Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare professionals who work in complex care, case management and community services.
We combine expert CHC training, specialist consultancy and a strong peer support network to help agency nurses deliver safer, more effective, and fully compliant care in every setting.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a professional hub and safe space where CHC agency nurses can relax, share insight, and build long-term professional relationships.
With a core private network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we operate via confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular in-person and online events.
Members use the network to share professional issues 24/7/365, support each other through challenging cases, and keep up to date with changes in CHC policy, funding and best practice.

- Access specialist CHC training, consultancy and mentoring tailored to agency and community practice.
- Stay updated on NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, funding rules and assessments.
- Learn from peers in a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental environment.
- Develop your career, confidence and clinical skills while improving patient outcomes.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Courses
Our Continuing Healthcare training is designed specifically for agency nurses, case managers and community teams who work within the CHC framework or interface with CHC-funded packages of care.
We cover the full CHC pathway, including checklist and DST assessments, eligibility criteria, decision-making, appeals and funding processes, ensuring nurses can confidently navigate complex CHC cases.
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, our sessions are practical, case-based and up to date with the latest national guidance and local commissioning practices.
CHC Documentation, Evidence & Compliance
Good documentation is essential for safe care and robust CHC decision-making.
Our training supports nurses to complete CHC documentation to a high standard, including clinical rationales, risk assessments, care plans and multidisciplinary notes aligned with regulatory expectations.
This helps agency nurses protect their practice, support fair CHC outcomes and maintain strong compliance and audit-readiness.
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS / DOL) & Legal Frameworks
We provide clear, practical training on community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS/DOL) issues relevant to CHC-funded packages and community placements.
Nurses gain confidence in recognising potential deprivation of liberty, understanding mental capacity, consent and best-interest decisions, and working within the correct legal processes in community settings.
Consultancy & Support for CHC Providers and Agency Nurses
Pre-CQC & Quality Improvement Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy and advisory support for providers and teams preparing for CQC inspections or internal quality reviews.
Our experienced CHC nurses review policies, documentation, care plans and governance systems to help you demonstrate safe, effective and person-centred practice.
Complex Case Reviews & CHC Case Management
We support organisations and individual nurses with complex CHC case reviews, safeguarding concerns, and multidisciplinary care planning.
Our consultancy helps clarify roles, responsibilities and clinical risks so that agency nurses and providers can coordinate person-centred care in line with CHC funding decisions and legal frameworks.
Community, Events & Peer Support for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular Events to Bring the CHC Community Together
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC agency nurses together, including workshops, webinars, study days and informal meetups.
These events are a chance to relax, share experiences, ask questions and build professional contacts with other nurses who truly understand the pressures and rewards of CHC work.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
New members are welcomed into our confidential, invite-only social media groups, where professional issues and clinical dilemmas can be discussed in a safe, supportive environment.
Many of our members build friendships that last for years, using the network as a trusted space to debrief, problem-solve and gain reassurance from fellow CHC agency nurses.
Supporting Safe Transitions of Care in CHC
Hospital Discharge, Community Placement & Step-Down Pathways
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and other community settings can be particularly complex when Continuing Healthcare funding is involved.
Through our training and shared learning, we support nurses to manage safe, well-coordinated transitions that protect patients, families and staff while aligning with CHC processes.
Person-Centred Planning for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Many CHC packages involve individuals with learning disabilities (LD), autism, behaviour that challenges and other complex needs.
Within the network we share best practice on person-centred planning, positive risk-taking, communication, behaviour support and community inclusion, helping agency nurses provide safe and dignified care.
