CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering Continuing Healthcare Nurses with Expert Support, Training and a Strong Professional Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare organisations. We combine expert CHC training, tailored healthcare consultancy and an active professional network to enhance clinical practice, improve patient outcomes and support nurse wellbeing.
Created and run by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the realities of agency work, CHC caseloads and the pressures of modern healthcare. We help you build confidence in CHC assessments, funding processes, case management and CQC compliance, while also offering a safe, confidential space to connect with peers 24/7/365.
Our holistic approach blends practical education, strategic guidance and peer-to-peer support so that both individual nurses and healthcare providers can meet evolving standards, manage complexity and deliver high-quality, person-centred care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy or training provider – it is a specialist community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK who support one another, share knowledge and grow together.
We host regular events, workshops and online meetups, and we maintain several confidential, invite-only social media groups where members can openly discuss professional issues, ask questions, share experiences and access peer support.
Many nurses in our network form lasting professional and personal relationships, building a trusted circle of colleagues who truly understand the unique pressures of CHC and agency nursing work.
We welcome new members to join our private CHC networking groups and benefit from a safe space to learn, debrief and collaborate – at any time of day or night.
Comprehensive CHC Training Programmes for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Teams
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Skills & Knowledge Development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist CHC training designed to build competence and confidence in all aspects of NHS Continuing Healthcare. Our practical courses cover checklist and DST assessments, eligibility criteria, evidence gathering, care planning and funding pathways.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who have worked extensively in NHS and independent settings, and is suitable for both newly transitioning agency nurses and experienced clinicians seeking to deepen or refresh their CHC expertise.
We focus on real-world scenarios, documentation standards, robust clinical rationales and effective multi-disciplinary communication to support safe, lawful and person-centred decision making.
Pre-CQC Assessment, Compliance & Quality Assurance Support
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be challenging, especially for services that rely heavily on agency nurses or deliver complex CHC-funded care. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC assessment and quality assurance consultancy tailored to your service.
Our specialist team reviews your policies, record-keeping, care plans, CHC documentation, risk assessments and overall care delivery to identify strengths and gaps against CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs).
We provide clear, actionable recommendations, targeted training and practical tools to help your organisation demonstrate compliance, safety, effectiveness and person-centred care during inspections and ongoing practice.
Learning Disabilities, Autism & Complex Needs: Person-Centred Care & Support Planning
Many CHC-funded individuals have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism or complex physical and mental health needs. Our network includes nurses with deep expertise in LD care, PBS-informed approaches and robust support planning.
We support organisations and nurses to develop person-centred, outcome-focused care and support plans that promote independence, dignity, safety and meaningful quality of life.
Our guidance and training ensure that daily living support, risk management, communication needs, behavioural support strategies and clinical interventions are aligned and clearly documented, supporting both best practice and regulatory compliance.
Specialist CHC & Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Training & Support
CHC & Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Application Process Training
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers dedicated training on CHC and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) application processes, designed for nurses, case managers and healthcare teams working in community and care home settings.
Our courses clarify eligibility frameworks, legal principles, documentation standards, best interests processes and interface with CHC funding, helping professionals to submit accurate, timely and legally robust applications.
Using case studies and scenario-based learning, we help nurses understand the practical realities of DoL in the community, avoid common pitfalls and work confidently within current legal and regulatory expectations.
Expert CHC Case Management for Seamless, Person-Centred Care
Our network provides access to expert CHC case management support for organisations and individuals seeking to optimise complex care packages. Our specialist CHC nurses coordinate with multi-disciplinary teams (MDTs) to ensure care plans remain appropriate, holistic and up to date.
We focus on person-centred outcomes, risk management, resource optimisation, legal compliance and clear communication between all stakeholders involved in the person’s care.
The goal is to enable safe, seamless, joined-up care that supports independence, protects rights and delivers the best possible quality of life, while also ensuring that documentation and decision-making processes stand up to scrutiny.
Events, Community & Professional Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC-Focused Events, Workshops & Webinars
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in a wide range of CHC-related events, including online webinars, in-person workshops, case discussion sessions and peer-led learning groups.
These events cover NHS Continuing Healthcare policy updates, best practice in assessments, complex case reviews, CQC expectations and professional wellbeing, ensuring our members stay informed and confident in their roles.
Attendees benefit from practical tools, real examples and the opportunity to ask questions directly to experienced CHC professionals and fellow nurses.
A Supportive Community That Understands Agency Nursing
We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressure, workload and emotional demands of nursing – especially in agency and CHC roles. Our network offers a place to relax, debrief and feel understood by colleagues facing the same realities.
Through our private, invite-only social media groups, members share professional issues, seek advice, celebrate successes and support each other around the clock, every day of the year.
Many nurses form strong, long-term friendships and professional alliances, making the CHC Nurses Agency Network a valuable source of peer support, mentorship and collaboration.
