CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Nurses
Supporting CHC Agency Nurses With Expert Training, Consultancy & a Strong Professional Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care and complex care settings. We combine specialist CHC training, healthcare consultancy and a supportive peer network to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, workloads and emotional demands that come with CHC and agency nursing. That is why our network is built by nurses, for nurses – giving you a safe place to learn, connect and grow your career while maintaining the highest standards of patient care.
With a core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nurses, we openly share knowledge, case experiences and professional issues 24/7/365 through confidential, invite-only social media groups, online sessions and in-person events.
What We Do at CHC Nurses Agency Network
Specialist Training for CHC & Community Nurses
We offer focused Continuing Healthcare training designed for agency nurses, nurse assessors, case managers and community practitioners who are involved in CHC assessments, reviews and complex care planning.
Our courses cover the full CHC pathway – from Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) processes to eligibility criteria, appeals, documentation, funding applications and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working – to help you work confidently and compliantly in line with national frameworks.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurse specialists who understand real-world pressures, and is suitable for both new starters and experienced CHC professionals seeking refresher updates.
Healthcare Consultancy & Quality Assurance Support
Our consultancy services support providers, agencies and independent nurses to strengthen quality, governance and compliance in CHC and community care settings.
We can help with service reviews, documentation audits, policy development, CHC process mapping, CQC readiness and implementation of best practice standards across your organisation.
By working alongside your team, we help you embed robust clinical practice, regulatory compliance and clear processes that support better patient outcomes and reduced risk.
Peer Support, Networking & Professional Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a relaxed, supportive space where like‑minded professionals can connect, share experiences and reduce feelings of isolation that often come with agency and CHC roles.
We run regular online meet‑ups, webinars, study sessions and in‑person events to bring our community together, and many nurses in our network form long‑term friendships and mentoring relationships.
New members are welcomed into our private social media groups where professional issues, CHC queries and complex cases are discussed in a confidential, respectful environment.
Support With Care Transitions & Complex Community Cases
Our network has extensive experience in supporting complex care packages, hospital-to-home discharges, step-down care and transitions between services, with a strong focus on CHC-funded patients.
We provide guidance and training on safe handovers, risk management, communication with multidisciplinary teams and maintaining continuity of care for individuals with complex clinical needs.
Learning Disabilities (LD), Mental Health & Vulnerable Adults
Many of our network members specialise in Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, mental health and vulnerable adults, especially within CHC and community settings.
We promote person‑centred, strengths-based care planning that protects dignity, choice and independence while ensuring robust clinical and safeguarding standards are met.
Focused Training in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoL Applications
Deepening Your Knowledge of NHS Continuing Healthcare
Our CHC training programmes are designed to give nurses a practical, working understanding of eligibility assessments, CHC checklists, DST completion, MDT decision-making, appeals and care planning.
We break down the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare into clear, real‑world guidance so you can accurately evidence needs, document clinical rationales and support fair, lawful CHC decisions.
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Applications & Best Practice
We provide training and updates on the community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) application process, including local authority requirements, legal responsibilities and documentation standards in community and CHC-funded settings.
Our sessions help nurses understand when and how to escalate DoL concerns, how to complete robust applications and how to protect patients’ rights while maintaining safety and compliance.
CHC Events, Study Days & Networking Opportunities
The CHC Nurses Agency Network organises and participates in regular CHC‑focused events, including study days, webinars, workshops and networking sessions for agency nurses and healthcare professionals.
These events keep you up to date with policy changes, national guidance, case law, best practice and emerging trends in CHC, community care and complex case management.
Attending our events gives you the chance to ask questions, share your experiences and build your professional profile within the CHC nursing community.
Case Management Insight & Multidisciplinary Working
Many members of our network are involved in case management, complex care coordination and CHC package oversight, and we actively share learning around these roles.
We explore best practice in working with ICBs, local authorities, community teams, families and carers to ensure safe, consistent and person‑centred care.
This collaborative approach supports efficient use of resources, smoother care transitions and improved quality of life for the people we care for.
