CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for agency nurses and healthcare providers working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) across the UK. Our mission is to equip nurses, case managers and organisations with the skills, knowledge and peer support they need to deliver outstanding, safe and compliant patient care. Through specialist CHC training, consultancy services and a thriving professional network, we help you navigate complex processes with confidence.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional demands of the role. That is why the CHC Nurses Agency Network combines expert clinical and regulatory guidance with a strong, supportive community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share challenges, advice and solutions 24/7 via confidential, invite‑only social media groups.
Why Choose CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Our team and wider network bring together years of frontline nursing experience in CHC, community care, case management, healthcare compliance and CQC regulatory standards. We understand the realities of agency work, the pressures on NHS and independent providers, and the complexity of CHC funding, assessments and transitions of care.
We offer:
- Specialist CHC expertise focused on real-world practice and up-to-date national guidance.
- Tailored support for nurses, managers and organisations, rather than one‑size‑fits‑all training.
- Continuous professional development through courses, events and shared peer learning.
- A supportive community where CHC nurses can relax, connect and grow their careers.
- National reach with online and on-site services available throughout the UK.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Providers
1. Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Planning
Seamless CHC Patient Transitions
Transfers between hospital, home and care settings are often the highest-risk points in a patient’s journey, particularly for those eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers in delivering safe, structured and person‑centred transitions that minimise disruption, reduce readmissions and maintain continuity of care.
Tailored Transition Planning & Coordination
We help develop individualised transition plans that clearly set out clinical needs, risk management, communication pathways and roles across teams. Our approach supports better clinical outcomes, protects providers from avoidable incidents and enhances patient and family satisfaction throughout the discharge and transition process.
2. Pre‑CQC Inspection Support & Compliance
Thorough Pre‑Inspection Assessments
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can be challenging for organisations delivering CHC‑funded care. We provide comprehensive pre‑CQC assessments that review your policies, documentation, care delivery, staffing, governance and CHC processes against current regulatory requirements.
Actionable Compliance Recommendations
Following our review, you receive clear, practical recommendations to strengthen compliance, improve record‑keeping and demonstrate safe, effective, person‑centred care. This targeted preparation builds confidence for inspection day and supports stronger CQC ratings for safety, effectiveness, responsiveness, care and leadership.
3. Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities in CHC
Person‑Centred Learning Disability Care Planning
The CHC Nurses Agency Network has particular expertise in supporting adults and young people with learning disabilities (LD) who receive or may be eligible for CHC funding. We work with nurses, families and multi‑disciplinary teams to develop person‑centred care and support plans that promote independence, dignity, choice and safety.
Evidence‑Based, Holistic LD Support
Using current best practice, national frameworks and safeguarding guidance, we help ensure that individuals with learning disabilities receive holistic, tailored support that addresses their physical, emotional, behavioural and social needs, while fully reflecting their CHC eligibility and funded care package.
4. CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Comprehensive CHC Training Programmes
We deliver specialist training for nurses and healthcare professionals on the CHC eligibility process, Decision Support Tool (DST), reviews, appeals and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) applications. Our courses cover legal frameworks, assessment skills, documentation, consent, capacity and best‑interest decision‑making.
Building Skills, Confidence & Compliance
Training sessions are practical, interactive and scenario‑based, enabling participants to apply learning immediately in practice. Nurses and teams leave with increased confidence in managing complex CHC processes, improved documentation quality and stronger compliance with legal and regulatory standards.
5. CHC Events, Networking & Professional Community
Workshops, Seminars & Peer Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events—including workshops, webinars, seminars and informal meet‑ups—to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together. These events offer professional development, case discussion, problem‑solving and networking in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere where you can connect with colleagues who understand your role.
Staying Current with Policy & Regulatory Changes
Our events and online community help you stay up to date with evolving CHC policy, NHS frameworks, DoLS/Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) updates and CQC requirements. By learning directly from experienced CHC professionals, you can continuously refine your practice and maintain compliance in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.
6. Case Management Excellence in Continuing Healthcare
Person‑Centred CHC Case Management
We support providers and nursing teams in delivering high‑quality CHC case management that is truly person‑centred. Our guidance focuses on comprehensive assessments, robust care planning, risk management, multi‑agency coordination and meaningful involvement of patients and families in all decisions.
Optimising Resources & Ensuring Regulatory Compliance
Effective case management does more than coordinate care; it optimises resources, reduces duplication and ensures full compliance with legal, safeguarding and regulatory requirements. We help you implement systems and documentation that demonstrate safe, consistent, high‑quality care for people with complex, long‑term conditions under CHC.
The CHC Agency Nurses Community: Support, Connection & Career Growth
Beyond formal training and consultancy, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is first and foremost a community of nurses. We know how isolating agency work and complex CHC caseloads can feel, so we have created a space where you can relax, de‑compress and connect with colleagues who genuinely understand your day‑to‑day challenges.
We host private, invite‑only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nurses share professional issues, clinical questions, resources and moral support 24/7, 365 days a year. Many members form lasting friendships, continue to support one another between contracts and build networks that open new professional opportunities across the UK.
New members are warmly welcomed into our online groups and in‑person events, where you can:

- Discuss complex cases with experienced peers and learn from real‑life examples.
- Hear about new roles, contracts and career opportunities from within the network.
