CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Professional Support for Nurses
Leading UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nursing consultancy and professional community dedicated to improving patient outcomes through expert training, case management and peer support.
We connect agency nurses, CHC case managers and healthcare organisations, helping them navigate complex CHC processes, CQC expectations and community-based care with confidence.
With a core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer a safe, confidential space to share knowledge 24/7, access high-quality CHC training, and build lasting professional relationships.
Our mission is to empower nurses and healthcare providers to deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care, particularly within community and Continuing Healthcare settings.
What We Do: CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training & Community Support
Professional CHC Agency Nurses Network & Private Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive community where CHC nurses and agency professionals can relax, de‑stress and connect with colleagues who truly understand the pressures of nursing.
We run confidential, invite‑only social media groups where members can discuss cases (within governance rules), explore professional issues and ask for advice 24-7-365.
Many nurses in our network form long-lasting friendships and professional partnerships, and most stay in regular contact through our groups, events and mentoring opportunities.
New members are warmly welcomed and supported as they develop their CHC knowledge, build confidence and grow their careers in Continuing Healthcare and community nursing.
Transitions Support & Community-Based Care Planning
Transitions in care — such as discharge from hospital to home, step‑down care, or moving into community-based CHC packages — can be high‑risk and stressful for patients, families and staff.
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides guidance, resources and expert support to help nurses coordinate safe, person‑centred transitions across health and social care.
By focusing on multi‑disciplinary coordination, risk reduction and continuity of care, we help agency nurses and CHC case managers minimise avoidable readmissions, maintain patient safety and improve overall experience for people receiving Continuing Healthcare in the community.
Pre‑CQC Inspection Support & Compliance Readiness
Preparation is essential for a successful Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection, especially for services delivering CHC and complex community care.
Through our consultancy and peer‑support network, we help agencies, care providers and nurses understand CQC expectations, identify gaps and strengthen compliance.
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants can support with informal pre‑CQC style checks, documentation reviews, care planning standards and governance processes, giving providers greater confidence before inspection and helping them work towards stronger CQC ratings and public trust.
Person‑Centred Care Plans for Learning Disabilities (LD) within CHC
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses working with people who have learning disabilities (LD), autism and complex needs, particularly where CHC funding and community placements are involved.
We promote evidence‑based, person‑centred care planning that emphasises independence, choice, dignity and safety.
Through our training, peer support and shared resources, we help nurses and providers develop holistic LD care and support plans that integrate physical health, mental health, behaviour support and daily living needs, ensuring each individual receives tailored, high‑quality care in the least restrictive setting.
Enhancing CHC Skills with Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, CHC assessments and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) processes is crucial for nurses involved in complex care planning.
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers practical training and guidance covering the CHC National Framework, Decision Support Tool (DST), checklist, appeals and community DoLS applications.
Our training is designed for agency nurses, CHC case managers and community teams who need clear, real‑world explanations of CHC funding, lawful restrictions, best interests decisions and robust documentation.
This knowledge helps improve compliance, protects patients’ rights and strengthens the quality and defensibility of clinical decision‑making.
CHC Events, Webinars & Networking Workshops
We run regular online and in‑person events to keep CHC nurses and healthcare professionals up to date with changes to CHC policy, case law, community care and regulatory expectations.
These include webinars, workshops, Q&A sessions and networking events focused on practical issues faced in Continuing Healthcare and complex community care.
Attending CHC Nurses Agency Network events gives members the chance to learn from experienced practitioners, share best practice, discuss difficult cases in a safe space and build lasting professional connections across the CHC sector.
Expert CHC Case Management Support & Consultancy
We offer specialist CHC case management support and consultancy for individuals with complex needs receiving NHS Continuing Healthcare funding in the community.
Our network includes highly skilled nurses with experience in coordinating complex care packages, liaising with commissioners and ensuring person‑centred, legally compliant care.
This support focuses on robust assessment, holistic care planning, risk management and coordination between agencies, helping to optimise resources, uphold safeguarding standards and ensure safe, effective care for vulnerable adults and children with complex needs.
