CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Nurses
A Dedicated Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses in the UK
In the demanding world of nursing and Continuing Healthcare (CHC), having the right support, knowledge, and professional connections is vital.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community of CHC-experienced agency nurses and healthcare professionals, providing expert training, practical consultancy, peer support, and opportunities to grow your nursing career.
Our private network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connects nurses who understand the real pressures of frontline practice, complex funding pathways, and regulatory expectations.
Through regular events, invite-only social media groups, and tailored consultancy, we help nurses and organisations deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Safe, Supportive Space for Agency & CHC Nurses
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the emotional and physical demands of the role.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network has been created specifically for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and complex care settings, giving you access to peers who share your challenges, caseloads, and responsibilities.
Members stay connected 24/7/365 via confidential, invite-only social media groups where you can share professional issues, ask questions, access resources, and gain reassurance from colleagues who have walked the same path.
Many members build friendships that last for years, far beyond any single contract or placement.
Expert Continuing Healthcare Training & Consultancy
Alongside our strong community focus, we offer specialist CHC training and consultancy services designed to support both individual nurses and healthcare organisations.
Our experienced CHC professionals help you interpret national frameworks, refine assessment skills, and strengthen care planning within complex funding environments.
From CHC eligibility and assessment training to support with CQC readiness and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications, we equip you with the practical knowledge and confidence needed to navigate the full CHC pathway safely and effectively.
Regular Events, Workshops & Networking for CHC Nurses
We run regular events, workshops and meet-ups that bring our community of CHC agency nurses together, both online and in person.
These events are designed to support professional development, networking, and mental wellbeing, giving you space to reflect, recharge and learn alongside like-minded professionals.
Most of the nurses in our network keep in touch with each other between events, sharing opportunities, guidance and real-world insight into CHC practice and agency work.
We welcome new members into our network to join our private social media groups, attend events, and become part of our supportive community.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
1. Transition Support Services & Care Coordination
Safe Transitions Across Hospital, Community & Home Settings
Transitions between acute, community, and home-based care are high-risk points in the patient journey, especially for people with complex health needs and CHC funding.
Our network connects organisations with experienced CHC nurses who can support safe, efficient transitions that protect continuity of care.
We help develop structured, person-centred transition plans that prioritise patient safety, dignity, communication, and clear documentation, reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns.
2. Pre-CQC & Quality Assurance Support
Inspection Readiness for CHC & Complex Care Services
Meeting Care Quality Commission (CQC) expectations is essential for all providers, including those delivering CHC-funded packages and complex community care.
Through our network, you can access experienced CHC nurses and consultants who support pre-CQC assessments, documentation reviews, and quality improvement planning.
We help you identify gaps in care records, risk assessments, CHC process documentation, and governance systems, providing clear, actionable recommendations that align with CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and best practice standards.
3. Care & Support Planning for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Person-Centred Plans for LD & CHC-Eligible Individuals
Many CHC-funded individuals have learning disabilities, autism, and multiple long-term conditions that require highly personalised support.
Our CHC nurses are skilled in creating person-centred care and support plans that promote independence, safety, and quality of life.
We work alongside families, advocates, community teams and providers to ensure plans are holistic, evidence-based, and rights-focused, incorporating communication needs, behavioural strategies, mental capacity considerations and positive risk-taking.
4. CHC & Community DoL Application Process Training
Specialist Training on Eligibility, Funding & Legal Compliance
Understanding the NHS Continuing Healthcare National Framework and the community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) process is essential for nurses working in complex care.
We offer targeted training that covers checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), MDTs, appeals, and DoL applications in community settings.
Delivered by experienced CHC nurses, our courses build confidence in assessment, documentation, and legal compliance, helping staff to advocate effectively for patients and navigate funding pathways without unnecessary delay.
5. CHC-Focused Events, Webinars & Professional Networking
Stay Updated on CHC Policy, Practice & Opportunities
The CHC landscape changes regularly, with updates to national guidance, case law and local commissioning practice.
Through our events, webinars, and networking sessions, members can stay informed about current CHC policies, documentation standards, and clinical best practice.
Healthcare professionals gain practical insights into managing CHC caseloads, preparing for panel meetings, responding to challenges, and building sustainable careers in agency and CHC work.
These events are also a valuable opportunity to meet colleagues, mentors, and potential employers.
6. Expert CHC Case Management & Consultancy
Holistic Case Coordination for Complex Care Packages
Through the CHC Nurses Agency Network, organisations and families can access experienced case managers and CHC nurses who coordinate complex care packages across multiple providers and disciplines.
We support assessment, care planning, review, safeguarding, and multi-agency working, always ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks while focusing on meaningful outcomes and quality of life for the individual.
7. Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Confidential, Invite-Only Groups for CHC Nurses
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gain access to confidential, invite-only social media groups where professional issues, clinical dilemmas, and CHC questions can be shared safely.
This round-the-clock peer support helps nurses feel less isolated, offers rapid access to shared expertise, and creates a space where experiences can be discussed honestly, with respect for confidentiality and professional standards.
8. Career Development & Opportunities for Agency Nurses
