CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support, Training & Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Your Professional Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Excellence
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care roles across the UK.
We provide a relaxed, supportive space where nurses can connect with like-minded professionals, access specialist CHC training, share real-world experience, and develop their careers with up-to-date knowledge and peer support.
Because only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility, and emotional impact of our work, our network is built on mutual respect, confidentiality, and practical support 24/7/365.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing, invite-only community of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals who:
- Work in NHS Continuing Healthcare, complex care, and community nursing roles
- Support each other through private, confidential social media groups
- Share best practice, policy updates, clinical insights, and real-case scenarios
- Attend regular online and in-person events to learn, network, and recharge
- Build long-term professional connections and genuine friendships
New members are warmly welcomed into our private groups and events, where nurses support nurses – professionally and personally.
Key Services & Benefits for CHC Agency Nurses
Specialist Training in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
We offer specialised CHC training programmes designed for agency nurses who want to strengthen their knowledge of:
- CHC eligibility criteria and Decision Support Tool (DST) processes
- Assessment, documentation, and evidence-based decision-making
- Care planning, risk management, and multi-disciplinary working

Our training is delivered by experienced CHC nursing professionals and can be adapted for different experience levels, from nurses new to CHC to seasoned practitioners wanting a refresher or update on best practice and current guidance.
Professional Support With Care Transitions & Complex Care
Agency nurses frequently support care transitions from hospital to home, between community settings, or into long-term CHC-funded care.
Through our network, you can access shared resources, guidance and peer experience on:
- Planning safe, person-centred discharges and transitions
- Coordinating care across multi-agency teams
- Reducing risks of readmission and deterioration
- Working effectively with families, carers, and commissioners
Our community helps you approach complex situations with confidence and practical insight from nurses who have been there before.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Compliance Insights for Agency Nurses
While CQC inspections focus on providers, agency nurses play a crucial role in demonstrating safe, effective, and well-led practice in the settings where they work.
Through shared discussions, case examples, and learning resources, our network supports you to:
- Stay aligned with CQC standards and regulatory expectations
- Understand how your documentation and clinical decisions impact compliance
- Prepare for spot checks, audits, and inspections in practice
- Strengthen your professional portfolio with evidence of ongoing learning
Support for Learning Disability & Autism Care
Many CHC agency nurses work with people with learning disabilities and/or autism who have complex health and social care needs.
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, members share:
- Best practice in person-centred care and communication
- Strategies to support independence, choice, and dignity
- Experience of working within Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) frameworks
- Guidance on aligning with current legislation and national standards
This peer-led learning helps you provide safe, respectful, and effective care in complex scenarios.
Case Management & Coordination in CHC Practice
CHC agency nurses are often central to coordinating complex care packages across multiple professionals and services.
Our network provides space to discuss and learn about:
- Working alongside case managers, commissioners, and MDTs
- Optimising care plans, reviews, and outcome-focused goals
- Managing legal, ethical, and safeguarding challenges
- Advocating for person-centred, rights-based care
