CHC Nurses Agency Network: Empowering CHC & Community Nurses
Specialist Community, Training & Consultancy for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community, and complex care settings across the UK.
We bring together experienced CHC agency nurses to share expertise, develop skills, support each other, and stay up to date with best practice, CQC requirements, and CHC funding regulations.
Through specialist training, peer support, consultancy and networking events, we help nurses and healthcare providers deliver safe, person-centred and compliant care in complex community and CHC environments.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a typical nursing agency—it’s a professional support network where CHC and community nurses can connect, learn and grow together.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of CHC and community nursing, particularly in agency roles.
Our network provides a safe, confidential space to discuss clinical challenges, regulatory changes, and day-to-day realities, while building lasting professional and personal relationships.
Core Benefits of Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network
Professional Peer Support 24/7/365
We maintain confidential, invite-only social media groups where over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals share advice, resources and real-world experiences all year round.
Members can ask clinical, professional or regulatory questions at any time and receive support from nurses who truly understand CHC, Community DoL, complex care and multidisciplinary working.
Regular Networking Events & Meet-Ups
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, including study days, webinars, discussion panels and informal socials.
These events help CHC nurses to build professional contacts, share best practice, support wellbeing and stay connected beyond individual assignments or employers.
Relaxed, Supportive Community Culture
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, debrief and be understood; many nurses in our network become friends and remain connected for years.
We promote a culture of respect, confidentiality, and mutual support, recognising the unique pressures of CHC assessments, community visits, complex case management and lone working.
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development
CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Care Planning Training
We offer targeted training for CHC nurses on Continuing Healthcare eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), assessments and person-centred care planning.
Our sessions help agency and community nurses to understand CHC frameworks, document clinical evidence effectively, and contribute confidently to MDT meetings and review processes.
Community DoL & Legal Safeguarding Training
Our expert-led training explains the Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) application process, legal safeguards, and practical responsibilities for nurses.
Nurses gain clear, practical guidance on documentation, capacity assessments, best-interest decisions and working within the Mental Capacity Act and safeguarding frameworks.
CQC Awareness & Compliance for Agency Nurses
We support our members to understand how CQC standards apply to agency and community practice, including record-keeping, incident reporting and documentation in home and care settings.
Training focuses on translating CQC regulations into everyday practice, helping nurses contribute to safe, compliant care and positive inspection outcomes for the services they support.
CHC & Community Practice Support for Nurses
Support with Complex Transitions of Care
Members share expertise and resources on safe transitions between hospital, home and community settings, especially for CHC-funded individuals and those with complex needs.
Through peer learning and shared tools, we help nurses plan and deliver coordinated, person-centred transitions that prioritise safety, continuity and quality of life.
Learning Disability & Complex Needs Support
Our network includes nurses experienced in Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, mental health and complex physical health, who share practical approaches to personalised care and support planning.
This collective knowledge helps members deliver dignified, inclusive and rights-focused care in community and home-based settings.
Events, Webinars & CHC-Focused Learning
Learning from Experienced CHC Nurses & Industry Experts
Our workshops, webinars and live Q&A sessions feature experienced CHC nurses, case managers, solicitors and healthcare leaders.
These sessions give members insight into current CHC policy, best practice in documentation, funding disputes, risk management, and multi-agency working.
Practical Updates on CHC, CQC & Legal Changes
We keep our community updated on changes in CHC guidance, CQC expectations, safeguarding, Community DoL and wider healthcare regulations relevant to agency and community nursing.
Our aim is to turn complex policy into clear, practical actions that nurses can apply immediately in practice, protecting patients, professionals and providers alike.
