CHC Nurses Agency Network | Continuing Healthcare Nurses Community & Training
A Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK.
We bring CHC nurses together to share knowledge, access expert guidance, build professional connections, and develop your CHC nursing career in a supportive, confidential environment.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities, and emotional demands of nursing; our network offers a place where you can talk openly with peers who “get it”, 24/7, all year round.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a peer-led support and development network of around 500 experienced CHC and community agency nurses.
Members connect through invite-only, confidential social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and structured professional development opportunities.
Many nurses in our network build long‑term friendships and professional partnerships, staying in touch and supporting each other through every stage of their careers.
Key Benefits for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Connect, Share and De‑Stress
Our network offers a relaxed, non‑judgemental space where CHC nurses can talk honestly about work, challenges, and successes.
Because our members are all nurses, you can discuss real‑world clinical and professional issues with people who understand the pressures of agency work, shift patterns, and CHC caseloads.
Confidential 24/7 Peer Support
We operate several private, invite‑only social media groups that are active 24-7-365, giving you continuous access to peer advice and emotional support.
Whether you are dealing with a complex CHC case, a difficult shift, or a professional dilemma, you can post questions, seek guidance, and gain reassurance from experienced colleagues.
Regular Events, Meet‑Ups and Networking
We run regular online webinars, discussion sessions, and in‑person meet‑ups to bring our CHC nursing community together.
Events focus on current CHC policies, best practice, case studies, and wellbeing, helping you stay informed while building strong professional relationships and friendships.
Professional Development for CHC Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Knowledge and Skills
Our network helps you deepen your understanding of CHC eligibility, assessments, decision‑making, and funding, so you can work with confidence in any CHC setting.
Through shared resources, peer learning, and expert‑led sessions, we support you to stay up to date with CHC guidance, national frameworks, and local practice.
Case Discussion and Reflective Practice
Members regularly discuss anonymised CHC and complex care cases to explore decision‑making, documentation, and person‑centred care.
This reflective approach strengthens your clinical judgement, improves documentation quality, and supports safer, more consistent CHC practice.
Support with Professional Issues and Career Choices
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to ask about agency work, pay, contracts, IR35, clinical roles, and progression.
Experienced members share reality‑based advice on managing shifts, balancing workloads, and planning your long‑term CHC nursing career.
Supporting Nurses Working in CHC and Complex Care
Understanding the Realities of CHC Nursing
Agency nurses in CHC and complex care often manage highly complex patients, challenging family dynamics, and detailed assessments.
Our community understands these realities and offers practical tips, shared tools, and emotional support to help you manage stress and maintain safe practice.
Promoting High‑Quality, Person‑Centred Care
Discussions within the network focus on person‑centred approaches, safeguarding, consent, capacity, and best‑interest decision‑making in the CHC context.
By learning from each other, members enhance their ability to advocate for patients, families, and carers while working within legal and organisational frameworks.
A Long‑Term Community, Not Just a Mailing List
Friendships and Professional Networks That Last
Many nurses who join the CHC Nurses Agency Network stay connected for years, supporting each other through role changes, new contracts, and life events.
Our network is known for being warm, welcoming, and genuinely supportive, with members often meeting up outside of formal events and groups.
A Relaxed, Supportive Environment
While we cover serious professional topics, the tone of our network is friendly, relaxed, and down‑to‑earth.
You can join in as much or as little as you like—some members are very active, while others dip in when they need advice, community, or a listening ear.
