CHC Nurses Agency Network: Community, Training & Support for CHC Nurses
The UK’s Dedicated Community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional hub created by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses and healthcare providers across the UK.
We bring together agency nurses, CHC specialists, and healthcare professionals to share knowledge, build connections, access expert training, and improve the quality of Continuing Healthcare and community care.
Empowering CHC & Agency Nurses Through Community, Training & Consultancy
Working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency nursing can be highly rewarding, but also demanding and complex.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures of assessments, care planning, funding decisions, and the emotional load that comes with frontline care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network exists to support you professionally and personally—helping you grow your career, stay compliant, and feel genuinely connected to colleagues who “get it”.
What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Our network is a safe, supportive space where CHC and agency nurses can connect, share experiences, and access peer support 24/7.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, many members build lasting friendships and professional relationships that continue for years.
We welcome new members into our private, invite-only social media groups, where you can discuss clinical issues, share resources, and get real-time advice from experienced CHC nurses.
Specialist CHC & Healthcare Training for Nurses
We provide focused CHC training programmes designed for agency nurses, case managers, and healthcare professionals involved in Continuing Healthcare and community care.
Our training covers topics such as CHC assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) processes, care planning, mental capacity, best interest decisions, and regulatory compliance.
Delivered by experienced CHC professionals, our courses help you increase confidence, stay up to date with national guidance, and develop advanced skills in complex care.
Healthcare Consultancy & CHC Practice Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy and advisory support to healthcare providers, agencies, and individual nurses working in CHC.
We help you understand and implement CHC policies, improve documentation, strengthen governance, and align practice with NHS and regulatory expectations.
Our practical, nurse-led guidance is designed to support safe, person-centred care while improving operational efficiency and standards of practice.
Safe Transitions & Continuity of Care
Transitions between hospital, home, and community settings are critical moments for patients and their families.
We provide guidance and resources to support safe, seamless transitions of care, particularly for individuals receiving CHC or complex community-based packages.
Our focus is on maintaining safety, dignity, clear communication, and continuity, so that patients experience stable, high-quality care across settings.
Pre-CQC Preparation & Quality Assurance Support
For providers and agencies, preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can feel daunting—especially when CHC and complex care are involved.
Through our network of experienced nurses and consultants, we offer support in reviewing your clinical documentation, care planning processes, and CHC-related practice.
Our feedback is practical and focused on helping you strengthen quality assurance, demonstrate compliance, and embed continuous improvement.
Supporting Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs
Many CHC patients and service users live with learning disabilities, autism, or other complex needs, requiring highly personalised, person-centred support.
We promote best practice in developing care and support plans that encourage independence, dignity, safety, and meaningful quality of life.
Through peer discussions, resources, and training, our network supports nurses to deliver safe, compassionate care to vulnerable individuals in community and residential settings.
Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoLS
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Education
The CHC Nurses Agency Network specialises in CHC-specific education for nurses involved in assessments, reviews, care co-ordination, and funding decisions.
Our sessions explore the National Framework, eligibility criteria, evidence gathering, decision-making, and best practice documentation.
By strengthening CHC knowledge, we help nurses advocate effectively for patients while supporting fair, consistent, and legally robust decisions.
CHC Events, Workshops & Networking Opportunities
We run regular CHC-focused events—both online and in person—to bring our community of agency and CHC nurses together.
These events include workshops, webinars, networking sessions, and peer discussion spaces that cover emerging policy changes, case law updates, and real-world practice challenges.
Members often stay in contact long after events, building a professional support network that strengthens both career development and day-to-day practice.
Expert Case Management Insight & Peer Support
Many nurses in our network work in or alongside case management, complex care coordination, and CHC-funded packages.
Through our community, you can access peer insight on managing complex cases, multidisciplinary working, risk management, and person-centred care planning.
While we are not a direct case management service, our members share practical experience that helps you navigate resource optimisation, legal frameworks, and ethical decision-making.
