CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
A UK-Wide Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care nursing across the UK.
We bring together experienced agency nurses, provide expert CHC training and guidance, and support healthcare organisations with compliance, case management and care quality in all care settings.
Our network is designed to make professional life easier for CHC nurses while helping organisations deliver safe, effective and person-centred care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just a professional group – it is a trusted hub for CHC agency nursing professionals and healthcare providers who need specialist support with CHC processes, assessments and complex care delivery.
We provide a relaxed, supportive environment where only other nurses truly understand the demands, pressures and responsibilities of nursing, particularly in the field of Continuing Healthcare.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer 24/7 peer support through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular face-to-face and online events.
A Relaxed, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses
Working as an agency nurse in CHC can sometimes feel isolating.
Our network provides a safe place to share challenges, clinical questions, career concerns and professional issues with colleagues who genuinely understand.
Many nurses in our community become long-term friends, offering ongoing moral support, mentoring and shared learning throughout their careers.
Building Professional Contacts & Career Opportunities
Through our network, CHC nurses can build valuable professional connections with other agency nurses, managers and healthcare providers.
We help members develop their careers with access to training, CHC updates, role opportunities, and expert guidance on working in specialist CHC and complex care roles.
Healthcare organisations also benefit from access to a talented pool of knowledgeable CHC agency nurses and up-to-date insight into best practice.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a flexible range of training, consultancy and community services aimed at UK agency nurses, care homes, community providers and wider healthcare organisations.
From specialist CHC training and pre-CQC support to learning disability care planning and case management consultancy, we provide practical solutions that improve quality, safety and outcomes.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Care Teams
At the heart of our work is specialist Continuing Healthcare training designed for agency nurses, care staff and multi-disciplinary teams.

Courses can be delivered online or in person and are tailored to your organisation, care setting and staff experience levels.
Comprehensive Pre-CQC & Quality Compliance Support
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection, local authority review or NHS quality visit is often stressful.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC assessments and quality audits to help you identify strengths, address gaps and ensure robust compliance with regulatory standards.
Our consultancy support can include:

Effective, person-centred care planning is vital for individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and other complex health and social care needs.
Our experienced CHC nurses work with care teams, families and advocates to develop bespoke care and support plans that promote:
- Independence, dignity and maximised quality of life
- Clear communication strategies and reasonable adjustments
- Positive risk management and proactive behaviour support
- Holistic support across health, social, emotional and environmental needs
We ensure that care plans reflect current legal, clinical and safeguarding standards, while remaining truly person-led.
Guidance on CHC, Community DoL & Funding Applications
Navigating CHC funding applications, reviews and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes can be complex and time-consuming.
We provide targeted training and consultancy on:
- Completing CHC checklists, DSTs and review documentation accurately
- Understanding eligibility decisions, appeals and disputes
- Best practice in capacity assessments and Community DoL applications
- Collaborating effectively with ICBs, local authorities and MDTs
Our support helps staff feel confident and compliant when managing CHC and DoL processes, reducing avoidable delays and risks.

We run regular events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses and healthcare professionals together.
These include:
- Online and in-person CHC workshops and seminars
- Peer-led case discussion and reflective practice sessions
- Networking events to share experiences, advice and opportunities
- Updates on policy changes in CHC, Community DoL and adult social care
Our events are designed to keep members up to date with current guidance, legal changes and best practice, while building strong professional relationships.

For individuals with complex needs, effective case management and care coordination are essential to achieving safe, positive outcomes.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers expert input on:
- Developing integrated care plans across health and social care
- Coordinating multi-agency support between providers and professionals
- Risk management, safeguarding and escalation processes
- Supporting transitions between services or care settings
Our approach is person-centred and outcome-focused, ensuring care delivery is joined-up, safe and responsive to changing needs.

Within these groups, over 500 CHC agency nurses share:
- Professional issues and clinical questions 24/7, 365 days a year
