What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community and consultancy service created by nurses, for nurses, with a core membership of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK.
We provide a safe space to connect, share challenges, access expert guidance and grow your CHC knowledge through confidential, invite‑only social media groups, online discussions and regular events.
Many of our members build lifelong friendships and professional partnerships, staying in touch and supporting one another throughout their CHC careers.
Core Services at CHC Nurses Agency Network
Transition Support & Discharge Planning for CHC Patients
Safe transitions between hospital, community services and home care are critical in Continuing Healthcare, particularly for complex patients.
Our CHC‑experienced nurses and consultants offer guidance on transition planning, discharge coordination and communication between multidisciplinary teams to promote safety, comfort and continuity of care while reducing avoidable readmissions.
Pre‑CQC Support & Quality Assurance for CHC Providers
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports agencies, care providers and CHC teams preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections with focused advice rooted in real‑world practice.
We help you review documentation, pathways, risk management, safeguarding and CHC‑related care planning, offering practical recommendations so you can meet and exceed CQC expectations.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities (LD) within CHC
Many CHC‑funded individuals have Learning Disabilities and require carefully designed, person‑centred care and support plans.
Our network includes nurses with strong LD and complex‑needs experience who can advise on assessment, risk management, positive behaviour support and independence‑focused care planning within CHC frameworks.

We provide practical training on NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, Decision Support Tools (DST), checklist completion, appeal processes and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications.
Sessions are delivered by experienced CHC nurses who understand the realities of assessment, funding decisions and multi‑agency working, helping you strengthen your documentation, advocacy and clinical decision‑making.
Regular CHC Networking Events & Study Sessions
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events where nurses can learn, share experiences and stay up to date with CHC policy changes and best practice.
Workshops, webinars, Q&A sessions and peer‑learning forums focus on real cases, practical tools and current NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, helping you stay informed and connected.
Expert CHC Case Management & Consultancy
For organisations and teams, we offer CHC‑focused case management support and consultancy to optimise complex care packages, MDT coordination and family communication.
