CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses

Your Professional Hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Expertise & Nurse Wellbeing

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community created by nurses, for nurses, with a focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) practice, support and education.

We bring together agency nurses, CHC specialists, and healthcare professionals to share knowledge, build confidence, and navigate the realities of working in CHC and complex care settings.

About CHC Nurses Agency Network

The CHC Nurses Agency Network was founded to support agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community services, and complex care roles.

We provide a safe, supportive environment where nurses can develop professionally, access expert CHC training, discuss real-world challenges, and connect with peers who truly understand the pressures of nursing.

Our core network includes around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who engage daily via confidential, invite-only social media groups, regular events, and ongoing peer support.

What We Do for CHC Agency Nurses

1. Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses

We offer focused CHC training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses working in community, complex care, and CHC assessment roles.

Our training helps you understand CHC eligibility, checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) processes, funding pathways, and documentation requirements so you can work confidently and compliantly in CHC environments.

2. Pre-CQC and Quality Compliance Support

For agency nurses and teams working with CQC-regulated services, we share guidance on pre-CQC preparation, documentation, and quality standards.

Through peer discussion, templates, and expert-led sessions, we help you understand what good looks like in CHC and community services and how to evidence safe, person-centred care.

3. Support with Transitions & Person-Centred Care in CHC

Transitions between hospital, home, and care settings are high-risk moments for people eligible for CHC and complex care packages.

Within our network, nurses share best practice on safe discharge planning, person-centred approaches, risk management, and communication with multidisciplinary teams, so you can better support patients and families through change.

4. Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs Care Support

Many CHC agency nurses work with individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and complex physical or mental health needs.

We provide a space to discuss LD care plans, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), communication strategies, and person-centred approaches that promote dignity, independence and quality of life.

5. CHC & Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) Knowledge Sharing

Understanding CHC and Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS / Community DoL) processes is essential for safe and lawful practice.

Our network supports nurses to strengthen their knowledge of eligibility, legal frameworks, capacity assessments and application procedures, so they can advocate effectively for the people they support.

6. Regular CHC Events, Webinars & Workshops

We run regular online and in-person events for CHC agency nurses, including webinars, Q&A sessions, informal meetups, and educational workshops.

These events cover topics such as CHC updates, documentation, safeguarding, mental health, LD care, and professional resilience, as well as informal networking to build long-term professional relationships.

7. Peer-Led Case Discussion & Informal Case Management Support

While we do not replace formal case management, our community enables peer-led discussions around complex cases, ethical dilemmas, risk, and best practice.

Experienced CHC nurses share insights on liaising with CHC teams, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), social care, and families, helping members to feel less isolated in challenging roles.

8. Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Professional Support

Members gain access to confidential, invite-only social media groups where professional issues are discussed openly 24/7.

Whether you need quick peer advice, emotional support after a difficult shift, or guidance on a CHC process, our community is there all year round: 24-7-365.

9. Professional Networking & Long-Term Friendships

Many nurses in our network develop strong professional relationships that evolve into long-term friendships.

As nurses ourselves, we understand that only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and mental demands of the job, which is why we place such emphasis on connection, understanding and mutual respect.

10. Career Development & Opportunities in CHC

The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you grow your career by improving your knowledge of CHC practice, law, and policy, as well as your clinical documentation and communication skills.

By expanding your professional contacts and CHC expertise, you increase your opportunities for specialist agency roles, senior clinical positions, and advisory or assessment posts within the CHC system.
