CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Consultancy for Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Professional Development, Community & Strategic Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community nursing and complex care settings. We combine expert CHC training, specialist consultancy services and a thriving peer support network to help nurses and healthcare providers deliver safe, person-centred and compliant care.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network recognises the unique pressures of CHC and agency work. We provide structured learning, practical tools, and a confidential space to connect with experienced CHC professionals, so you can grow your career, improve outcomes for patients and feel supported every step of the way.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 specialist CHC and agency nursing professionals who share knowledge, resources and experience every day through invite-only, confidential social media groups, online platforms and in-person events.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and professional demands of nursing. Our network is a safe place to relax, ask questions, offload, learn and build lasting professional relationships that often become genuine friendships.
Core Services & Areas of Expertise
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Providers
We deliver targeted Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training for agency nurses, case managers and healthcare providers who work with complex care packages in community and residential settings.
Our programmes cover CHC eligibility criteria, assessment tools, checklists and DSTs, funding processes and appeals, ensuring you understand how to navigate the full CHC pathway confidently and compliantly.
Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Discharge Support
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and other settings are particularly challenging for adults with complex health needs and CHC eligibility.
We offer guidance and consultancy to support safe discharge planning, continuity of care and coordinated community support, minimising risk and improving outcomes for patients and their families.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Assurance Support
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can feel overwhelming, especially when CHC-funded packages and complex cases are involved.
Our team supports providers and nursing teams with pre-CQC assessments, policy reviews, audit tools and quality improvement plans to help you evidence safe, effective and person-centred care consistent with CQC standards.
Person-Centred Care Planning for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Many CHC and complex care packages involve patients living with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and multiple co-existing health needs.
We support nurses and providers to create person-centred care and support plans that prioritise independence, dignity, communication and quality of life, while ensuring robust risk management and clinical safety.
CHC & Community DoLS Application Training
We offer practical training on CHC funding processes and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) in community and care home settings.
Our sessions demystify assessments, documentation, legal frameworks and best-interest decision making, helping nurses to protect patients’ rights while meeting statutory responsibilities.
Events, Webinars & Peer Learning in CHC
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, webinars and workshops focused on CHC practice, complex care, clinical skills and professional resilience.
These events keep you up to date with policy changes, NHS CHC guidance and emerging best practice, while giving you the chance to share real-world experiences with peers who understand your work.
Specialist CHC Case Management & Consultancy
Our experienced CHC nurse consultants offer specialist case management support for complex individuals, multidisciplinary teams and providers.
We help coordinate person-centred planning, multidisciplinary input, resource optimisation and compliance across the CHC pathway, improving safety, consistency and quality of life for patients and families.
