CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist NHS Continuing Healthcare Nursing Community, Training & Consultancy

Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings.
We provide a safe, supportive space for agency nurses to connect, learn, share expertise and access specialist CHC training, events and consultancy support.

As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of frontline care.
Our network brings together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in private, invite-only groups, helping you build trusted relationships, gain confidence and navigate the complexities of CHC practice.

A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a mailing list – it is a living, active community where nurses support each other professionally and personally.
Members regularly stay in touch, problem-solve together and build friendships that often last for many years.

Through private social media groups, targeted events and shared learning, we help agency nurses feel less isolated, more informed and better equipped to deliver safe, person-centred CHC care.
Our community is open to new and experienced agency nurses who want to grow, connect and contribute.

Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

Joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you access to a unique blend of peer support, CHC-specific training, consultancy insight and networking opportunities that you rarely find elsewhere in agency nursing.

  • Connect with a core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses across the UK.
  • Share real-life professional issues 24/7/365 through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
  • Access CHC-focused education, discussions and case-based learning.
  • Stay up to date with NHS Continuing Healthcare policy changes, best practice and documentation.

  • Develop your career in CHC nursing with more knowledge, confidence and visibility.

Regular Events for CHC Agency Nurses

We run regular online and in-person events designed to bring our CHC nursing community together.
These sessions are practical, informal and focused on the real challenges that CHC agency nurses face every day.

Our events may include:

  • CHC-focused workshops on assessments, decision support tools and documentation.
  • Peer-learning sessions to discuss complex cases and share approaches.
  • Networking meet-ups for agency nurses working in similar regions or specialties.
  • Question-and-answer sessions on CHC processes, funding and community DoLS.

Many nurses who meet through these events stay connected long after, creating ongoing professional and social support.

Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals

As part of our mission to raise standards in Continuing Healthcare, we support access to specialist training and education for nurses, case managers and wider healthcare teams.
Our content is tailored to the realities of CHC practice in NHS and community settings.

Typical CHC topics covered through our network include:

  • Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and the National Framework.
  • CHC eligibility assessments, checklists and Decision Support Tools (DST).
  • Person-centred care planning in CHC and complex community care.
  • Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications and legal considerations.
  • Documentation, record-keeping and evidence gathering for CHC reviews and appeals.
  • Managing risk, safeguarding and safe transitions of care in CHC.

Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and nurses, with an emphasis on practical application, real-world examples and current best practice.

CHC-Focused Consultancy Insight & Professional Support

While we are first and foremost a nursing network, we also share access to consultancy-style support, insight and guidance relevant to CHC nurses and organisations working in this field.
This helps both individual nurses and providers improve service quality, compliance and care outcomes.

Through our community and partner experts, members can explore:

  • Good practice in CHC case management and coordination.
  • Preparing for quality and regulatory reviews in CHC and community settings.
  • Developing robust, person-centred support plans for complex and long-term conditions.
  • Best practice in transitions of care between hospital, home and community placements.
  • Supporting adults with Learning Disabilities and complex behavioural needs within CHC.

This shared knowledge helps CHC nurses feel better prepared to support patients, families and multidisciplinary teams in highly complex situations.

Supporting Transitions in Continuing Healthcare

Safe, well-planned transitions of care are vital for people receiving NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Within our network we regularly discuss and share strategies for managing moves between hospital, care homes and community or home-based care.

By drawing on the experience of hundreds of CHC agency nurses, our community helps members reduce risk, maintain continuity and place the person’s wishes and safety at the centre of every transition.

Best Practice in CHC Documentation, Reviews and Appeals

Accurate, detailed and person-centred documentation is central to fair CHC decisions and safe ongoing care.
Through the network, members share insight on best practice for CHC reviews, reassessments and appeals.

We explore practical approaches to evidence gathering, MDT working and sharing information with families and advocates, helping nurses feel more confident in complex CHC cases.

Supporting Individuals with Learning Disabilities in CHC

Many CHC-funded individuals have Learning Disabilities, autism or complex behavioural needs that require highly personalised, consistent support.
Our community shares approaches to delivering person-centred, dignity-focused care in line with the latest evidence and national guidance.

Nurses discuss real scenarios, communication strategies, positive behaviour support and ways to promote independence, safety and quality of life in community settings.

Understanding CHC & Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS)

Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) and related legal frameworks can be challenging for frontline staff to navigate.
Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, members access peer support and educational content focused on DoLS in community and CHC environments.

Topics discussed include recognising restrictions, completing applications, working with local authorities and ensuring that rights, safeguards and best interests are properly upheld.

Engaging in CHC-Related Events, Workshops & Discussions

To help members stay current, the CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and signposts events, webinars and informal discussions focused specifically on CHC practice.
These sessions provide updates on policy changes, decision-making guidance, case law and clinical developments affecting CHC.

By taking part, nurses enhance their professional knowledge, expand their networks and strengthen their ability to deliver safe, lawful and compassionate CHC care in any setting.

Confidential, Invite-Only Social Media Groups for CHC Nurses

At the heart of our network are our confidential, invite-only social media groups, active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Here, agency nurses can safely share professional issues, questions, experiences and resources with colleagues who understand CHC.

Participation is moderated to maintain professionalism, confidentiality and respect, ensuring a supportive and constructive environment for all members.
