CHC Nurses Agency Network – CHC Training, Nurse Community & Expert Healthcare Support
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Training and Specialist Consultancy
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK.
We combine peer support, specialist CHC training, and expert consultancy to help nurses, care providers and commissioners deliver safe, compliant and person‑centred care.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Our CHC Agency Nurses Network is a safe space for nurses to connect, share experiences and support one another in the unique pressures of CHC and agency work.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the realities of shift work, clinical responsibility and the emotional demands of nursing practice.
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
We host several confidential, invite‑only social media groups where more than 500 CHC agency nurses collaborate, ask questions and discuss real‑world professional issues 24/7/365.
These spaces allow you to access peer advice, share best practice and feel supported by colleagues who understand your role and challenges.
Regular Events, Meet‑Ups and Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and face‑to‑face events to bring our community together, including clinical update sessions, CHC workshops and informal networking meet‑ups.
Many nurses in our network build strong friendships and professional connections that last for years, helping them progress their careers and maintain their wellbeing.
Relax, Connect and Develop Your Career
Alongside its professional benefits, the network is a place to relax, de‑stress and feel heard among colleagues who “get it”.
Members routinely share job leads, clinical resources, training opportunities and practical tips to make life as a CHC agency nurse easier and more rewarding.
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Teams
We provide specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training programmes designed for agency nurses, CHC assessors, case managers, commissioners and care providers who work within NHS CHC and complex care pathways.
CHC Eligibility, Assessment and Funding Training
Our tailored CHC training courses build robust knowledge of CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), assessments, funding decisions and appeals.
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, these sessions increase confidence in applying the National Framework, documenting clinical evidence and navigating complex CHC decision‑making processes.
Care Planning & Risk Management in CHC Settings
We deliver practical workshops on person‑centred care planning, risk assessment and complex care management for adults and children receiving CHC funding or similar high‑acuity packages.
Training focuses on clinical safety, legal compliance, documentation quality and multidisciplinary working to support outstanding outcomes and CQC‑ready records.
Community DOL / DoLS & LPS Training
Our expert‑led sessions cover the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) and community DOL application processes relevant to CHC and community nursing.
We help staff understand legal frameworks, documentation requirements and best practice for protecting patient rights while ensuring safe, lawful care in community and care‑home settings.
Ongoing Workshops and CHC‑Focused Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly hosts and contributes to CHC conferences, webinars, masterclasses and workshops.
These events keep nurses and organisations up to date with policy changes, local ICB practice trends, case law, and evolving expectations from CQC and NHS England.
Expert Consultancy to Improve Compliance, Quality and Outcomes
In addition to community and training, we offer specialist consultancy services to CHC providers, agencies and care organisations seeking to strengthen governance and care quality.
Pre‑CQC Assessments and Quality Audits
Our consultants undertake comprehensive pre‑CQC assessments of your CHC and complex care services, reviewing care plans, risk assessments, staff competencies, governance systems and clinical records.
We identify gaps, provide clear action plans and support implementation so you can approach inspections with confidence and demonstrate safe, effective, well‑led services.
Transitions Support for Seamless CHC Pathways
Transitions between hospital, home, nursing homes and independent living can be complex, particularly for individuals with CHC or complex care needs.
We offer transitions support to help design and oversee safe, personalised moves that maintain continuity of care, minimise risk and keep patients and families fully informed and reassured.
Person‑Centred Support for Learning Disabilities and Autism
The CHC Nurses Agency Network has experience supporting people with Learning Disabilities (LD) and autistic people whose needs are funded via CHC, Section 117 or similar mechanisms.
We help organisations develop highly individualised, strengths‑based care plans that promote independence, choice, dignity and community inclusion.
Case Management and Complex Care Coordination
Our consultants can provide or support case management for complex care packages, working closely with ICBs, providers, families and multidisciplinary teams.
We focus on clinically robust assessments, clear outcomes, efficient resource use and timely reviews to improve both safety and quality of life for people with complex health needs.
