CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Specialist Community Nursing & CHC Support Partner
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses, Community Nursing & Healthcare Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) specialist nurses, agency nurses, and healthcare providers seeking expert guidance, training, and peer support in community and complex care settings.
We bring together a national community of experienced CHC nurses to share knowledge, improve skills, and support organisations in delivering safe, person-centred, and compliant care across hospitals, care homes, and community settings.
Through specialist training, consultancy, networking, and events, we help nurses and healthcare providers navigate the complexities of CHC, CQC, case management, and learning disability support, while prioritising both professional development and work-life balance.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive, professional community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals who collaborate via confidential, invite-only social media groups, live events, and online training.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressure, emotional demands, and complexity of our work; our network exists to provide practical support, trusted advice, and a safe space to share experiences 24/7/365.
Many members build long-lasting friendships, create new career opportunities, and gain confidence in navigating CHC funding, community care, and regulatory requirements through our active, engaged community.
Our Core Services: Empowering CHC Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
Support for CHC Agency Nurses & Community Nurses
Peer Support, Networking & Career Development
We provide a professional home for CHC agency nurses looking to connect with like-minded colleagues, share clinical challenges, and develop specialist skills in continuing healthcare and complex community care.
Through private social media groups, online forums, and regular meetups, our members access real-time peer support, job opportunities, and insights into best practice in CHC nursing.
Transitions in Healthcare: Ensuring Continuity of Care
Expert Guidance for Safe CHC & Community Transitions
Transitions between hospital, home, and community care can be complex, especially for patients eligible for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) or under Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) safeguards.
Our network of experienced CHC nurses and consultants supports organisations in planning safe, well-coordinated transitions that reduce risk, minimise delays, and maintain dignity and continuity of care for every patient.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Support
Prepare Your Service for CQC Success
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be demanding for care homes, community services, and CHC providers.
We offer pre-CQC readiness support through our expert network, helping you review policies, documentation, care records, and governance so you can confidently meet regulatory and quality standards related to CHC and complex care.
Personalised Care & Support Planning for Learning Disabilities
Person-Centred Plans that Promote Independence
Our members have extensive experience in learning disability nursing and CHC-funded support, with a focus on person-centred care planning that promotes independence, choice, and quality of life.
We share evidence-based tools, templates, and best practice guidance to help nurses and providers design and implement robust care and support plans for people with learning disabilities and complex needs.
Specialist Training & Events for CHC Nurses and Providers
CHC & Community DoL Application Process Training
Master CHC Eligibility, Assessments & Funding Pathways
We provide and signpost to specialist CHC training courses covering the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) process, including the Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST), eligibility criteria, and community DoL (Deprivation of Liberty) considerations.
Our training focuses on practical, real-world application, helping nurses and providers understand documentation, evidence gathering, multidisciplinary assessments, and how to advocate effectively for patients and families.
CHC-Focused Events, Workshops & Webinars
Stay Current, Connected & Informed
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events designed specifically for CHC agency nurses and healthcare professionals working in continuing healthcare and community nursing.
Our events cover policy updates, case law, best practice, documentation, safeguarding, and MDT working, while also offering valuable opportunities for networking and peer learning.
Expert Case Management & Complex Care Support
Promoting Safe, Joined-Up, Person-Centred Care
Members of our network are skilled in case management and complex care coordination, particularly for CHC-funded packages, community placements, and long-term conditions.
We support providers and professionals in designing holistic, person-centred care plans, coordinating multi-agency input, and ensuring that care is safe, lawful, and outcome-focused.
A Community Designed by Nurses, for Nurses
A Safe Space to Talk, Share & Grow
Our confidential, invite-only social media groups run 24-7-365, enabling nurses to share professional issues, discuss complex cases (anonymously where appropriate), and gain support from colleagues who understand the realities of CHC and agency nursing.
Whether you need help with documentation, CHC assessments, boundaries, resilience, or clinical queries, you’ll find an experienced community ready to listen and offer evidence-based advice.
Relax, Connect & Build Lasting Professional Relationships
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a space to relax and connect on a personal level, not just a professional one.
Many nurses in our network have become close friends, mentors, and lifelong colleagues, supporting one another through career changes, new roles, and the everyday pressures of nursing.
