CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Community, Training and Consultancy for CHC Nurses
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community for nurses and healthcare professionals working in or around NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care in the community. We bring together agency nurses, case managers and healthcare organisations to provide expert CHC training, consultancy, peer support and resources that improve patient outcomes and professional practice.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses, we offer a safe, professional space to connect, share experiences and access up‑to‑date guidance on CHC assessments, care planning, community DoLS, pre‑CQC preparation and complex care delivery. Our aim is to make your professional life easier, more supported and better informed.
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Peer Support, Networking and Private Groups
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the demands, decisions and emotional load of the job, especially in complex Continuing Healthcare and community settings. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a place to relax, de‑stress and connect with others who understand exactly what your day looks like.
We host confidential, invite‑only social media groups and online spaces where members can share professional issues and support each other 24/7/365. Many of our agency nurses form long‑term friendships and strong professional collaborations that continue for years.
Events, Meet‑Ups and Ongoing Community Engagement
We run regular CHC-focused events, workshops and informal meet‑ups to bring our community together. These events are designed to combine learning, networking and wellbeing, so that nurses can grow their knowledge while taking time to connect with colleagues facing similar challenges.
Most nurses in our network keep in regular contact, sharing updates on policy changes, real‑world CHC scenarios and best practice in community and complex care. New members are always welcome to join our private social media groups and events to become part of our supportive CHC agency nurse community.
Specialist Healthcare Training for CHC and Complex Care Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training and Skills Development
Our training programmes are tailored for CHC agency nurses, community nurses, care coordinators and professionals involved in CHC assessments, reviews and ongoing care. We cover practical topics such as CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DST), documentation standards, multi‑agency working, and effective advocacy for patients and families.
Courses are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand the realities of agency work and community care, providing real‑world examples, case studies and practical frameworks you can use immediately in your practice.
Training on Care Planning, Care Transitions and Community Practice
Safe, person‑centred care transitions between hospital, home, and community settings are critical in CHC. We offer focused training to help nurses coordinate seamless handovers, uphold high standards of safety, dignity and communication, and manage complex care packages in the community.
Our sessions deepen skills in holistic care planning, risk assessment, MDT collaboration and documentation, so that agency nurses can lead and support transitions that protect patients and reassure families.
Expert Consultancy for CHC Providers and Healthcare Organisations
Pre‑CQC Assessments, Quality Assurance and Compliance
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy support for care providers, community services and CHC teams preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections and quality reviews. We undertake pre‑CQC assessments that benchmark your current practices against regulatory requirements and best practice standards in CHC and complex care.
Our feedback is clear, practical and actionable, helping you strengthen documentation, governance, care planning, safeguarding, capacity and DoLS processes, and everyday practice so that you are inspection‑ready and consistently compliant.
Person‑Centred Care and Support Planning in the Community
We specialise in supporting organisations caring for people with complex needs, Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, mental health conditions and long‑term conditions under CHC. Our consultancy helps you design and embed person‑centred, strengths‑based care and support plans that promote independence, choice and dignity.
Using evidence‑based approaches and the lived experience of our network, we help teams develop care plans that enhance quality of life while maintaining safety, legal compliance and robust clinical governance in community and home‑based settings.
Specialist Services in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
CHC and Community DoLS Application Process Training
Our specialised courses on CHC and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) are designed for professionals navigating complex legal and clinical frameworks in the community. We cover eligibility assessments, best interests decisions, legal documentation, MCA compliance and effective collaboration with local authorities and CCG/ICB teams.
This training builds confidence in managing complex CHC and DoLS cases, reducing risk for organisations and improving safeguards and outcomes for people receiving care.
CHC‑Focused Events, Workshops and Knowledge Sharing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly hosts and participates in conferences, webinars, workshops and peer‑learning events focused on CHC and complex care. These events provide practical updates on national frameworks, policy changes, commissioning trends and frontline practice.
Attendees gain access to up‑to‑date CHC knowledge, opportunities to ask questions, and the chance to network with other CHC professionals who face the same challenges in their day‑to‑day work.
Expert Case Management and Complex Care Support
Through our expert network, we can support case management for CHC‑funded individuals, focusing on holistic, coordinated and person‑centred care. Our case management approach covers clinical assessment, care coordination, risk management, resource optimisation and liaison with multidisciplinary teams.
This ensures that patients experience streamlined, consistent care that meets both their clinical and emotional needs, while organisations maintain strong compliance with CHC frameworks, MCA, DoLS and wider regulatory standards.
