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

CHC Nurses Agency Network – Expert CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Specialist Training, Consultancy and a Supportive Professional Network

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations. We combine specialist CHC training, consultancy, and case management support with a strong, friendly professional network, helping nurses enhance their skills, stay compliant, and feel supported in demanding roles.

By bringing together experienced CHC agency nurses through private groups, events and learning opportunities, we help you navigate complex CHC frameworks, manage workloads more effectively, and build a sustainable, rewarding career in nursing.

Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations

Our training programmes are designed specifically for CHC agency nurses, case managers and care providers working in community and acute settings. We focus on practical, real-world skills that improve CHC assessments, care planning, and regulatory compliance, all aligned with national guidelines and local commissioning requirements.

Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner, our courses help you confidently manage complex cases, work effectively with MDTs, and deliver high-quality, person-centred care within the CHC framework.

CHC Eligibility, DST & Community DoLS Application Training

The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers in-depth CHC eligibility and Decision Support Tool (DST) training, along with guidance on the Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)

Delivered by experienced CHC professionals, this training enables nurses to complete CHC and DoLS processes correctly and efficiently, reduce delays, and support fair, lawful decision-making for patients and families. Organisations benefit from improved compliance and clearer understanding of complex CHC funding mechanisms.

Compliance, Quality and Pre-CQC Support for CHC Services

Preparing CHC services and community care provision for CQC inspections can be challenging, especially for busy agency teams and providers. We support organisations with pre-CQC readiness reviews focused on CHC pathways, policies, documentation and clinical governance.

Our consultants highlight gaps, recommend practical improvements, and help you develop actionable quality improvement plans that reflect CQC’s five key questions and CHC best practice. This proactive support strengthens compliance, boosts confidence before inspections, and promotes consistent, high-quality care for CHC-funded individuals.

LD Care, CHC & Person-Centred Support Planning

The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and organisations delivering Learning Disability (LD) and complex needs packages within CHC frameworks. We help you design and review person-centred care and support plans that meet clinical needs while promoting independence, dignity and choice.

Evidence-Based, Person-Centred Care Planning

Our approach places the individual at the centre of every plan, integrating clinical best practice with practical, day-to-day support strategies. We draw on the latest guidance in LD, autism, mental health and complex physical health to support safe, effective care in community settings.

This comprehensive, evidence-based method enables CHC agency nurses and providers to deliver safe, compassionate and personalised support, improving quality of life while maintaining robust documentation that stands up to scrutiny from CCGs, ICBs and regulators.

A Strong, Supportive Network for CHC Agency Nurses

Alongside our consultancy and training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is first and foremost a professional community for nurses working in CHC. We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional load and complexity of this work, and we have built a space where you can connect with peers who “get it”.

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays in touch through confidential, invite-only social media groups and online forums, where members can share experiences, ask questions and offer support 24/7/365.

Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support

We welcome new CHC agency nurses into our private social media groups, where you can discuss professional issues securely, access peer advice, and find reassurance during difficult shifts or complex cases. Many members build lasting friendships and professional connections that benefit their careers for years.

From clinical queries to work–life balance tips, our community offers real-time peer support, helping reduce isolation, stress and burnout for nurses working across diverse CHC settings.

Regular Events, Meet-Ups and CPD Opportunities

We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, including informal meet-ups, expert-led webinars, CHC case discussion sessions and CPD-accredited workshops.

These events provide space to relax, learn and network with other CHC professionals. Many of our members continue to attend events together for years, building strong professional relationships that open doors to new roles, contracts and collaborative projects.

Continuing Healthcare Events, Policy Updates & Best Practice

The CHC Nurses Agency Network actively hosts and participates in CHC-focused events across the UK, helping nurses and organisations stay ahead of policy changes, framework updates and commissioning expectations.

Stay Up-to-Date & Connect with CHC Specialists

Our workshops, seminars and networking sessions ensure that CHC agency nurses are kept informed about national guidance, ICB commissioning changes, legal judgments and best practice developments. You gain insight from CHC experts, legal professionals and senior clinicians, as well as peers who share practical tips from the frontline.

Attending these events strengthens your professional profile, supports ongoing CPD, and helps you deliver care that is fully compliant and up-to-date with current CHC standards.

Expert CHC Case Management Support & Consultancy

In addition to supporting individual nurses, we provide expert CHC case management consultancy for organisations, helping them streamline pathways, allocate resources effectively and improve outcomes for CHC-funded individuals.

Person-Centred, Holistic CHC Case Management

Our experienced CHC case management consultants work closely with agencies, providers, ICBs and families to design and oversee holistic care strategies that are safe, sustainable and person-centred. We support care co-ordination, reviews, appeals and dispute resolution where needed.

By managing complex care pathways in a structured, legally compliant way, we help organisations deliver seamless, high-quality CHC support while reducing risk, minimising delays and improving the experience for patients and families.
