CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert Support, Training & Community for Agency Nurses
Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy, and peer support to help nurses deliver outstanding care, navigate complex funding and regulatory frameworks, and build rewarding careers in agency nursing.
By bringing together specialist CHC nurses, case managers, and healthcare professionals, we create a supportive environment where you can share experience, access resources, and stay up to date with best practice in Continuing Healthcare and CQC-compliant care delivery.
Our Mission: Supporting CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers
Our mission at CHC Nurses Agency Network is to support, connect, and empower CHC agency nurses and the organisations they work with.
We understand the unique challenges of working across multiple settings, agencies, and Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), and we are here to make your professional life easier and more fulfilling.
Through tailored training, specialist consultancy, and a strong peer network, we help CHC nurses improve patient outcomes, strengthen CQC compliance, and build confidence in complex areas such as Continuing Healthcare eligibility, community DoLS, and case management.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities, and emotional load that come with nursing.
Within our network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, members share their challenges and solutions openly and confidentially, 24-7-365, through private invite-only social media groups and online communities.
Many members form lasting friendships, collaborate on complex CHC cases, and support each other through career transitions, revalidation, and professional development.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, you will find peers who understand your work and can help you grow.
Core Services Offered by CHC Nurses Agency Network
Specialised Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses
CHC Eligibility, Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) Training
Our CHC training equips agency nurses with a practical, in-depth understanding of the Continuing Healthcare (CHC) framework, including eligibility criteria, checklist completion, and use of the Decision Support Tool (DST).
We focus on real-world application so you can confidently contribute to CHC assessments, documentation, and multidisciplinary team (MDT) decision-making in any setting.
Community DoLS and Legal Frameworks Training
We provide specialist training on community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), MCA (Mental Capacity Act) principles, and future Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), tailored specifically for CHC and community-based care.
Our courses help you understand your legal responsibilities, document decisions correctly, and safeguard both patients and your professional registration.
CQC-Ready Practice for Agency Nurses
Although you may work through an agency, your practice is still central to CQC inspections and quality reviews.
Our CQC-focused training shows CHC nurses how to deliver, evidence, and document safe, effective, and responsive care that aligns with CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) across multiple providers.
Consultancy and Support for Healthcare Organisations Using CHC Agency Nurses
Pre-CQC Readiness and Quality Improvement Support
We work with care providers, agencies, and CHC teams to review policies, documentation, and frontline practice from an agency nursing perspective.
Our pre-CQC consultancy highlights gaps, suggests improvements, and helps you optimise how you integrate agency CHC nurses into safe staffing, care planning, and governance processes.
CHC Case Management and Complex Care Support
Our network includes experienced CHC nurses and case managers who can support with complex packages of care, community placements, and transitions between hospital, community, and home.
We help ensure person-centred, clinically safe, and cost-effective care that meets both CHC funding requirements and patient goals.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities (LD) and Autism within CHC
Person-Centred Care Planning for LD and Autism
Many of our CHC nurses work with people who have learning disabilities and/or autism under CHC or joint-funded packages of care.
We support nurses and providers to create person-centred care and support plans that promote independence, dignity, communication, and meaningful daily living for each individual.
Positive Behaviour Support and Community-Based Care
We encourage evidence-based, least-restrictive approaches to support behaviour that challenges, with a strong focus on positive behaviour support, human rights, and community inclusion.
Our resources and peer network help CHC nurses navigate complex LD cases while maintaining safety and quality of life.
Community, Networking and Events for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC Events, Webinars and Workshops
We host regular online and in-person events focused on Continuing Healthcare, CQC, complex community care, and professional development for agency nurses.
These events are designed to keep you updated on policy changes, funding rules, best practice guidance, and real-world challenges in CHC nursing.
Attending our events gives you the opportunity to network with other CHC nurses, share case experiences, ask questions in a safe space, and gain CPD hours that support your NMC revalidation.
Private Social Media Groups and Peer Support
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stays connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups where members can discuss professional issues 24-7-365.
From CHC assessments and documentation queries to agency contracts, pay rates, and work–life balance, you can get peer-to-peer advice from nurses who truly understand your role.
We welcome new members to join our private groups and events, building a trusted, respectful community where experience is shared openly and support is always available.
