CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses With Expert Training, Support & Professional Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide community and consultancy service dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare organisations. We combine specialist CHC training, expert healthcare consultancy, and a supportive professional network to help agency nurses stay compliant, confident, and up to date while delivering outstanding, person-centred care.
Our private invite-only network gives agency nurses a safe space to connect, de‑stress, and share real‑world challenges 24/7, while our consultancy services help organisations navigate CHC processes, CQC requirements, and complex care pathways effectively.
About the CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider — it is a growing community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who regularly support each other through confidential, invite-only social media groups and in‑person events.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional load, and daily demands of our profession. Our network is designed as a place to relax, connect, and learn, where CHC agency nurses can gain knowledge, exchange experiences, and build long‑term professional and personal relationships.
New members are warmly welcomed to join our private social media groups, attend our CHC-focused events, and access ongoing professional support that fits around busy shifts, agency work, and changing placements.
Comprehensive CHC Training for Agency Nurses
Specialist Courses in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
We deliver specialist training programmes in NHS Continuing Healthcare designed specifically for agency nurses, case managers, and healthcare professionals working in community and complex care settings. Our CHC courses cover:
- The fundamentals of Continuing Healthcare eligibility and the National Framework
- How to complete Checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs) effectively
- Developing person-centred CHC care plans that reflect complex needs
- Working with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and multidisciplinary teams
- Understanding CHC funding pathways and appeals processes
Whether you are new to CHC or looking for a refresher to enhance your practice, our training is designed to build confidence, improve documentation quality, and ensure you can advocate effectively for your patients.
DOLS, Liberty Protection Safeguards & Community Care Applications
We provide clear, practical training on the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), the upcoming Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), and community care applications relevant to CHC and complex care.
Our sessions help nurses understand the legal framework, capacity assessments, best interests decisions, and how to complete applications confidently and lawfully, so that patients’ human rights are upheld and documentation is robust for scrutiny by CQC and local authorities.
Practical Skills, Documentation & Regulation Compliance
All of our CHC training is grounded in real-world case studies, example documentation, and scenarios drawn from current practice. We focus on:
- Writing high-quality clinical notes and CHC evidence
- Meeting CQC standards and demonstrating safe, effective care
- Risk assessment, risk management, and escalation pathways
- Communication with families, MDTs, and commissioners
This hands-on approach ensures that what you learn can be applied immediately in your agency roles, improving both patient outcomes and your professional profile.
Expert Consultancy for CHC & Healthcare Organisations
Pre-CQC Assessment & Compliance Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy services to home care providers, nursing agencies, and organisations delivering CHC-funded care. Our experienced consultants carry out pre-CQC assessments to identify gaps, risks, and opportunities for improvement across:
- Policies, procedures, and governance
- Care planning, risk assessments, and clinical documentation
- Staff training, supervision, and competency frameworks
- Service user involvement and feedback mechanisms
By preparing thoroughly before a CQC inspection, organisations can reduce stress, improve their ratings, and demonstrate consistent, safe, and effective CHC care.
Safe Hospital-to-Home & Care Setting Transitions
Transitions from hospital to home, or between care settings, are critical moments for patients with complex needs. Our CHC nurses and consultants provide guidance and support to:
- Plan and coordinate safe discharges
- Ensure necessary equipment, staffing, and care plans are in place
- Minimise avoidable readmissions and safeguarding risks
- Maintain continuity of care across agencies and providers
With our input, organisations can improve patient experience, promote independence, and deliver truly seamless transitions for CHC-funded individuals.
Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs Care Planning
We offer specialist consultancy in the development of care and support plans for individuals with Learning Disabilities and complex needs, including those eligible for CHC.
Working collaboratively with families, support teams, and MDTs, we help create person-centred plans that promote dignity, independence, communication, and choice, incorporating positive behaviour support and evidence-based interventions to improve quality of life.
Events, Workshops & the CHC Nurse Community
Regular CHC-Focused Events & Training Workshops
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, workshops, and webinars centred on Continuing Healthcare, complex care, and professional development for agency nurses.
Our events help you stay up to date with:
- Changes to the NHS CHC National Framework
- Best practice in documentation and assessments
- Legal updates impacting CHC and community nursing
- Practical skills sessions relevant to your CHC roles
Sessions are designed to be interactive, supportive, and accessible around shift patterns, so you can continue your CPD while working in agency roles.
Private Networking & Peer Support Groups
Our core network of CHC agency nurses stays connected via confidential invite-only social media groups that are active 24/7, 365 days a year.
Within these groups, members:
- Discuss clinical and professional issues in a safe, moderated space
- Share experiences, tools, templates, and practical tips
- Offer peer support on challenging days and demanding cases
- Build lasting friendships and professional connections
Many nurses in our network have remained connected for years, forming a trusted community where wellbeing, learning, and professional growth go hand in hand.
Person-Centred Case Management & Complex Care Support
Supporting Patients With Complex, CHC-Funded Needs
Our experienced CHC nurses and case managers provide person-centred case management for individuals with complex, CHC-funded health needs, coordinating support across agencies and professionals.
We work to ensure that care is:
- Individually tailored and responsive to changing needs
- Well-coordinated between health and social care services
- Focused on independence, safety, and quality of life
- Fully aligned with legal and regulatory requirements
Optimising Resources While Meeting Regulatory Standards
Through effective case management and consultancy, we help organisations optimise resources, reduce duplication, and ensure that services delivered to CHC-funded patients are safe, efficient, and compliant.
By aligning care packages with assessed needs and current legislation, we support providers and commissioners to meet regulatory expectations while maintaining compassionate, person-centred care.
