CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care and complex care settings.
We bring together CHC agency nurses, case managers and healthcare providers to share expertise, access tailored training and improve patient outcomes through better CHC practice and collaboration.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive, professional space where CHC agency nurses can connect, learn and grow in their careers.
Our private, invite-only network of around 500 Continuing Healthcare professionals offers a trusted environment to discuss complex cases, regulatory updates and day-to-day challenges in CHC nursing.
A Relaxed but Professional Community for CHC Nurses
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional impact of CHC and community nursing.
Our network provides a safe, confidential space to decompress, share experiences and get peer advice from colleagues who face the same CHC challenges every day.
Private Social Media Groups and Ongoing Peer Support
Members gain access to several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC nurses communicate 24/7, 365 days a year.
Within these groups, nurses share professional issues, ask questions, swap resources and offer each other practical and emotional support.
Events, Networking and Continuous Professional Development
Regular CHC Networking Events
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC nurses together.
These sessions focus on sharing best practice, case discussions, policy updates and real-world solutions to everyday CHC nursing issues.
Building Long-Term Professional and Personal Connections
Many nurses within our network become trusted professional contacts and, in many cases, long-term friends.
Members regularly keep in touch beyond formal events, supporting one another with mentoring, job opportunities and advice on CHC practice, assessments and documentation.
CPD, Training and Skills Development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports continuous professional development (CPD) through webinars, workshops and peer-led learning sessions.
We cover topics such as CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, best-interest decisions, care planning and person-centred documentation.
Specialist Support for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Multidisciplinary Teams
CHC Assessment, Funding and Documentation Training
Our tailored CHC training sessions help nurses and teams understand the full Continuing Healthcare assessment and funding process.
We cover the national framework, CHC eligibility criteria, robust evidence gathering, accurate DST completion and clear, defensible clinical rationales.
Best Practice in Community DOLs and Complex Care
We provide guidance on managing community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications, complex care packages and legal/ethical considerations in community nursing.
Our training ensures nurses feel confident in balancing patient safety, autonomy, Mental Capacity Act requirements and best-interest decision-making.
Consultancy and Support for Healthcare Providers
Pre-CQC and Quality Assurance Support
For services employing or working with CHC agency nurses, we can support pre-CQC preparation, quality audits and policy reviews related to CHC and community care.
We help identify gaps in processes, documentation and governance, and provide practical action plans to improve compliance and care quality.
Case Review and Person-Centred Care Planning
Our network includes experienced nurses and case managers who can support with person-centred case reviews, complex care planning and risk management.
We focus on safe, coordinated care around the individual, ensuring that CHC packages and community support plans are holistic, realistic and evidence-based.
Support for People with Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Learning Disability (LD) and Autism Care Support
Many of our CHC agency nurses specialise in Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex behavioural needs in community and residential settings.
We share best practice on person-centred care, reasonable adjustments, communication strategies and safe, respectful support for people with LD.
Collaborative Working with Families and Providers
Our network actively promotes collaboration between nurses, families, advocates and care providers to ensure joined-up care.
We encourage approaches that maintain dignity, independence and quality of life, while meeting clinical needs and CHC responsibilities.
