scenarios
  • Soundboard difficult workplace situations in a confidential setting
  • Discuss documentation, communication and multidisciplinary working

Professional Development & Knowledge Sharing for CHC Agency Nurses

Alongside community support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network strongly focuses on professional development, helping you stay informed and confident in the changing world of Continuing Healthcare.

Stay Up to Date with Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

Continuing Healthcare can be complex, fast-changing and highly variable between areas. Our network helps members to:

  • Stay informed about national CHC guidance, frameworks and updates
  • Share experiences of CHC assessments, reviews and appeals
  • Discuss best practice in documentation and evidence gathering
  • Understand how changes in policy affect agency-based roles

Through collective experience, the network supports you to increase your confidence in CHC processes, while recognising that we do not replace formal training, employer guidance or legal advice.

Support for Agency Work, Work–Life Balance & Wellbeing

Agency nursing brings unique benefits and pressures. Our members frequently discuss:

  • Work–life balance and managing variable shifts
  • Professional identity as an agency nurse within MDTs
  • Boundaries, burnout and self-care
