CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Expert CHC Nursing Support
Connecting CHC Agency Nurses with Professional Development, Peer Support & Consultancy
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service for nurses and healthcare organisations working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community settings.
We bring together over 500 experienced CHC agency nurses, providing expert support, training, peer networking and practical resources to improve care quality, compliance and professional wellbeing.
Whether you are an individual CHC nurse, a care provider, or a commissioning body, our network is designed to make professional life easier, enhance specialist knowledge and support consistently high standards of patient care.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Professional Peer Network You Can Rely On
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of nursing.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides a safe, confidential space where CHC nurses can connect, share experiences and access real-time peer support.
Our invite-only social media groups are active 24/7/365, allowing members to discuss professional issues, seek advice on complex CHC cases and share best practice in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.
Building Lasting Professional & Personal Connections
Many of our members form strong friendships and long-term professional relationships through the network.
We host regular online and in-person events, creating opportunities for CHC agency nurses to meet, collaborate and grow their careers together.
New members are warmly welcomed into our private groups and community events, helping agency nurses feel less isolated and more connected to like-minded professionals across the UK.
Expert CHC Training & Professional Development
Specialist Training in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers targeted training programmes to help nurses and healthcare teams build confidence in NHS Continuing Healthcare processes, eligibility assessments, documentation and case presentation.
Our trainers are experienced CHC practitioners who understand the realities of frontline work and commissioning expectations, ensuring training is practical, current and aligned with national frameworks.
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) Application Training
We provide clear, step-by-step training on community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) application processes, supporting nurses and providers to meet legal requirements and safeguard patient rights.
Training can be tailored for individuals, teams or organisations, covering documentation standards, risk assessment, MCA considerations and best-interest decision-making in community and CHC settings.
Consultancy for CHC Providers & Healthcare Organisations
Pre-CQC and Quality Readiness Support
For care providers and organisations delivering CHC-funded care, we offer consultancy and pre-inspection support to help prepare for CQC visits and local quality reviews.
Our experienced consultants review documentation, policies, care plans and governance processes with a focus on CHC-specific requirements.
We provide practical, action-focused feedback to strengthen compliance, clinical safety, person-centred practice and evidence for regulatory inspections.
Service Improvement & Best Practice in CHC Care
Our consultancy helps providers embed best practice across CHC pathways, from assessment and admission through to review, discharge and community follow-up.
We support multidisciplinary teams to streamline processes, reduce delays and improve patient and family experiences of Continuing Healthcare.
Specialist Care Planning for Learning Disabilities in CHC
Person-Centred Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC Nurses Agency Network members specialise in supporting individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) who receive, or may be eligible for, NHS Continuing Healthcare funding.
We promote highly individualised, person-centred care planning that focuses on dignity, independence and meaningful outcomes.
Our network collaborates with families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams to design holistic support plans that address physical health, mental wellbeing, communication needs, behaviour, risk and daily living skills.
Evidence-Based, Rights-Focused Approaches
Using current guidelines and research, our members champion evidence-based care planning that balances safety with independence and choice.
We encourage use of positive behavioural support, reasonable adjustments and proactive health monitoring to maximise quality of life for people with LD in CHC pathways.
Comprehensive CHC Case Management Support
Person-Centred CHC Case Coordination
Through our network of experienced CHC nurses, we can support case management and coordination for individuals with complex needs in community and CHC settings.
This includes holistic assessment, person-centred care planning, risk management and ongoing review.
Our aim is to ensure that care is safe, consistent and aligned with the individual’s goals, while also meeting statutory, contractual and commissioning requirements.
Supporting Multidisciplinary & Cross-Agency Working
CHC Nurses Agency Network promotes effective communication between nurses, GPs, therapists, social care, providers and CHC teams.
By supporting joined-up working and clear documentation, we help to minimise duplication, avoid service gaps and improve continuity of care.
CHC Events, Webinars & Networking Opportunities
Stay Up to Date with CHC Policy & Practice
We run regular CHC-related events, webinars, workshops and informal meet-ups to keep nurses and organisations informed about changes in CHC policy, funding rules, case law and best practice.
These events offer practical learning, case discussions and Q&A sessions with experienced CHC professionals, helping members strengthen their knowledge and skills.

Many members build strong professional networks through our activities, opening doors to new opportunities, contracts and collaborations.
