CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Specialist Partner in Continuing Healthcare
Connecting, Supporting and Developing CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex community care across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy support, and a thriving peer network to help nurses build confidence, stay compliant and enhance patient outcomes.
Our private community gives CHC agency nurses a space to relax, connect and share with others who truly understand the pressures and responsibilities of CHC nursing.
Alongside this, our structured programmes help you develop your knowledge in areas such as CHC assessments, community DoLS, complex care transitions and person-centred planning.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide community of over 500 CHC agency nurses who share best practice, support one another, and access specialist education tailored to Continuing Healthcare.
Members connect via confidential, invite-only social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and ongoing professional conversations about CHC, CQC expectations and community practice.
Many of our nurses build long-term friendships and professional relationships that support them throughout their careers in CHC and complex care.
Specialist CHC Training for UK Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Community DoLS Courses
We provide specialist training designed specifically for agency nurses working in CHC settings, covering eligibility assessments, care planning, funding processes and legal frameworks.
Our CHC and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) sessions help you understand and apply the National Framework, documentation standards and best practice in community settings.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, giving you practical, real-world insight to improve your professional confidence and clinical decision-making.
CQC Readiness, Governance & Compliance Support
Agency nurses frequently work across multiple providers, each with different CQC requirements, policies and procedures.
Our sessions on CQC readiness and clinical governance help you understand what inspectors look for, how to document care safely, and how to work effectively within different organisational frameworks.
This focus on regulatory compliance supports you to protect your registration, meet professional standards and contribute positively to inspection outcomes wherever you are placed.
Training on Transitions, Complex Cases & Person-Centred Care
Transitions between hospital, home, and community placements can be particularly complex for CHC-funded patients and the nurses supporting them.
Our training explores how to manage safe transfers of care, reduce risk, communicate effectively with multidisciplinary teams and maintain continuity for individuals with complex needs.
We place strong emphasis on person-centred planning, especially for people with Learning Disabilities, autism and long-term conditions, promoting dignity, independence and quality of life.
Peer Support, Networking & Professional Development
Private Online Community for CHC Agency Nurses
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our private, invite-only social media community, available 24/7/365.
Within these groups, agency nurses openly share professional issues, clinical questions, policy updates and practical tips in a safe, moderated environment.
This continuous dialogue helps members feel less isolated, particularly when working alone in community roles, and offers immediate peer-to-peer support when challenging situations arise.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Webinars
We run regular virtual and in-person events to bring CHC nurses together from across the UK.
These include educational webinars, workshops, networking evenings and specialist CHC discussion forums, all focused on real-world practice in Continuing Healthcare.
Our events are a chance to relax, connect and learn, helping you build a strong professional network and keep up-to-date with current CHC and community care expectations.
Career Support & Professional Growth for Agency Nurses
Being an agency nurse does not mean sacrificing professional development.
Through our network, you gain access to mentorship, guidance, shared resources and signposting to opportunities aligned with your CHC skills and interests.
We help you plan your career development in Continuing Healthcare, whether you’re newly transitioning into CHC or are an established specialist looking to expand your portfolio.
Consultancy & Support for CHC Practice
Best Practice in CHC Care Planning & Documentation
Our community and training offer guidance on robust CHC care planning, from holistic assessments to clear, outcome-focused care plans and review processes.
We share evidence-based approaches to documentation that support eligibility decisions, uphold patient rights and demonstrate safe, person-centred care.
Support with Complex CHC Cases & Transitions
CHC Nurses Agency Network members can discuss complex clinical and ethical scenarios within our private forums, gaining insight from experienced peers.
This collaborative approach supports safer decision-making in areas such as risk management, MCA/DoLS, safeguarding and high-risk transitions.
Keeping Up to Date with CHC Policy & Framework Changes
We actively monitor developments in NHS Continuing Healthcare policy, National Framework updates, CQC guidance and related legal changes.
Through events, posts and shared resources, we help you stay informed and translate policy changes into everyday practice as an agency nurse.
