CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses
UK-Wide CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency nursing professionals across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy services, and a supportive professional network to help nurses grow their careers, improve patient outcomes, and stay compliant with national standards.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network understands the realities of agency work, CHC assessments, and the pressures of frontline care – and provides the tools, knowledge, and peer support you need to thrive.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invite-only community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, alongside a range of specialist consultancy and training services aimed at:
- Improving CHC knowledge, skills and confidence
- Supporting best practice in CHC assessments, funding and care planning
- Offering case management and multi-agency liaison support
- Creating a safe space to share professional issues 24/7/365
- Connecting CHC agency nurses through events, workshops and online groups
Our aim is to make agency nurses’ professional lives easier while enhancing standards of CHC delivery for patients and their families.
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A Place to Connect, Share & Unwind
Agency nursing can be isolating, but in our network you are never on your own.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a relaxed, supportive space where CHC nurses can talk openly about work, share challenges, and celebrate successes with colleagues who genuinely understand nursing pressures.
Private Social Media Groups & Ongoing Peer Support
Members gain access to confidential, invite-only social media groups where professional issues are discussed daily, resources are shared, and advice is available around the clock.
Many nurses in our network build long-term friendships and maintain contact for years, creating a stable professional support system wherever they are working.
Regular Events to Bring CHC Nurses Together
We run regular events, meet-ups, workshops and online sessions designed to keep CHC nurses connected, informed and motivated.
From informal get-togethers to structured training days, our events help you expand your professional network and stay up-to-date with CHC best practice.
Key CHC Services for Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Planning
Safe, well-managed transitions are essential in Continuing Healthcare, especially for complex patients moving between hospital, home, and community settings.
Our CHC specialists support nurses and providers to create robust transition plans that prioritise safety, continuity of care, and patient dignity, reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding risks.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Assurance Support
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can be challenging for services using agency CHC nurses.
We offer pre-CQC assessments, auditing policies, documentation, CHC pathways and clinical practice, then provide clear, actionable recommendations to help organisations demonstrate safe, effective and person-centred care.
Learning Disabilities: Personalised Care & Support Planning
Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) often require highly personalised, person-centred care within CHC frameworks.
We support nurses and services to develop individualised LD care and support plans that promote independence, wellbeing and choice, while aligning with CHC eligibility and safeguarding requirements.
Specialist CHC Training & Community DOL Guidance
Comprehensive Continuing Healthcare Training Programmes
Our CHC training courses are designed for agency nurses, case managers and healthcare providers who need a solid, practical understanding of:
- CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework
- Completion of checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs)
- Best practice in multidisciplinary assessments
- Care planning, reviews and funding processes
- Documentation standards to support robust CHC decisions
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and can be tailored for new staff induction, refresher sessions or advanced workshops for experienced practitioners.
Community DOL Applications & Legal Compliance
Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) in community settings is a complex, evolving area that many nurses and providers find challenging.
We provide clear guidance and training on Community DOL applications, helping teams understand legal thresholds, complete documentation correctly, and submit timely, defensible applications in line with Department of Health and Social Care expectations.
Staying Up-to-Date with CHC Policies & the National Framework
CHC guidance and related legislation continue to develop, and agency nurses need to remain current to practise safely and effectively.
Our CHC update workshops, webinars and resources ensure nurses and services are kept informed of changes to the National Framework, CQC expectations, safeguarding guidance and best practice in CHC decision-making.
Events, Networking & Professional Development
Learning Events Focused on CHC Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts specialist CHC events including seminars, study days and online learning sessions.
These events cover real-world CHC topics such as complex case management, documentation for funding panels, multi-agency working and ethical decision-making in Continuing Healthcare.
Connecting CHC Nurses Across the UK
Our events and online spaces bring together CHC nurses, case managers and senior clinicians from across the country.
This creates ongoing opportunities for networking, mentoring and peer learning, helping agency nurses build strong professional relationships that support long-term career development.
Case Management & Multi-Agency CHC Support
Person-Centred CHC Case Management
We support providers and commissioners with person-centred case management in complex CHC packages, ensuring that care is aligned with individual needs, preferences and legal entitlements.
Our approach focuses on holistic assessment, risk management, resource optimisation and ongoing review to maintain safe and sustainable care arrangements.
Coordinating Multi-Agency CHC Care
Effective CHC delivery often involves multiple stakeholders, including ICBs, local authorities, community teams and care providers.
We help coordinate multi-agency communication and decision-making, supporting CHC nurses to work collaboratively and reduce fragmentation in care pathways.
Monitoring, Review & Continuous Improvement
Regular review of CHC packages is essential to respond to changing needs and maintain eligibility.
Our CHC specialists assist with structured review processes, outcome monitoring and documentation, ensuring that care remains appropriate, defensible and focused on the best possible quality of life for patients.
