CHC Nurses Agency Network – Community, Training & Support for CHC Nurses
The UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy service created specifically for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare professionals across the UK.
We bring CHC nurses together to share knowledge, build professional connections, and access expert guidance on best practice, compliance, case management, and person-centred care – all within a safe, confidential, and supportive environment.
A Relaxed, Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures of nursing, especially in complex areas like NHS Continuing Healthcare and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a space to relax, debrief, and connect with other professionals who face the same daily challenges, clinical demands, and emotional pressures.
Many of our members develop long-term friendships and professional partnerships, supporting each other through their careers while sharing valuable insights, clinical experience, and practical tips.
Our Core Services & Support
Professional Networking & Private Social Media Groups
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our core online community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, all connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
We openly share professional issues, clinical scenarios, CHC queries, and peer support 24/7, 365 days a year, so you are never alone when facing complex decisions or demanding caseloads.
New members are welcomed into our private social media groups and events, giving you instant access to an experienced and approachable peer network.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Learning Sessions
We run regular online and in-person events designed specifically for CHC agency nurses and CHC-aligned professionals.
These include networking meet-ups, CPD learning sessions, case discussions, CHC updates, and informal social gatherings, all aimed at building relationships, confidence, and competence in CHC practice.
Our events are a powerful way to grow your professional network, stay current with CHC policy changes, and feel part of a like-minded nursing community.
CHC Training & Community DoL Application Process Support
Understanding the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) assessments, funding eligibility, and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) application processes can be challenging – even for experienced nurses.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist CHC training, guidance and shared learning to help you:
- Navigate the CHC checklist, DST (Decision Support Tool), and appeals
- Understand funding pathways and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working
- Improve your documentation, evidence gathering, and clinical reporting
- Gain clarity on Community DoL application processes and legal frameworks
Our aim is to help CHC nurses achieve better outcomes for patients, while working confidently and compliantly within national guidance.
CQC Readiness & Compliance Insight for CHC Agency Nurses
While we are a community network rather than a regulator, our members share extensive experience of CQC standards, audits, and inspections from across multiple healthcare settings.
Through shared experience, peer advice, and expert-led sessions, we help CHC nurses understand:
- What good looks like in CHC practice from a CQC perspective
- How to maintain safe, effective, person-centred care and documentation
- How to work in line with policies, procedures, and best practice frameworks
This collective insight supports you to work in a way that protects patients, protects your practice, and supports organisational compliance.
Person-Centred Care for People with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC agency nurses support individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) in community, residential, and supported living settings.
Within the network, we share evidence-based approaches, person-centred planning tools, risk management strategies, and communication techniques to support people with complex needs.
Our focus is always on respect, dignity, independence, and quality of life – helping nurses deliver care that is safe, compassionate, and aligned with individual preferences and rights.
Expert Case Management & Best Practice Sharing
Many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are involved in complex case management, including high-dependency community packages and multi-agency care.
Through our groups and events, members share practical case management strategies around:
- Comprehensive care planning and review
- Multi-disciplinary and multi-agency coordination
- Risk assessment, safeguarding, and legal considerations
- Balancing clinical needs, patient choice, and resource use
This peer exchange helps CHC nurses to refine their case management skills and improve the continuity, safety, and quality of care they deliver.
