CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Support, Training and Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Connecting and Supporting CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We specialise in CHC training, consultancy, case management support and professional networking that helps nurses build confidence, stay compliant and deliver outstanding patient care.
Our network brings together hundreds of experienced CHC agency nurses who understand the realities, pressures and rewards of nursing. Through regular events, private online groups and expert-led education, we help you expand your knowledge, develop your CHC career and access peer support whenever you need it.
Whether you are an individual CHC agency nurse or a healthcare organisation looking to strengthen your CHC provision, CHC Nurses Agency Network offers practical, evidence-based support designed to improve patient outcomes, regulatory compliance and professional wellbeing.
A Thriving Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Supportive Network of Over 500 CHC Agency Nursing Professionals
Our private network connects a core community of around 500 CHC agency nurses through confidential, invite-only social media groups and online spaces. Members share real-world experiences, clinical queries, policy updates and professional advice 24/7, 365 days a year.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands nursing. Our community provides a safe space to discuss complex cases, workload pressures and CHC-specific challenges with peers who genuinely relate to your daily reality.
Events, Meet-Ups and Long-Term Professional Relationships
We run regular online and in-person events to bring CHC agency nurses together for education, networking and wellbeing. Many nurses form lasting professional friendships and support networks that continue throughout their careers.
From informal meet-ups to structured workshops and CHC-focused seminars, our events are designed to help you relax, connect and grow while staying up to date with the latest CHC developments and best practice.
Comprehensive Support for Healthcare Transitions
Seamless Patient Transitions Across Care Settings
Transitions in care – such as moving from hospital to home, care home to community, or between specialist services – can be high risk for patients and stressful for staff. Our experienced CHC nurses provide expert oversight of complex care transitions, supporting agency nurses and organisations to plan and coordinate safe, person-centred moves.
We help develop individualised transition plans that prioritise clinical safety, dignity and continuity of care, ensuring the patient’s needs remain central at every stage of the journey.
Reducing Readmissions and Improving Continuity of Care
By promoting clear communication, robust documentation and effective multidisciplinary collaboration, our transition support reduces avoidable hospital readmissions and delays in care. We assist nurses and providers in identifying risks early and implementing appropriate support.
This targeted approach helps healthcare teams deliver safer, more efficient transitions, improving patient outcomes and supporting families and carers through periods of change.
Pre-CQC Assessments and Compliance Support
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) Inspections
For healthcare organisations that rely on CHC agency nurses, preparing for CQC inspections can be challenging. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC assessment and consultancy services to help you identify gaps, strengthen your systems and evidence high-quality care.
Our specialists review policies, procedures, clinical documentation, CHC processes and safeguarding practices against current CQC standards, ensuring your organisation and nursing workforce are inspection-ready.
Practical Recommendations and Ongoing Improvement
Following our review, you receive clear, actionable feedback with prioritised recommendations that are realistic and tailored to your service. We focus on improving safety, effectiveness, responsiveness, leadership and person-centred care.
By partnering with CHC Nurses Agency Network, providers can strengthen governance, support their agency nurses more effectively and build confidence in achieving positive CQC outcomes.
Person-Centred Support for Learning Disabilities (LD)
Specialist LD Care and Support Planning
Our CHC nurses have extensive experience in supporting individuals with learning disabilities (LD) who require complex health and social care. We develop bespoke care and support plans that are genuinely person-centred and aligned with CHC frameworks where applicable.
Working closely with families, carers, multidisciplinary teams and commissioners, we ensure that each plan promotes independence, choice, dignity and safety, while addressing both day-to-day support needs and long-term health management.
Enhancing Quality of Life and Independence
Using evidence-based practice and the latest LD guidance, we help individuals lead more fulfilling, meaningful lives while receiving the right level of health and social care support.
Our network supports nurses to advocate effectively for people with LD, ensuring that reasonable adjustments, communication needs and mental capacity considerations are fully embedded in care planning and delivery.
Specialist CHC Training and Professional Development
CHC and Community DoLS Application Process Training
We provide specialist CHC training courses designed for agency nurses, case managers and healthcare professionals involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare assessments, eligibility and funding. Our training also covers the Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) / Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) application process as relevant.
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, our sessions are interactive, practical and scenario-based, giving nurses the confidence to apply CHC frameworks correctly, document effectively and advocate for patients’ rights.
Boosting Competence, Confidence and Compliance
Our CHC education programmes improve understanding of legislation, national frameworks, local policies and best practice in decision-making. This helps reduce errors, avoid disputes and promote consistent, lawful and person-centred CHC practice.
We support individual nurses and provider organisations to build a skilled, confident CHC workforce that is prepared for CQC inspections, CHC reviews and funding panels.
CHC-Focused Events, Workshops and Networking
