CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Nurse Support Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Support, Training and Connection
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, compliance consultancy and a strong peer network to help you deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network understands the pressures of agency work, CHC case management and complex care. We provide practical guidance, resources and events to support your professional development, improve patient outcomes and ensure services remain regulation-ready at all times.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a supportive community of over 500 CHC agency nurses connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular professional events.
Our purpose is to give CHC nurses a safe space to share challenges, discuss complex cases, exchange best practice and access up-to-date guidance on NHS Continuing Healthcare, community DoLS, CQC requirements and other key areas of practice. Members frequently build strong friendships and professional relationships that last for years.
We welcome new CHC and agency nurses to join our network, take part in our online groups, and attend our CHC-focused workshops, seminars and networking events designed to enhance both confidence and competence in practice.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
We deliver specialist training modules for CHC agency nurses covering clinical skills in complex care, CHC eligibility and assessment processes, documentation standards, compliance, safeguarding and leadership within community settings.
Our courses are tailored to the realities of agency work and CHC caseloads, helping nurses feel more confident in CHC assessments, care planning, MDTs, appeals and reviews. Training can be accessed through live events, webinars and bespoke sessions for healthcare organisations.
Healthcare & Compliance Consultancy for CHC Services
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers healthcare consultancy to agencies, care providers and organisations delivering CHC-funded care. We support you with regulatory compliance, clinical governance and quality improvement.
Our consultancy covers pre-CQC assessments, policy review, CHC pathway optimisation, documentation audits and staff training needs analysis. We help you not only meet regulatory standards, but also embed sustainable best practice across your CHC and community services.
Supportive Professional Network & Peer Community
A unique benefit of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our 24/7 peer support community. Through our private, invite-only social media groups, members can share professional issues, ask questions and gain advice from experienced CHC agency nurses all year round.
This confidential space makes it easier to navigate the daily pressures of nursing, complex CHC cases, documentation demands and regulatory expectations, knowing you are never dealing with challenges alone.
Regular Events, Workshops & CHC Education
We run regular CHC-focused events including workshops, seminars, study days and informal networking sessions that bring the community together both online and in person.
Our events keep nurses up to date with the latest in NHS Continuing Healthcare policy, community DoLS, best practice in complex care, documentation standards and inspection expectations. They also provide opportunities to build new professional contacts and friendships within the CHC field.
Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Care Planning
Transitions between services – such as hospital to home, home to care home, or changes in CHC funding – can be especially challenging for complex patients. Our network supports organisations and nurses with safe, well-planned transitions in care.
We share expertise, tools and guidance to help nurses develop robust transition plans that protect continuity of care, reduce risk, involve families and keep documentation aligned with CHC and safeguarding requirements.
Pre-CQC Assessment Advice for CHC & Agency Services
Preparing for a CQC inspection can feel daunting for agencies and community providers, especially those heavily involved in CHC. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides pre-CQC support and practical preparation tips tailored to CHC and agency nursing services.
We help you understand what inspectors are looking for in relation to safety, effectiveness, responsiveness, leadership and person-centred care. We also share checklists, examples and peer advice to support strong inspection outcomes.
Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs Support Planning
Many CHC agency nurses work with individuals with Learning Disabilities, autism and complex needs. Our network supports best practice in person-centred care planning, risk assessment and positive behaviour support.
We encourage approaches that promote independence, dignity, choice and safety, sharing templates, ideas and case discussion opportunities to help nurses deliver high-quality, evidence-based care in community settings.
CHC and Community DoLS (DoL) Application Guidance
A key area of our expertise is NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS). Through training and peer support, we help nurses understand eligibility criteria, assessment tools, legal frameworks and documentation.
Our resources and discussions focus on practical aspects of CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), community DoLS applications and how to uphold patient rights while meeting legal requirements in real-world practice.
CHC Case Management & Complex Care Coordination
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are often involved in case management for CHC-funded patients, coordinating multi-disciplinary input and ensuring care is person-centred and well documented.
We offer guidance and peer learning on holistic assessment, care coordination, communication with CHC teams, family liaison and long-term review processes, all aligned with current CHC and safeguarding expectations.
