CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Training, CHC Support & Community for Nurses in the UK
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based nursing network and consultancy dedicated to supporting agency nurses and healthcare providers involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care in the community.
We bring together expert training, CHC advisory services, and a thriving peer-to-peer community to help nurses progress their careers, enhance their skills, and deliver safe, high-quality patient care.
Created by nurses, for nurses, our network recognises the realities of agency work, the pressures of frontline practice, and the complexity of CHC processes.
Through specialist training, guidance on CHC pathways, CQC compliance support, and 24/7 professional networking, we help you navigate challenges with confidence and improve outcomes for the people you care for.
A Professional Network Built Exclusively for CHC Agency Nurses
A Supportive Community That Understands Agency Nursing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, connect, and grow professionally.
Only another nurse truly understands the workload, responsibility, and emotional impact that come with agency nursing and complex CHC caseloads, which is why our network is built around shared experience and mutual support.
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nurses stays in touch daily through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
Members openly share professional issues, offer advice, discuss CHC cases (anonymised), and support each other 24-7-365, helping reduce isolation and burnout while promoting safe practice.
Regular Events, Networking & Peer Learning
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, including:
- CHC-focused webinars and workshops
- Professional development sessions on clinical skills and legal frameworks
- Peer networking events for agency nurses across the UK
- Case discussion forums and Q&A sessions with experienced CHC specialists
Many nurses in our network build lasting friendships and professional relationships that support them throughout their careers, opening doors to new roles, contracts, and specialist opportunities in CHC and complex care.
New members are warmly welcomed into our CHC Agency Nurses Network, with access to our private social media groups, events, and ongoing peer support from like-minded professionals.

Focus Areas: CHC Pathways, Transitions of Care & CQC Readiness
Our training and consultancy support cover critical areas that impact patient safety, regulatory compliance, and service quality, including:
Safe Transitions in Community & Continuing Healthcare
Transitions between hospital, community, and care settings are high-risk moments for patients.
We train nurses and care providers in best practice for discharge planning, handovers, communication, and person-centred care planning to minimise risk, avoid gaps in care, and promote continuity for CHC and complex care patients.
Preparing for CQC Inspections & Ongoing Compliance
For agencies and community care providers, we offer workshops and advisory support to prepare for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections.
We review existing practices, policies, and documentation, highlight areas for improvement, and provide practical strategies to meet and exceed CQC standards for safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well-led services.
Expertise in Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs Care Planning
CHC Nurses Agency Network has specialist expertise in supporting individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs within CHC and community care pathways.
We promote person-centred, dignified, and safe care that respects each individual’s preferences and aspirations.
We support nurses and providers to:
- Develop personalised care and support plans for individuals with LD
- Apply evidence-based approaches to communication, behaviour, and risk
- Promote independence, choice, and quality of life

Our training equips nurses to deliver respectful, consistent, and effective care to this vulnerable group, aligned with national guidance and best practice.
