CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated, confidential community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK, providing expert training, peer support, specialist consultancy and networking opportunities.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the intensity, responsibility and pressure that comes with CHC and community nursing – which is why our network has been built around real-world support, shared knowledge and professional development tailored to agency nurses.
With a core community of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals, we connect nurses through invite-only social media groups, regular events, specialist CHC training and practical guidance on complex cases, funding, assessments and regulatory expectations.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just a training provider – it is a professional space to relax, connect and grow in your CHC nursing career.
Our private online groups and in-person events give agency nurses a safe environment to share challenges, ask questions, debrief difficult shifts and access expert insight into CHC processes, community DoLS, funding panels and case coordination.
Many nurses who join our community form long-term friendships and ongoing professional partnerships, staying in touch long after initial introductions and events.
Key Services for CHC and Agency Nurses
Specialist CHC Training & Development
CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
We deliver bespoke CHC training courses that cover the full Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility, assessment, decision-making and community DoLS application process for agency nurses and community teams.
Our sessions are designed to increase confidence, accuracy and compliance when completing CHC checklists, DSTs, DoLS applications and documentation in community settings.
Practical, Scenario-Based Learning
Training is delivered using real case examples, interactive discussions and peer learning, ensuring that agency nurses can directly apply new knowledge on shift.
We focus on streamlining assessments, improving documentation quality and ultimately enhancing patient safety and outcomes in CHC and community care.
Professional CHC Consultancy & Case Support
Expert Advice on Complex CHC Cases
Our experienced CHC nurse consultants provide practical guidance on complex CHC cases, including eligibility disputes, safeguarding concerns, community DoLS, funding reviews and multidisciplinary decision-making.
Agency nurses can access confidential peer and expert support to navigate difficult clinical, ethical or procedural issues in CHC practice.
Support with Documentation & Regulatory Expectations
We help nurses strengthen their clinical records, CHC evidence, risk assessments and support plans to meet current NHS, CQC and local authority expectations.
This support helps agency nurses protect themselves professionally while ensuring high-quality, person-centred and defensible care in line with CHC frameworks.
CHC Events, Workshops & Networking Opportunities
Regular Events to Connect CHC Agency Nurses
We run regular online and in-person events to bring CHC agency nurses together, creating space for learning, networking and mutual support.
Many nurses in our network keep in touch daily via private groups and continue to meet at events, forming strong relationships that last for years.
Stay Updated on CHC Policy & Best Practice
Our workshops and seminars keep members up to date with changes to CHC guidance, community DoLS, legal frameworks and national policy.
We share best practice, tools, templates and real-world tips to help agency nurses stay aligned with current CHC standards and expectations.
Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
24/7 Peer Support from CHC Professionals
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals communicate daily through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
These groups provide a safe environment to ask clinical questions, share resources, discuss shifts, explore career options and support each other 24-7-365.
A Safe Space to Share Professional Challenges
We recognise the emotional and professional demands of CHC nursing, and our private community enables nurses to debrief, reflect and gain reassurance from colleagues who genuinely understand the work.
Members often report feeling less isolated, more confident and better supported in their CHC roles after joining the network.
Support for CHC Transitions, Community Care & Learning Disabilities
Supporting Safe Transitions in CHC & Community Care
Smooth Transitions Between Hospital, Home & Community Settings
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers training and peer guidance to help agency nurses manage complex transitions of care, such as from hospital to home, residential care or community packages.
We focus on continuity of care, clear documentation, risk management and effective communication between services during these critical points.
Person-Centred Plans That Promote Safety & Independence
Through shared resources and consultancy, we support nurses to develop individualised, person-centred care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and quality of life.
This includes planning for ongoing CHC reviews, community DoLS authorisations, equipment, therapy input and family involvement.
Learning Disabilities: CHC, Community Support & Planning
Best Practice in LD & CHC-Funded Care
We share evidence-based approaches for supporting people with Learning Disabilities (LD) who are eligible for CHC or joint-funded packages in the community.
Our network helps nurses to create holistic, rights-based care plans that balance risk, autonomy and safeguarding in complex LD cases.
Collaboration with Families & Multidisciplinary Teams
We encourage and support strong collaboration with families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams to ensure LD care plans are realistic, safe and truly person-centred.
Members can seek peer advice on communication strategies, capacity assessments, best interest decisions and managing challenging situations.
