CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-wide community and consultancy service for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex community care settings.
We combine expert CHC training, specialist consultancy, and a thriving peer support network to help nurses, agency staff, and healthcare providers deliver safe, compliant, and person-centred care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a professional hub for CHC nurses looking to connect, upskill, and navigate the complexities of CHC and community care.
Our private online groups and regular events enable nurses to share real-world CHC experiences, discuss cases confidentially, and support one another in managing the pressures of frontline practice.
A Safe, Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Connect with Over 500 CHC Nursing Professionals
We host an active core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK who collaborate daily through invite-only, confidential social media groups.
Members regularly discuss complex CHC cases, policy changes, funding issues, and day-to-day clinical challenges in a safe, supportive environment where only nurses truly understand other nurses.
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
New members are welcomed into our private social media communities, where they can access peer support 24/7/365, share professional issues, and get practical advice from experienced CHC colleagues.
Many of our members build long-term professional relationships and genuine friendships that continue for years, making the Network a place to relax, debrief, and grow in their careers.
Regular Events, Learning & Networking Opportunities
CHC-Focused Workshops, Seminars & Meet-Ups
We run regular events – both online and in person – to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together, share best practice, and update members on the latest CHC guidance, funding rules, and case law.
These events include teaching sessions, Q&A panels, case discussions, and networking opportunities designed to strengthen CHC knowledge and build confidence in complex decision-making.
Ongoing Professional Development in CHC
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports continuous professional development by offering structured CHC training, bite-sized learning resources, and links to further education relevant to Continuing Healthcare and community care.
Members can deepen their understanding of key topics such as CHC eligibility, assessments, MDTs, DSTs, appeals, community DoLS, and complex discharge planning.
Specialist CHC Training Programmes for Nurses
Practical CHC Courses for Agency and Community Nurses
We provide specialist CHC training programmes tailored for nurses working in agency, community, and Continuing Healthcare roles across the UK.
Our courses cover core areas including NHS Continuing Healthcare, care planning in complex community settings, CQC and regulatory compliance, and legal and funding frameworks relevant to CHC.
Training Designed and Delivered by CHC Experts
All training is delivered by highly experienced CHC nurses and clinical leaders who understand the realities of practice, agency work, and system pressures.
Sessions are interactive, case-based, and aligned with current UK policy, ensuring that nurses leave with practical skills they can immediately apply in clinical and community settings.
Tailored Consultancy for Healthcare Organisations
Support with CHC Processes, Pathways & Compliance
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also supports care providers, NHS teams, and independent organisations needing expert input on CHC and complex community care.
We offer consultancy around CHC processes, assessments, eligibility decisions, appeals, discharge to assess pathways, and safe transitions between hospital, care home, and home-based care.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Best Practice in Community Care
Our consultants help organisations prepare for CQC inspections by reviewing policies, documentation, CHC processes, and care plans, identifying risks and areas for improvement.
We provide clear, actionable recommendations so teams can strengthen governance, person-centred care planning, record-keeping, and CHC funding compliance.
CHC, Community DoLS & Legal Framework Training
Navigating CHC Eligibility, MDTs and Appeals
Our CHC-specific training supports nurses to confidently participate in and lead CHC processes, including checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), MDT meetings, and appeals.
We help professionals understand how to evidence needs, interpret CHC domains, and advocate effectively for patients while staying within national guidance and local policies.
Community DoLS and Human Rights in Practice
We provide focused learning on community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS / LPS) applications, capacity assessments, and best interests decisions within CHC and community care pathways.
Nurses gain clarity on legal responsibilities, documentation standards, and how to deliver person-centred care that protects patients’ rights and dignity.
Case Management Support & Complex Care Planning
Person-Centred Case Management for CHC Patients
Our network includes experienced CHC case managers who support organisations with developing and coordinating complex, community-based care packages for eligible individuals.
We focus on creating person-centred care plans that address clinical, psychological, behavioural, and social needs while making best use of available funding and resources.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities & Autism
We can assist with designing robust, person-led support plans for people with learning disabilities, autism, and behaviours that challenge within CHC and community care frameworks.
Our approach promotes independence, dignity, safety and quality of life, using evidence-based strategies and multidisciplinary collaboration.
