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


CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses

Specialist Support for Nurses Working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community for nurses and healthcare professionals working in or alongside NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC). We provide specialist CHC training, consultancy, peer support and networking opportunities to help agency nurses build confidence, improve practice and navigate the complexities of CHC and community care.

As nurses ourselves, we understand the pressures of working in high‑demand environments, especially within CHC, complex care and community settings. Our network is designed to be a place where you can learn, connect and re‑energise with colleagues who truly “get it”.

A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers more than training – it is a supportive hub for agency nurses to share knowledge, ask questions and build lasting professional relationships. Our growing community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected through confidential, invite‑only social media groups and regular online and in‑person events.

Relax, Connect and Share with Nurses Who Understand

Only another nurse truly understands the emotional and physical demands of nursing. That is why our network is designed as a safe, relaxed space where you can:

  • Talk openly about real‑world challenges in CHC and agency work.
  • Share clinical experiences, concerns and best practice with peers.
  • Access practical advice and informal mentoring from experienced CHC nurses.
  • Build genuine friendships that often last for years.

Our members tell us that being part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network helps them feel less isolated, more supported and better prepared for the realities of Continuing Healthcare.

Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support

We actively welcome new members into our private social media groups, where nurses can connect 24‑7‑365. Within these invite‑only communities, our core network of CHC professionals:

  • Openly shares professional issues, updates and questions.
  • Discusses CHC funding decisions, assessments and case law.
  • Supports each other through complex cases and ethical dilemmas.
  • Highlights training opportunities, job roles and career tips.

This continuous, confidential communication helps agency nurses stay up to date, informed and supported wherever they are working.

Specialist Training for CHC, Complex Care & Community Nursing

Alongside our community network, we provide specialist CHC and complex care training tailored specifically for agency nurses, care coordinators and healthcare providers. Our programmes are designed to build competence, confidence and compliance in the Continuing Healthcare environment.

Comprehensive CHC Training Programmes

Our CHC courses are delivered by experienced nurses and practitioners who work directly within Continuing Healthcare and community care. Training topics typically include:

  • Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) – eligibility criteria, national framework and decision‑making processes.
  • CHC assessments & checklists – Decision Support Tool (DST), MDT working and evidence gathering.
  • Care planning & case management in CHC and community settings.
  • Risk assessment, safeguarding and patient safety in home and community care.
  • Documentation, record‑keeping and compliance for CHC cases.

All training is practical, interactive and scenario‑based, ensuring that learning can be immediately applied in daily practice.

Tailored Learning for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations

We understand that agency nurses, CHC teams and care providers work in a wide range of environments, from hospitals and community settings to complex home‑care packages. Our training is therefore:

  • Customisable to the needs of specific teams, agencies or providers.
  • Relevant to real‑life CHC and community nursing scenarios.
  • Adaptable for both individual nurses and organisational training.

This flexible approach means we can support individual professional development as well as service‑wide quality improvement.

Consultancy & Support for CHC Practice and Compliance

The CHC Nurses Agency Network also offers consultancy services for healthcare providers, agencies and teams who want to strengthen their approach to CHC, complex care and regulatory compliance.

Advisory Support on CHC Processes & Best Practice

Our experienced CHC nurses can help you:

  • Review and improve your CHC processes, documentation and workflows.
  • Understand the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS‑funded Nursing Care.
  • Strengthen person‑centred care planning for CHC‑funded individuals.
  • Promote consistent, evidence‑based decision‑making within your organisation.

We work collaboratively with your teams to identify strengths, gaps and opportunities for better outcomes and smoother CHC pathways.

Quality, Compliance & Pre‑Inspection Readiness

For services providing CHC or complex community care, we can support pre‑inspection preparation and quality assurance by:

  • Reviewing care plans, risk assessments and clinical documentation.
  • Advising on policies, procedures and governance relevant to CHC.
  • Highlighting areas that may need attention before external review or audit.
  • Offering actionable recommendations to strengthen compliance and quality.

This consultancy support helps organisations maintain high standards of safe, person‑centred care for people with complex needs.

Focused Training on CHC, CHC Funding & Community DoLS

Because CHC is complex and fast‑moving, we offer in‑depth training on specific aspects of Continuing Healthcare and community practice, including funding applications and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) in the community.

Deepening Understanding of CHC Eligibility & Funding Pathways

Our CHC‑focused sessions cover:

  • The latest CHC guidelines, national framework updates and policy changes.
  • How to gather and present robust clinical evidence for CHC assessments.
  • Best practice for supporting patients and families through the CHC process.
  • Common pitfalls in CHC funding applications and reviews and how to avoid them.

This helps agency nurses and care teams to feel confident and clear when working within CHC systems.

Support with Community DoLS & Legal Compliance

We also provide guidance on community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and related applications, including:

  • Understanding when DoLS may apply in community and home‑care settings.
  • Knowing how to raise concerns and escalate appropriately.
  • Working within legal and ethical frameworks to protect patient rights.

Our aim is to support nurses and providers to uphold both safety and autonomy for people with complex needs.

Events, Workshops & CHC Networking Opportunities

We regularly organise CHC‑focused events, webinars, workshops and meet‑ups to bring our network together, share updates and build skills.

Learn, Share and Stay Up to Date

Our events give agency nurses and healthcare professionals the chance to:

  • Hear from expert speakers on CHC, complex care and community nursing.
  • Stay informed about policy changes, guidance and best practice.
