Many members build lasting professional relationships and friendships, helping each other navigate the realities of CHC work 24/7/365.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated space created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibility and emotional impact of working in Continuing Healthcare, community and complex care roles.

Through our private social media communities, networking events and specialist training, we help you:

  • Build meaningful professional connections with other CHC agency nurses and healthcare professionals.
  • Access up-to-date knowledge on CHC, community DoL, assessments, reviews and care planning.
  • Gain expert guidance on CQC expectations, compliance and documentation.
  • Share practical tips, challenges and solutions in a supportive, nurse-led environment.
  • Develop your career in Continuing Healthcare with confidence and clarity.

Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Organisations

1. Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Skills Development

We deliver specialist CHC training designed specifically for nurses and multi-disciplinary professionals involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community care and complex needs support.

Our training programmes cover:

  • CHC eligibility criteria and National Framework interpretation.

  • Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) and legal considerations.
  • Person-centred care planning and documentation for CHC packages.

Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced nurse seeking to refresh your knowledge, our training supports ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and improved outcomes for the people you support.

2. Pre-CQC Assessments & Compliance Consultancy

We work alongside care providers, agencies and community services to help them prepare for CQC inspections and maintain robust, compliant processes linked to CHC and complex care.

Our pre-CQC support includes:

  • Independent review of policies, procedures and care records.
  • Gap analysis against CQC Key Questions and Fundamental Standards.
  • Practical, nurse-led advice on improving documentation, risk assessments and care plans.
  • Action plans to strengthen governance, quality assurance and clinical oversight.

With our guidance, organisations can feel inspection-ready, more confident in their compliance, and better equipped to demonstrate safe, effective, compassionate and well-led care.

3. Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Care Planning

Transitions between hospital, home, care home and community settings can be high-risk and stressful for patients, families and staff—especially within CHC and complex care pathways.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports organisations and professionals with:

  • Best practice guidance for safe discharges and transitions.
  • Support with multidisciplinary care coordination for high-dependency CHC cases.

Many of our members and partners work directly with individuals who have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex behavioural needs within CHC and community settings.

We share evidence-based approaches and offer consultancy around:

  • Person-centred LD care planning aligned with CHC funding and outcomes.
  • Promoting independence, choice and dignity in everyday life.
  • Positive risk management, capacity assessments and legal safeguards.
  • Multi-disciplinary working with families, advocates and support services.

Our aim is to enhance quality of life for individuals with Learning Disabilities while supporting nurses and providers to deliver safe, personalised, and rights-based care.

  • Clear explanation of DoL in community settings and associated responsibilities.
  • Advice on evidencing needs, risks and eligibility in line with the National Framework.
