CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Training, Support & Community
A Professional Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Nurses and Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for nurses and healthcare organisations working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care.
We connect agency nurses, case managers and healthcare providers, offering expert CHC training, peer support, consultancy and events designed to improve patient outcomes and make professional life easier.
With a strong focus on clinical excellence, compliance and continuous professional development, we help nurses and organisations deliver safe, effective and person-centred care across a range of settings.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invite-only professional network of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK.
We provide a safe space to share knowledge, ask questions, debrief after challenging shifts and support each other 24/7/365 through confidential online groups and regular events.
Many members build long‑term friendships and professional connections, creating a strong community where only another nurse truly understands the pressures and realities of CHC nursing.
Comprehensive CHC Training & Professional Development
We deliver specialist training programmes tailored to nurses working in CHC, community nursing, case management and complex care.
Our courses support nurses at all stages, from those new to Continuing Healthcare to highly experienced practitioners who want to refine their assessment, documentation and advocacy skills.
CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Care Planning Training
Our Continuing Healthcare training helps nurses understand and apply the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, including:
- CHC eligibility criteria and Decision Support Tool (DST)
- Best practice for assessments and MDT meetings
- Writing robust clinical rationales and evidence-based reports
- Person-centred CHC care planning and review processes
Training is delivered through interactive sessions, case studies and practical workshops so nurses gain the confidence to manage complex CHC cases in real-world practice.
Community DoLS & Legal Compliance Training
We offer focused training on Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications, the Mental Capacity Act and related legal frameworks that impact CHC and community care.
This ensures nurses are confident in capacity assessments, best interest decisions, documentation and safeguarding processes, supporting both patient rights and organisational compliance.
Support for Organisations: Consultancy, Compliance & Quality
In addition to supporting individual nurses, the CHC Nurses Agency Network works closely with care providers, agencies, CHC teams and community services to strengthen quality and governance.
Pre‑CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement Support
Our experienced CHC and community nurses carry out pre‑CQC assessments of policies, care plans, documentation and day‑to‑day practice.
We identify strengths and gaps, provide targeted recommendations and support organisations to embed robust clinical governance, reducing the risk of non‑compliance during CQC inspections.
Specialist Case Management & Complex Care Consultancy
Our network includes nurses with extensive experience in case management and complex community care, including CHC‑funded packages.
We can support with care coordination, bespoke care plans, risk assessments, incident review and service development, helping teams deliver safe, consistent and cost‑effective care.
Person-Centred Transition Support & Learning Disability Care
Transitions between care settings are often high‑risk periods for patients and families, especially in CHC and complex community care.
Safe Transitions Between Hospital, Home & Community Settings
We support nurses and organisations to design safe, person‑centred transition plans when individuals move between hospital, residential care, supported living and home‑based packages.
This includes clear communication, medication safety, risk management and continuity of care, reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns.
Learning Disabilities (LD) CHC Care & Support Planning
Many members of our network are specialists in Learning Disabilities (LD) and autism within CHC and community settings.
We promote person‑centred, rights‑based care planning that focuses on independence, communication, positive risk‑taking and quality of life, while maintaining safety and compliance with legal frameworks.
Events, Networking & Peer Support for CHC Nurses
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring CHC and agency nurses together for learning, reflection and connection.
Our events include webinars, workshops, Q&A sessions, peer supervision groups and informal meet‑ups, all designed to help nurses stay updated and feel less isolated in demanding roles.
Most nurses in our network keep in touch regularly, and many become friends and long‑term professional allies, creating a supportive and collaborative community.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Professional Discussion
New members are welcomed into our private, invite-only social media groups, where around 500 CHC agency nurses share:
- Clinical queries and case discussions (with confidentiality respected)
- Updates on CHC policy, frameworks and best practice
- Practical tips on documentation, time management and work–life balance
- Advice on contracts, agencies and professional boundaries
These groups operate 24/7/365, giving nurses instant access to peers who truly understand the pressures and responsibilities of CHC nursing.
