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

Connecting and Empowering Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses Across the UK

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-wide community created by and for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses. We provide a safe space to connect, share expertise and access targeted CHC training, resources and peer support that help you thrive in your professional life.

With a core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals, we understand the unique pressures of CHC work – from complex assessments and case management to navigating funding decisions and multidisciplinary team dynamics. Our mission is to make your working life easier, more supported and better informed.

Through our confidential invite-only social media groups, regular CHC-focused events and access to expert guidance, we help you build meaningful professional connections, stay updated with national CHC policies and strengthen your career in continuing healthcare nursing.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for CHC nurses, agency nurses and nurse consultants working in NHS Continuing Healthcare and related fields. It’s a place to relax, debrief, learn, collaborate and grow your CHC career alongside colleagues who genuinely understand the realities of the role.

  • A supportive community where only other CHC nurses truly understand your daily pressures and responsibilities.
  • A confidential space to discuss CHC eligibility, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), appeals, fast-track and complex cases.
  • A professional network that opens up new opportunities, collaboration and long-term friendships.
  • An evolving platform for specialist CHC training, webinars and CPD development.

Our CHC Nurse Community and Private Network

A Safe, Confidential Space for CHC Nurses

As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the emotional, mental and physical demands of the job. This is especially true in Continuing Healthcare, where complex cases and funding decisions can be challenging and isolating.

Our network provides a confidential, invite-only environment where CHC agency nurses can talk openly about practice issues, share experiences and seek peer advice without judgment.

24/7 Peer Support Through Private Social Media Groups

We maintain private social media groups where our core group of approximately 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connect and communicate 24-7-365. Here you can:

  • Discuss real-world CHC scenarios and gain practical peer insight.
  • Ask questions about CHC assessments, frameworks, commissioning, and documentation.
  • Share best practice, tools, templates and useful resources.
  • Access emotional support from colleagues who understand CHC pressures.
  • Stay up to date with policy changes, guidance and NHS CHC updates.

A Community Where Professional Contacts Become Long-Term Friends

One of the most powerful aspects of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is the lasting relationships created within the community. Many nurses who join us:

  • Build strong professional networks across NHS and independent sectors.
  • Develop friendships that go beyond the workplace and last for years.
  • Find mentors, collaborators and supportive peers for every stage of their CHC career.

Events, Meet-Ups and Learning Opportunities

  • Best practice in completing Checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs).
  • Documentation standards, evidence gathering and quality reporting.
  • Working effectively within multidisciplinary teams and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).
