CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community-based settings across the UK.
We combine expert healthcare training, CHC consultancy, and a supportive peer network to help agency nurses deliver safer, compliant, and person-centred care – while developing their careers and avoiding burnout.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a relaxed yet highly professional space where CHC-experienced agency nurses can connect, learn, and grow together.
Our private, invite-only online groups and regular events bring together a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share advice, discuss complex cases, and support one another 24-7-365.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the realities of nursing – the workload, the emotional challenges, and the pressure to get complex CHC decisions right first time.
Within our community, many nurses not only build valuable professional connections but also develop lifelong friendships and mentoring relationships that support them throughout their careers.

- Access a trusted community of experienced CHC agency nurses across the UK.
- Receive support, guidance, and practical tips on CHC assessments, community DoLS, and complex cases.
- Stay up to date with NHS Continuing Healthcare policy changes, best practice, and regulatory expectations.
- Attend regular online and in-person events to share learning and build your professional profile.

We welcome new members into our private social media groups and events, where professional issues are discussed confidentially, respectfully, and with clinical insight that only fellow CHC nurses can offer.
Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
1. Specialist Healthcare Training for CHC & Community Nurses
We provide specialist training programmes designed for agency nurses working within Continuing Healthcare, community care, and complex needs settings.
Our courses are designed to build clinical confidence, improve regulatory understanding, and strengthen practical skills that directly impact patient outcomes and compliance.
CHC + Community DoLS Application Process Training
Our tailored training on the CHC and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) application process equips nurses with clear, step-by-step knowledge of:
- CHC assessment frameworks and national tools.
- Eligibility criteria and evidence-based decision making.
- Funding pathways and multidisciplinary team (MDT) responsibilities.
- Community DoLS applications and legal safeguards.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and consultants who understand current NHS, local authority, and regulatory standards.
Workshops, Events & CHC-Related Education
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular workshops, webinars, and networking events focused on:
- Latest CHC policy updates and guidance.
- Complex case discussions and best practice sharing.
- Community-based care planning and risk management.
- Nurse wellbeing, boundaries, and resilience in agency work.
These events keep CHC professionals informed, connected, and confident in managing complex community care and funding processes.
2. Healthcare Consultancy & CQC Support
In addition to supporting individual nurses, we work closely with care providers, CHC teams, and agencies who want to improve standards and compliance in community-based care.
CQC & Regulatory Consultancy
We help organisations navigate the complexities of CQC regulation, CHC processes, and wider governance requirements across community and residential settings.
Our consultancy can support with:
- Pre-CQC assessments and mock inspections.
- Policy and procedure review for CHC and community care.
- Quality improvement plans and action tracking.
- Staff training needs analysis and targeted upskilling.
Our aim is to support safer, more compliant care pathways that reflect person-centred values and robust clinical oversight.
3. Support with Transitions in Healthcare
Transitions between care settings – such as hospital to home, home to care home, or step-down facilities – are high-risk points for patients and providers.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and organisations to:
- Plan and coordinate safe discharges and transitions.
- Ensure continuity of care through clear documentation and communication.
- Reduce avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns.
- Align transition plans with CHC funding and legal frameworks.
Our network provides real-world examples, shared tools, and peer support to manage challenging transitions effectively.
4. Learning Disabilities (LD) Care & Support Planning
Many of our nurses specialise in Learning Disabilities (LD), complex needs, and behaviours that challenge, particularly within CHC and community settings.
Through shared expertise, consultancy and training, we support:
- Development of person-centred LD care and support plans.
- Risk assessments that balance safety, rights, and independence.
- Best interest decision making and legal frameworks (MCA, DoLS / LPS).
- Multidisciplinary working with families, therapists, and social care.
Our approach prioritises dignity, autonomy, and quality of life while meeting clinical and regulatory expectations.
Professional Case Management & Person-Centred Coordination
Person-Centred Care Coordination in CHC
Many nurses within the CHC Nurses Agency Network are experienced in case management and care coordination for individuals with complex health and social care needs.
This expertise helps ensure that care plans are:
- Holistic – addressing physical, emotional, and social needs.
- Evidence-based – linked to clear assessment data and risk management.
- Outcome-focused – supporting independence, safety, and wellbeing.
- Legally robust – compliant with CHC, CQC, and safeguarding frameworks.
Supporting Healthcare Teams & Providers
We collaborate with healthcare teams, agencies, and providers to improve:
- Care planning for CHC-funded and complex patients.
- Use of resources, including staffing skill-mix and deployment.
- Clinical governance and documentation standards.
- Team confidence around CHC, community DoLS, and LD support.
By tapping into our experienced network, organisations gain access to specialist CHC knowledge and peer-derived solutions that are grounded in real clinical practice.
