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

A Dedicated UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist online and in‑person community created exclusively for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK.
We bring together nurses who work in CHC and complex care to share knowledge, support each other, and access expert training, consultancy, and career development tailored to the realities of agency nursing.

Our mission is simple: to make life easier for CHC agency nurses by providing a trusted space to connect with peers, develop professionally, and gain the tools and confidence needed to deliver safe, person‑centred, and compliant care in every setting.

Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility, and emotional load that come with the job.
Working as an agency nurse in CHC can be even more isolating, with changing environments, new teams, and constantly evolving expectations.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network was created to change that.
We offer a supportive professional community where over 500 CHC agency nurses connect daily through confidential, invite‑only social media groups, regular events, and practical resources.
Many nurses in our network become friends and remain connected for years, building a reliable support system that extends beyond shifts and contracts.

A Safe, Relaxed Space for CHC Agency Nurses

Our network is designed as a relaxed, safe space where you can:

  • Connect with other CHC agency nurses who understand your work and challenges
  • Discuss professional issues 24/7/365 within confidential, moderated groups
  • Share experiences, best practice, and real‑world solutions to everyday problems
  • Access up‑to‑date information on CHC processes, policy changes, and clinical standards
  • Build long‑term friendships and a strong professional support network

We welcome new members into our CHC Nurses Agency Network and provide access to private social media groups, online forums, and live events once you join.

Training and Professional Development for CHC Agency Nurses

Alongside community support, we offer specialised training to help CHC agency nurses stay current with national guidance, local CHC processes, and regulatory requirements.
Our sessions are designed to be practical, interactive, and directly relevant to agency nurses working across community, home‑care, and complex‑care environments.

Expert Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training

Our CHC training programmes are built specifically around the roles and responsibilities of CHC assessors, case managers, and clinical leads who work as or alongside agency nurses.

  • Understanding the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS‑funded Nursing Care
  • Confidently completing checklists, DSTs, and CHC assessments
  • Working effectively with ICBs, local authorities, and multidisciplinary teams
  • Documenting clinical evidence clearly, professionally, and defensibly
  • Advocating for patients and families throughout the CHC process

Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner, our courses help you deepen your knowledge, reduce stress, and deliver consistently high‑quality CHC practice.

Training on Care Planning, Risk Management & Community DOL

We also provide focused training on the practical aspects of complex care and community practice that affect CHC nurses daily.

  • Care planning and risk management for complex needs in community and home‑care settings
  • Developing person‑centred support plans for individuals with learning disabilities and mental health needs
  • Understanding and applying Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) and community authorisation requirements
  • Embedding evidence‑based practice into day‑to‑day documentation and decision‑making

These sessions are ideal for agency nurses who need to quickly adapt to new placements while still delivering safe, compliant, and person‑centred care.

Support, Peer Consultancy & Best Practice Sharing

While we are primarily a network and community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network also functions as a peer consultancy hub, where experienced CHC professionals share learning and insight with others.

Peer‑Led Advice on CQC, Compliance & Documentation

Agency nurses are often expected to meet CQC and organisational standards from day one in a new setting.
Our network helps you stay prepared through:

  • Peer‑shared resources on CQC domains and common inspection expectations
  • Examples of high‑quality care plans, risk assessments, and clinical notes
  • Guidance on maintaining professional accountability when working for multiple agencies
  • Discussions around safeguarding, incident reporting, and duty of candour

By tapping into the collective experience of the network, you gain practical, real‑world insight that goes beyond standard policy documents or generic training.

Supporting Safe Transitions and Complex Case Management

Many CHC agency nurses are involved in complex case management and transitions of care, such as discharges from hospital to home, step‑down services, or changes in packages of care.

Within the network, nurses actively share:

  • Tips for managing safe discharges and handovers
  • Approaches to coordinating multidisciplinary input in complex cases
  • Strategies for balancing clinical risk, independence, and quality of life
  • Support on managing the emotional impact of complex or distressing cases

This peer‑to‑peer guidance helps you feel less alone and more confident when navigating demanding CHC and complex‑care scenarios.

Events, Meet‑Ups & Online Networking for CHC Nurses

We know that meaningful support comes from both online and real‑world connections.
That’s why the CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events to bring our community together.

Regular CHC‑Focused Events, Webinars & Workshops

Our events programme includes:

  • Live webinars on CHC topics, policy changes, and best practice
  • Online workshops covering documentation, assessment, and care‑planning skills
  • Virtual meet‑ups for networking, case discussion, and peer support
  • Occasional in‑person gatherings for members where location allows

These events are designed to keep you informed, connected, and confident in your CHC practice, while also giving you the chance to expand your professional network.

24/7 Professional Support Through Private Groups

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays in touch through confidential, invite‑only social media groups.
Members openly share professional issues, questions, and experiences 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

This “always on” support means there is nearly always someone available who:

  • Understands the pressures and challenges you are facing
  • Can offer practical advice based on similar experience
  • Will listen without judgement and provide emotional support
  • Can signpost you to relevant resources, training, or guidance

Over time, many nurses in our network build long‑term friendships and mentoring relationships that continue throughout their CHC careers.
