CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community
Connecting CHC agency nurses with expert training, consultancy and a strong professional community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for nurses and healthcare professionals working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care, and complex needs settings across the UK.
We combine specialist CHC training and consultancy with a thriving professional network, helping agency nurses and care providers stay compliant, improve outcomes, and feel genuinely supported by people who understand the realities of nursing.
Our core focus includes CHC funding assessments, care transitions, pre-CQC inspection preparation, and person-centred support planning, while our private community enables nurses to share experiences, clinical insights, and practical advice 24/7.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals who collaborate, learn, and support each other through confidential invite-only social media groups and regular events.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional demands, and complexity of frontline care; our network provides a safe space to connect with peers who share the same challenges and commitment to high-quality patient care.
We run regular online and in-person events, share best practice resources, and offer expert CHC consultancy and training so that you can advance your career, improve your confidence in CHC processes, and feel less isolated in your role.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Seamless Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Discharge Support
Care transitions are high‑risk points for patients and challenging for busy clinical teams, especially within CHC and community pathways.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports safe transfers of care from hospital to home, care homes, or community settings, with structured guidance that prioritises continuity of care, safety and communication across all agencies involved.
Our approach helps reduce avoidable readmissions, safeguarding concerns and delays, while improving the patient and family experience through clear planning and person-centred coordination.
Pre‑CQC Inspection Reviews & Quality Improvement Support
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be overwhelming for providers delivering CHC packages or complex care.
We offer pre‑CQC inspection assessments to review your policies, documentation, governance, staffing, and care records, giving you a clear, actionable picture of where you stand against regulatory requirements.
Our CHC‑experienced nurses and consultants provide practical recommendations that help you evidence compliance, improve quality, and approach inspections with confidence.
Personalised Learning Disability (LD) Care & Support Planning
Supporting individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) within CHC and community services demands person‑centred, strengths‑based planning.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps design and review individualised LD care and support plans that promote choice, independence, safety, and dignity in all settings.
We work collaboratively with families, MDTs and carers to ensure that communication, behaviour support, health needs, and social inclusion are all addressed holistically.
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses & Multidisciplinary Teams
CHC Funding & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare funding, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), checklists, and Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) is essential for nurses involved in complex care planning.
We provide structured, practical training that breaks down the CHC eligibility criteria, evidencing requirements, and application processes so nurses can contribute confidently and effectively.
Our courses are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and are suitable for agency nurses, case managers, care home nurses and community teams seeking to strengthen their CHC knowledge and documentation skills.
CHC‑Focused Events, Webinars & Workshops
The CHC landscape changes quickly, with regular updates to guidance, commissioning approaches, and best practice.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and promotes CHC‑focused events including webinars, workshops, Q&A sessions and networking meetings to keep members up to date and connected.
These events are valuable opportunities to ask real‑world questions, share case experiences, and learn directly from CHC experts and senior clinicians.
Expert CHC Case Management & Complex Case Support
Effective case management is critical for delivering safe, person‑centred CHC packages that meet both clinical and psychosocial needs.
We offer case management consultancy to support complex CHC cases, helping teams coordinate MDT input, risk management, care planning, and review processes.
Our CHC‑experienced professionals work alongside nurses, families and commissioners to improve communication, documentation and decision‑making, leading to better outcomes and smoother care pathways.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support 24/7
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs confidential, invite‑only social media groups where agency nurses can talk openly about professional issues, clinical dilemmas, and day‑to‑day challenges.
Our members share resources, job leads, policy updates, reflective practice insights and emotional support, creating a genuinely collaborative environment that is active 24‑7‑365.
Many nurses build long‑term friendships and mentoring relationships through the network, helping to combat isolation and burnout in agency and community roles.
Regular Meet‑Ups, Networking & Career Development
We organise regular events – both online and in person – designed to bring CHC nurses together to learn, relax, and connect.
These sessions provide a chance to network with peers, discuss real CHC cases and documentation, and explore pathways into advanced practice, leadership and specialist roles.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, our network is a place to grow your confidence, expand your knowledge, and take control of your professional development.
