CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Community, Training and Consultancy for CHC Nurses
Supporting Agency Nurses Working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Complex Care
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and community nursing. We combine expert CHC training, specialist healthcare consultancy, and a vibrant, private community of CHC agency nurses to help you develop your career, improve patient outcomes and stay compliant with current standards.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network understands the daily pressures of agency work, the complexity of CHC funding and community care, and the need for a safe space to connect with colleagues who truly “get it”.
A Private Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive place to connect, relax and grow professionally. Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch 24-7-365 through confidential, invite-only social media groups and online forums.
Members openly share professional issues, case queries, best practice tips and real-world experiences in a safe, moderated space. Many nurses join for the peer support and stay for the friendships that often last for years.
We welcome new CHC, complex care and community agency nurses into our network and provide access to private social media groups, online meet-ups and live events designed specifically around the realities of CHC nursing.
Specialist Training for CHC, Complex Care and Community Nursing
To keep pace with an evolving healthcare landscape, agency nurses need continuous professional development that is relevant, practical and CHC-focused. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers targeted training courses and CPD sessions designed explicitly for nurses working in:
- NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
- Complex community care and long-term conditions
- Learning disability and autism services
- Care homes, supported living and domiciliary care
Our training covers a wide range of topics including care planning, CHC eligibility and decision support tools, documentation standards, legal and ethical frameworks, safeguarding, and community-based risk management. All sessions are practical, case-based and aligned with current NHS and regulatory guidance.
Courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurse trainers with extensive clinical and commissioning backgrounds, ensuring you gain confidence, competence and up-to-date knowledge to enhance your practice and career prospects.
Consultancy and Support for Healthcare Providers and Agencies
Alongside individual nurse development, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy services for healthcare organisations, nurse agencies and care providers delivering CHC-funded and complex care packages.
Our consultancy team provides expert guidance on:
- CHC process optimisation and workflow design
- Compliance and preparation for CQC inspections
- Clinical governance, audit and quality assurance
- Policy and procedure development for CHC and community services
- Service improvement and safe delegation within multidisciplinary teams
We help organisations interpret and implement CHC frameworks, reduce compliance risks and embed robust systems that support safe, person-centred care in community settings.
Pre-CQC Readiness and Quality Improvement
Our specialist consultants conduct pre-CQC assessments and mock inspections focused on CHC, community and complex care services. We review your policies, care records, care planning, risk assessments and staff training to identify gaps and provide clear, actionable recommendations.
This proactive approach supports providers and agencies to strengthen their governance, demonstrate regulatory compliance and continuously improve care quality for people with high and complex needs.
Transitions and Person‑Centred Community Care
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and supported living can be particularly challenging for people eligible for CHC. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers to manage safe and effective transfers of care through structured, person-centred transition planning.
We promote continuity of care, clear communication, robust handovers and risk management to minimise disruption for individuals and families. Our approach keeps the person at the centre, respecting their choices, preferences and goals at every stage of their healthcare journey.
Specialist Support in Learning Disabilities and Autism
Many CHC and complex care packages involve people with learning disabilities and/or autism. Our network includes nurses with advanced expertise in this field, who can advise on bespoke, person-centred care plans that promote independence, dignity and safety.
We encourage collaborative working between agency nurses, families, carers and wider multidisciplinary teams, using evidence-based best practice to shape environments and support that truly meet individual needs.
Expert Guidance on CHC, CHC Funding and Community DoLS Applications
Understanding the detail of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding, decision support tools, reviews and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) applications is crucial for nurses and providers working in community and complex care.
Through our training and peer network, we offer clear, nurse-friendly guidance on:
- CHC eligibility criteria and national frameworks
- Checklist completion and MDT assessments
- Best practice in documentation and evidence gathering
- Appeals, reviews and dispute resolution
- DoLS processes in community and care home settings
This specialist support empowers nurses to contribute effectively to CHC assessments, protect patients’ legal rights and ensure resources are allocated safely and appropriately.
CHC Events, Webinars and Workshops for Ongoing CPD
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular CHC-focused events, including webinars, workshops, study days and networking sessions. These events are designed to keep agency nurses and providers up to date with the latest policies, frameworks and clinical practice.
Attendees benefit from expert speakers, peer discussion, case-based learning and practical tools they can immediately apply in their roles. Our events also strengthen professional connections within the CHC nursing community, creating a strong shared voice for agency nurses.
Case Management and Coordination for High‑Need Patients
Effective case management is essential for people with complex, long-term conditions and CHC-funded packages. Through our consultancy and extended network, we support organisations to implement coordinated, person-centred care pathways.
Our approach promotes joined-up working between commissioners, providers, agency nurses and allied professionals, ensuring that clinical needs, risks and personal outcomes are consistently reviewed and managed.
