CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support, Training and Community for CHC Nurses
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK, offering specialist training, consultancy, peer support and regular networking events.
Created by nurses who understand the pressures of frontline practice, our network gives CHC professionals a safe, supportive space to share knowledge, develop skills and build long‑term connections that enhance both careers and patient outcomes.
Comprehensive CHC Training and Professional Development for Agency Nurses
Specialist Continuing Healthcare Courses Tailored to Agency Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community settings and complex care.
Our courses cover end‑to‑end CHC processes, including eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, robust care planning, complex discharge pathways and compliance with national frameworks.
Every session is delivered by experienced CHC clinicians who translate complex guidance into practical, real‑world skills that agency nurses can apply immediately in their roles.
Interactive, Up‑to‑Date Learning on CHC, DoLS and Community Practice
Our training blends interactive workshops, live case studies, discussion groups and scenario‑based learning to support deep understanding and confident decision‑making in CHC work.
Content is regularly updated in line with NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, Community DoLS and Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) developments, ensuring members stay ahead of policy and practice changes.
Agency nurses leave our sessions with enhanced confidence in documentation, MDT contributions, funding pathways and person‑centred care delivery in community and home settings.
Specialist Support and Consultancy for CHC and Complex Care
Guidance on CHC Assessments, Reviews and Appeals
Through the CHC Nurses Agency Network, members can access expert guidance around CHC assessments, fast‑track applications, three‑month reviews and annual reviews.
We support nurses to interpret the National Framework, document clinical evidence effectively and contribute confidently to multi‑disciplinary meetings and complex funding decisions.
Support for Safe Transitions and Community Case Management
Safe transitions between hospital, nursing homes and home‑based care are central to good CHC practice, and our network shares best practice to make these transitions as smooth and person‑centred as possible.
Members exchange practical tools for discharge planning, risk management, contingency planning and effective communication across teams, helping to maintain continuity of care in complex cases.
Person‑Centred Care for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many CHC agency nurses support people with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and enduring mental health needs in community settings.
Within our network, nurses share person‑centred care planning approaches that promote independence, dignity and safety, underpinned by evidence‑based practice and legal frameworks such as MCA and DoLS.
A Strong Peer Network and Supportive CHC Community
Private Social Media Groups for Real‑Time Professional Support
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a core community of around 500 CHC agency nurses who stay connected via invite‑only, confidential social media groups.
Members openly share professional issues, ask clinical questions, discuss CHC cases (respecting confidentiality) and offer each other advice, 24‑7‑365.
Because every member is a nurse, you are speaking with professionals who genuinely understand the pressures, workload and emotional demands of CHC and complex care work.
Regular Events, Networking and Long‑Term Connections
We run regular online and in‑person events that bring CHC agency nurses together to learn, share and relax.
These events cover CHC policy updates, best practice sessions, peer‑led case discussions and informal meet‑ups that allow nurses to connect outside of intense clinical environments.
Many nurses in our community form strong professional relationships and friendships that last for years, providing a vital support network throughout their CHC careers.
Staying Ahead in CHC, DoLS and Community Practice
CHC‑Focused Events, Updates and Policy Briefings
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in specialist Continuing Healthcare events focused on eligibility criteria, funding processes, appeals, commissioning and community service design.
Members gain early insight into guidance changes, legal updates, case law and best practice trends, helping them remain compliant and effective in rapidly evolving CHC environments.
Practical Resources for Documentation, Compliance and Quality
We share practical templates, checklists and examples to support high‑quality notes, DST completion, risk assessments and person‑centred care plans in CHC and community nursing.
By learning from peers with extensive CHC experience, agency nurses can enhance both the quality and efficiency of their documentation and clinical decision‑making.
Develop Your CHC Career Within a Supportive Agency Nurse Network
Career Growth, Mentoring and Opportunities
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is not a recruitment agency, but our strong professional community naturally connects nurses with new opportunities, projects and roles within CHC and community care.
Members benefit from informal mentoring, interview tips, guidance on portfolio building and shared insight into working patterns, rates and expectations across different organisations.
Wellbeing, Work–Life Balance and Peer Understanding
We recognise that CHC and agency nursing can be emotionally and physically demanding, especially when working independently in the community.
Our network creates a relaxed, understanding environment where nurses can talk honestly about stress, burnout, boundaries and self‑care, supported by colleagues who truly “get it”.
