CHC Nurses Agency Network: UK CHC Nursing Community, Training & Support
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Healthcare Providers and Case Managers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional community created exclusively for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), case management, and complex care settings.
We combine a welcoming peer network with CHC training, consultancy and support so that agency nurses, independent practitioners and provider organisations can deliver safe, effective and compliant patient care.
Within our network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we share real-world expertise, answer questions 24/7 and work together to navigate the everyday demands of CHC, including assessments, appeals, DOLs and multidisciplinary team (MDT) work.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional impact that comes with frontline nursing, especially within Continuing Healthcare and complex community caseloads.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, supportive space where agency nurses can relax, debrief and connect with colleagues who face similar challenges and opportunities.
Our members regularly stay in touch through confidential, invite-only social media groups, and many build friendships and professional relationships that last for years.
A Relaxed Yet Professional Community for CHC Nurses
Our network is a place to unwind, talk openly and share practical solutions to everyday problems in CHC and complex care nursing.
From clinical questions and documentation tips to dealing with difficult conversations with commissioners or families, you can tap into the collective knowledge of experienced CHC agency nurses at any time.
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
We host several closed, confidential social media groups dedicated to CHC agency nursing, case management and related specialties.
Members use these groups to ask questions, share new CHC guidance, discuss best practice and offer emotional support to colleagues 24-7-365.
CHC Training, Consultancy & Professional Development
Alongside community support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network provides focused training and consultancy services that help nurses and healthcare organisations strengthen their CHC knowledge and improve the quality of care.
Specialist CHC Training & Community DOL Application Process
Our Continuing Healthcare training programmes are designed to build confidence in all aspects of the CHC pathway, from referral and checklist through to full assessment, eligibility and review.
Training also covers the Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) application process, including key legal principles, documentation, evidence gathering and decision-making frameworks.
Sessions are delivered by seasoned CHC nurses and practitioners, and include practical examples, case studies and up-to-date guidance so that you feel prepared to work effectively within complex regulatory frameworks.
Understanding CQC Standards & Pre‑Assessment Support
We provide guidance and training for healthcare providers and agencies that want to strengthen their approach to CQC compliance and inspection readiness.
Through workshops, consultancy and informal Q&A, we help teams understand CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs), risk areas for CHC and complex care services, and how to evidence safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led practice.
Supporting Transitions, Person‑Centred Care and Learning Disability Nursing
Safe, Seamless Transitions Between Care Settings
Transitions between hospital, community, care home and home-based packages can be especially complex for CHC‑funded patients and their families.
Within the network, we share best practice on transition planning, communication and documentation, helping nurses and case managers reduce risk, avoid delays and maintain continuity of care for people with highly complex needs.
Learning Disability Care & Person‑Centred Support Plans
Many of our members work with adults and children with Learning Disabilities, Autism and challenging behaviour under CHC funding arrangements.
We support one another with the development of person-centred care plans, risk assessments and Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) strategies, always focused on safety, dignity, independence and quality of life.
Expertise in CHC Case Management & Compliance
Practical Support for CHC Case Management
CHC agency nurses and case managers in our network deal daily with highly complex clinical and social needs, multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings, appeals and funding reviews.
Through shared learning, templates and peer support, we help each other manage care coordination, clinical oversight, communication with commissioners and documentation requirements to meet CHC and legal standards.
Navigating CHC Policies, Frameworks & CQC Expectations
We actively discuss changes to the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care, local policies and CQC requirements that impact CHC services.
Members benefit from quick, peer-reviewed interpretation of new guidance, helping them stay compliant and confident in complex, evolving regulatory environments.
Events, Networking & Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together.
These include topic-based webinars on CHC eligibility, DOLs, MDT meetings, documentation standards, case studies and Q&A sessions hosted by experienced CHC practitioners.
