CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Trusted Partner in CHC Nursing, Training and Support

Empowering CHC Nurses and Healthcare Providers Across the UK

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care, and community-based services across the UK. We connect CHC agency nurses, provide specialist training, and support healthcare organisations to deliver safe, person-centred and compliant care.

Through our exclusive CHC nurses network, expert-led training, and consultancy support, we help nurses build their careers, enhance their CHC knowledge and improve outcomes for patients with complex needs. Our community of over 500 CHC agency professionals collaborates daily to share best practice, discuss real-world challenges and navigate complex CHC processes with confidence.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an invite-only, professional community for nurses working in or moving into Continuing Healthcare, community D2A pathways, and complex community care. It is a place to relax, connect and grow professionally with colleagues who truly understand the pressures and responsibilities of nursing.

Only another nurse understands the daily realities of delivering safe, compassionate care in a high-pressure environment. Our network offers a supportive, confidential space where CHC nurses can share experiences, raise professional issues, ask questions, and receive peer support 24/7, 365 days a year.

Our Core Services and Support

Private CHC Nurse Networking Community

Connect With Experienced CHC Agency Nurses

Our private network brings together around 500 CHC agency nurses from across the UK who work in Continuing Healthcare assessments, case management, community D2A, and complex care packages.

Members gain access to confidential, invite-only social media groups where they can discuss cases (within governance limits), share resources, ask practice-related questions, and build long-term professional and personal relationships with like-minded colleagues.

Regular CHC Nursing Events and Meet-Ups

Learn, Network and Decompress

We run regular face-to-face and online events to bring our CHC nurse community together. These include informal meet-ups, study sessions, Q&A panels, webinars and focused workshops on CHC best practice, MDT working, PHBs, and lawful decision-making.

Our events are designed to support your wellbeing, learning and professional growth, giving you the chance to connect with other CHC agency nurses, share experiences, and stay up to date with evolving guidance and policies.

CHC Training and Professional Development

Specialist Training for CHC and Community DOL

We provide specialist training programmes tailored to nurses and professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community settings and complex care. Our training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who understand the reality of frontline practice.

Core topics include CHC eligibility, checklist and DST processes, community DOL application pathways, lawful care planning, risk management, person-centred documentation, and multi-agency collaboration. Courses are suitable for both nurses new to CHC and those looking to deepen or refresh their expertise.

Support With CHC Processes and Documentation

Navigate Complex CHC Systems With Confidence

Working in CHC often means navigating complex funding pathways, legal frameworks and multi-disciplinary decision-making. Through our network, members can access peer support, templates, tips and signposting to help them manage:

  • CHC checklists, DSTs and review processes
  • Community DOL applications and legal safeguards
  • Complex care planning and risk assessments
  • Documentation for governance, audit and quality assurance
  • Communication with ICBs, local authorities and providers

This peer-enabled support helps nurses feel more confident, prepared and compliant in their CHC roles.

Person-Centred Care Planning for Complex and LD Needs

Promoting Independence, Safety and Dignity

Many CHC nurses within our network work with individuals who have learning disabilities, autism, long-term conditions, and complex physical or mental health needs. We champion a person-centred approach that balances independence, risk enablement and safety.

Through shared expertise and training, we support nurses to develop robust, personalised care and support plans that promote dignity, inclusion, and quality of life, while aligning with CHC commissioning, legal expectations and best practice.

Wellbeing and Peer Support for CHC Nurses

A Safe Space to Talk and Be Understood

Nursing is demanding, and CHC roles carry added clinical, legal and emotional responsibility. Our network exists not just for professional development, but also for wellbeing and emotional support.

Members share openly about the realities of their work, offer practical and emotional support, and help each other manage stress, boundaries, and work–life balance. Many nurses within our community become friends and stay connected for many years.
