CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Agency Nurses
Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support, Training & Community for UK Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy specialising in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nurse support and specialist healthcare training for nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
Our mission is to improve patient outcomes and nurse wellbeing by combining expert CHC consultancy, practical training, and a strong professional peer network where agency nurses can connect, learn and grow together.
With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we help organisations navigate complex UK healthcare regulations while supporting nurses with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to deliver safe, person‑centred care in CHC and community settings.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a professional support network where agency nurses can relax, share experiences and access high‑quality CHC education and guidance.
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together, and most of our nurses stay in touch every day via our confidential, invite‑only social media groups.
We welcome new members into our private CHC agency nurse groups, where professional issues can be openly and safely discussed 24/7/365, and where many nurses form long‑lasting friendships and valuable professional connections.
Our Core Services at CHC Nurses Agency Network
Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Planning
Seamless CHC Support During Critical Transitions
We understand that care transitions—such as moving from hospital to home, community or care home—are high‑risk periods for patients and stressful times for families and staff.
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants provide expert guidance to ensure that each transition is safe, coordinated and person‑centred, with clear communication between all agencies involved.
Every transition plan is individually tailored to the clinical and social needs of the person, helping to minimise delays, prevent readmissions and support continuity of care.
Pre‑CQC Assessment & Compliance Support
Preparing Services, Teams & Agency Nurses for CQC Success
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre‑CQC assessment services for providers and teams who work with CHC‑funded patients, including community, domiciliary and care home environments.
Our senior nurses review your policies, documentation, care plans, risk assessments and CHC-related processes to identify strengths, gaps and compliance risks ahead of Care Quality Commission inspections.
We provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen governance, quality assurance, dignity in care and safe staffing, helping you to be inspection‑ready and confident about meeting CQC expectations.
Personalised Care & Support Plans for Learning Disabilities
Person‑Centred CHC Support for People with Learning Disabilities
Our network includes nurses with significant experience in learning disability (LD) nursing and CHC funding for LD patients.
We help organisations and agency nurses to develop personalised care and support plans that promote independence, dignity, choice and safety for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.
Using evidence‑based and person‑centred approaches, we ensure that physical health, communication, behaviour, mental health and safeguarding needs are fully reflected within CHC assessments and care plans.
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development
CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Build Confidence in CHC Assessments, Funding & Legal Frameworks
The CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers specialist Continuing Healthcare training for agency nurses, nurse assessors, case managers and provider staff involved in CHC‑funded care.
Our courses cover the CHC National Framework, checklist completion, Decision Support Tool (DST) evidence gathering, eligibility criteria, appeals, care planning and the Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) application process.
All training is delivered by experienced CHC professionals and is designed to increase knowledge, legal awareness and confidence so that nurses can advocate effectively for patients and maintain compliance with UK standards.
CHC‑Focused Events, Webinars & Sector Updates
Stay Current with Changing CHC Policy & Best Practice
We host and participate in a wide range of CHC‑focused events, including live webinars, Q&A sessions, in‑depth workshops and networking meet‑ups for agency nurses and healthcare leaders.
These events offer practical insight into CHC policy changes, ICB processes, legal rulings, documentation standards and real‑world case studies, allowing nurses to stay up to date in a rapidly evolving field.
Our events also create space for nurses to share experiences, ask questions and build relationships with peers who understand the unique pressures of CHC and agency work.
Case Management & CHC Coordination Support
Person‑Centred Case Management for Complex CHC Packages
Our case management support helps ensure that people in receipt of NHS Continuing Healthcare funding receive safe, consistent and holistic care across multiple providers and disciplines.
We collaborate with patients, families, commissioners, agencies and multidisciplinary teams to develop comprehensive, person‑centred CHC care plans that reflect clinical need, personal preferences and legal requirements.
By prioritising clear communication, risk management and outcome‑focused planning, we support improved quality of life, appropriate resource use and stronger regulatory compliance for CHC services.
Community, Connection & Peer Support for Agency Nurses
A Safe Space Where Nurses Understand Each Other
Every nurse knows that only another nurse truly understands the emotional and physical demands of the job—especially in CHC and agency environments.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, supportive space where you can talk openly about the realities of nursing, share challenges, celebrate wins and access guidance from colleagues who have been there too.
Many nurses in our network become friends for life, building a trusted circle of peers who provide both professional and personal support throughout their careers.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Professional Discussion
We host several confidential, invite‑only social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses, where you can ask questions, share resources and discuss cases (without sharing identifiable patient details).
These groups are active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, meaning you are never alone—no matter when you are on shift or what you are dealing with.
Our core network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals regularly supports each other with practical advice, job leads, training opportunities and emotional support.
