CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Professional Network, Training & Consultancy for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We bring together experienced agency nurses, provide expert CHC training, and support healthcare organisations to deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of the job. Our network creates a supportive, professional space where CHC nurses can connect, learn, ask questions and share real-world experience 24/7.
Alongside our private community, we deliver CHC-focused training, case management support, pre-CQC preparation and consultancy to help healthcare providers meet regulatory standards and optimise care for people with complex needs.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals from across the UK. We connect via confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular online and in-person events.
Members use the network to:
- Discuss complex CHC cases and share best practice
- Keep up-to-date with policy and legal changes in CHC and community care
- Gain peer support around professional issues and workplace challenges
- Access specialist CHC training and workshops
- Expand their professional network and career opportunities
Many nurses in our network build professional relationships that often turn into lasting friendships, helping reduce isolation and burnout while improving practice standards.
CHC Training & Education for Agency Nurses
We specialise in practical, up-to-date education around Continuing Healthcare, community practice and complex care. All training is built by experienced CHC practitioners, for frontline nurses.
Specialist CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Understanding CHC, Eligibility & Funding Pathways
Our CHC training programmes give agency nurses and healthcare teams a step-by-step understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, assessments, checklists, MDTs and funding decisions. We break down the National Framework into real-world, nurse-led practice so you can confidently support CHC applications and reviews.
Building Confidence in Assessments & Documentation
We focus on practical skills: completing high-quality CHC documentation, writing evidence-based care plans, supporting MDT meetings, and navigating community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) applications. Nurses leave our sessions more confident, more knowledgeable and better equipped to advocate for people with complex health needs.
Additional Courses, Events & Learning Opportunities
CHC-Focused Events, Webinars & Workshops
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, webinars, seminars and Q&A sessions on key topics in CHC and complex care. These events help nurses stay current with policy updates, legal judgments, CQC expectations and best practice in continuing healthcare and community nursing.
Case Management & Complex Care Planning Training
Our case management training supports nurses to coordinate multi-disciplinary input, create person-centred care plans, manage risk, and ensure compliance with CHC and safeguarding requirements. Strong case management improves outcomes, reduces delays and supports safe discharge and ongoing community care.
Consultancy & Support for Healthcare Organisations
Beyond supporting individual nurses, we work closely with healthcare providers, agencies and care services to improve CHC practice, governance and regulatory compliance.
Pre-CQC Assessments, Quality Standards & Governance
Preparing Your Service for CQC Inspections
We carry out pre-CQC assessments focused on CHC and complex care pathways. Our consultants review policies, procedures, care records and frontline practice to identify gaps against CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and national CHC standards.
Improving Compliance, Documentation & Efficiency
Our recommendations help you strengthen clinical governance, record-keeping, staff training and risk management. With our support, services can streamline workflows, reduce avoidable errors, prepare confidently for inspection, and demonstrate safe, effective and person-centred care.
Transitions of Care & Person-Centred Planning
Supporting Safe Transitions Across Care Settings
Transitions such as hospital discharge to community, step-down care or changes in placement can be high-risk for people eligible for CHC. We support organisations and nurses to plan and coordinate transitions that protect continuity, safety and legal compliance.
Learning Disability (LD) & Complex Needs Care Planning
We assist with developing person-centred support plans for individuals with learning disabilities, autism and complex health needs. Our approach promotes independence, dignity, communication needs, and positive risk-taking while aligning with CHC funding and safeguarding frameworks.
Community, Peer Support & Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
Private, Confidential Social Media Groups
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stay in touch through confidential, invite-only social media groups where members share professional issues, ask clinical or CHC-related questions, and offer peer guidance 24/7, 365 days a year.
Events That Build Real Connections
We run regular online meetups, teaching sessions and occasional in-person events designed to bring CHC agency nurses together. Many members have met through the network and maintained close professional and personal relationships for years.
Whether you are new to CHC, an experienced CHC practitioner, or exploring agency work, our community can help you develop your knowledge, feel supported and grow your career.
