CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Expertise, Community and Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. We specialise in expert CHC training, peer support, and practical guidance to help nurses deliver safe, effective and person‑centred care in all settings.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network connects you with experienced CHC professionals, regular events, and tailored learning opportunities. Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, we provide the specialist knowledge, tools and community you need to thrive in your agency nursing career.
What is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive hub for over 500 CHC agency nurses working across the UK. Our mission is to make agency nursing in CHC easier, safer and more rewarding by combining expert guidance with a strong professional network.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional impact of the job. That’s why our community focuses on honest, confidential discussion, practical problem‑solving and mutual support – 24/7, 365 days a year.
Members gain access to invite-only social media groups, specialist CHC training, consultancy support, and regular online and in‑person events where nurses build lasting friendships and professional connections.
Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training & Guidance
Expert CHC Courses to Enhance Your Professional Skills
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Our CHC and Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) training is designed for agency nurses who want deeper confidence in eligibility assessments, care planning and funding pathways. We break down the CHC process step‑by‑step so you fully understand your role in multi‑disciplinary assessments and reviews.
This training helps you navigate the complex CHC framework, apply the National Framework consistently, and contribute effectively to CHC and Community DoLS applications. You will learn to deliver legally compliant, person‑centred care that aligns with NHS and local authority expectations.
Pre‑CQC Preparation & Organisational Compliance Support
Agency nurses are often at the frontline when services prepare for CQC inspections. Our consultancy supports both individual nurses and organisations with pre‑CQC assessments, mock inspections and documentation reviews.
We help you understand what “good” and “outstanding” practice look like, identify gaps in care records, and improve your contribution to safe, high‑quality care. This support strengthens your professional practice while helping providers demonstrate compliance and best practice.
Person‑Centred Care for Complex Needs & Specific Populations
Learning Disabilities (LD) Care & Support Planning for CHC Nurses
Many CHC packages involve individuals with Learning Disabilities, autism and complex behavioural needs. We offer focused guidance and training to help agency nurses deliver evidence‑based, person‑centred care in community, residential and supported‑living settings.
Our approach covers holistic assessment, risk management, communication strategies and positive behaviour support. You will learn how to contribute to robust, person‑centred care plans that promote safety, independence, dignity and quality of life for people with Learning Disabilities.
Managing Transitions Across Health & Social Care Settings
Transitions – such as hospital to home, care home to community, or changes of provider – are critical moments for patients and for CHC packages. We provide training and guidance to help agency nurses support safe, smooth and well‑coordinated transitions.
We focus on continuity of care, clear documentation, communication with families and MDTs, and proactive risk planning. Effective transition support reduces avoidable readmissions, improves patient and family experiences, and strengthens your professional reputation as a reliable CHC nurse.
Events, Networking & Ongoing Professional Support
Regular CHC Events, Workshops & Webinars
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, workshops and webinars focused on Continuing Healthcare practice, policy updates and real‑world case discussions. These sessions are shaped around the questions and challenges our members face every day.
By attending, you can stay up‑to‑date with the latest CHC guidance, learn from experienced CHC nurses, and share practical tips with peers. Our events are also a great way to build your professional profile, improve your CV, and demonstrate ongoing CPD (Continuing Professional Development).
Private Social Media Groups & Peer‑to‑Peer Support
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nurses stays connected via confidential, invite‑only social media groups. These spaces are where members safely discuss professional issues, clinical dilemmas, CHC queries and work‑life challenges in real time.
Many nurses in our network become long‑term friends and trusted colleagues, supporting each other through job changes, complex cases and personal milestones. Whether you need advice on a CHC checklist, help with documentation, or simply someone who “gets it”, the network is there 24/7.
Case Management Insight & Best Practice Sharing
While we are not a direct care provider, our network includes nurses with extensive CHC case management and coordination experience. Through our community and training, we share best‑practice approaches to CHC case management, from MDT collaboration to review processes.
This peer‑led learning helps agency nurses understand the bigger picture of CHC packages, improve their documentation, and work more effectively with commissioners, providers and families to achieve positive outcomes.
