CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Guidance, Training and Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community settings and complex care. We provide specialist training, consultancy and 24/7 peer support to help agency nurses, care coordinators and organisations deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
By combining real-world CHC expertise with a supportive professional network, we help nurses navigate complex funding, assessments, CQC preparation and care transitions more confidently and efficiently.
About the CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a private, invite-only community of over 500 CHC agency nurses and healthcare professionals who share knowledge, resources and daily support.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of CHC and agency work. Our network offers a safe space to connect, debrief, learn and grow in your nursing career.
Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses and Providers
Support with Transitions in Healthcare and Complex Discharges
Care transitions are high‑risk moments that can significantly impact patient safety and outcomes. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers in planning and managing safe hospital discharges, CHC-funded placements and transitions between care settings.
Our experienced CHC nurses share best practice, tools and guidance to help you coordinate smooth transfers, maintain continuity of care and reduce avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns.
Pre‑CQC Support and Quality Improvement for CHC Services
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can feel daunting, especially in CHC and complex community care. Through our network and consultancy support, we help teams review policies, documentation, care records and clinical governance.
We share practical frameworks, checklists and examples that support regulatory compliance, safety, quality assurance and evidence gathering, giving organisations and agency nurses greater confidence before and after CQC visits.
Person‑Centred Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many CHC-funded patients have learning disabilities (LD), autism, mental health conditions or multiple long‑term conditions. Our network promotes best practice in person‑centred planning, positive risk‑taking and promoting independence.
Through shared experience, case discussions and training, CHC agency nurses gain confidence in delivering individualised care plans that safeguard rights, dignity and quality of life in community and home‑based settings.
Specialist Training in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DoLS
CHC Processes, Eligibility and Case Management Training
We provide focused training and guidance to deepen your understanding of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) frameworks, including Checklist completion, Decision Support Tool (DST), eligibility criteria and review processes.
Our sessions are designed by experienced CHC practitioners to help you apply the National Framework in practice, document robust clinical rationales and advocate effectively for the people you support.
Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and LPS Awareness
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also supports nurses to understand Community DoLS, Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) and related legal responsibilities in community and home settings.
Training and peer discussions help you recognise potential deprivations of liberty, escalate appropriately, complete relevant documentation and work within Mental Capacity Act (MCA) principles to protect individuals’ rights.
Networking, Peer Support and CHC‑Focused Events
Regular Events for CHC Agency Nurses
We run regular online and in‑person events, webinars, workshops and meet‑ups tailored specifically to CHC and agency nursing. These events cover topics such as CHC assessments, documentation, safeguarding, clinical updates and professional wellbeing.
Events are led by experienced CHC nurses, case managers and industry specialists, helping you stay current with policy changes, best practice standards and regulatory updates.
A Supportive Community That Understands CHC Agency Work
Within our private social media groups and invite‑only discussion spaces, CHC nurses connect 24‑7‑365 to share clinical queries, professional dilemmas, job opportunities and emotional support.
Many members form long‑term friendships, mentoring relationships and professional partnerships that continue for years, making the CHC Nurses Agency Network a trusted space to relax, debrief and grow your career.
Expert CHC Case Support and Professional Guidance
Informal Case Discussion and Peer‑to‑Peer Support
Through the network, you can discuss challenging CHC cases (confidentially and within professional boundaries), explore clinical rationales, documentation approaches and risk management strategies with colleagues who truly understand the CHC environment.
This peer‑to‑peer support helps agency nurses make informed decisions, build confidence and safeguard both their practice and the individuals they care for.
Professional Development and Career Progression in CHC
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a powerful resource for career development, helping nurses move into CHC specialist roles, case management, leadership and quality improvement.
Members benefit from shared CPD opportunities, role insights, portfolio tips and networking with senior CHC clinicians, which can open doors to new agency, bank and permanent opportunities.
