CHC Nurses Agency Network – Expert CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency nursing roles across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, professional networking, and specialist consultancy support to help nurses, healthcare providers and agencies deliver safe, compliant and person‑centred care.
Our private network of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connects you with peers who understand the daily realities, pressures and responsibilities of nursing – and who are committed to sharing knowledge, experience and support.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a safe, confidential space where CHC and agency nurses can connect, learn and grow together.
We run regular online and in‑person events, maintain invite‑only social media groups, and provide access to specialist CHC resources to support your practice, wellbeing and professional development.
Many nurses in our community build strong friendships, find new work opportunities, and gain the confidence to navigate complex CHC and community care cases more effectively.
Specialist CHC Training & Education for Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Courses
Our Continuing Healthcare training is designed specifically for agency nurses, CHC assessors, and community nurses working with complex health needs.
We cover CHC eligibility criteria, checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, funding pathways, and best practice documentation so that you feel confident and compliant in every assessment.
Courses are led by experienced CHC nurses and case managers who understand real‑world NHS and community settings, ensuring our content is practical, up‑to‑date and aligned with current national frameworks.
Community DoLS & Legal Safeguarding Awareness
We provide focused training on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and associated community processes, helping nurses understand legal frameworks, capacity assessments and documentation standards.
This training supports agency nurses and CHC practitioners to protect patient rights, maintain compliance and work confidently with multidisciplinary teams, local authorities and commissioners.
Practical Workshops & Case‑Based Learning
Our workshops use realistic case studies to build your skills in CHC assessment, care planning, risk management and advocacy.
Participants leave with practical tools, templates and strategies that can be applied immediately in clinical practice, care homes, community settings and domiciliary care.
Consultancy & Support for Healthcare Providers and Agencies
Pre‑Inspection & Compliance Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre‑inspection consultancy for care providers, community services and nursing agencies preparing for CQC or commissioning reviews.
Our experienced consultants review policies, clinical records, CHC processes and care plans to identify compliance gaps, risks and opportunities for improvement.
We then provide clear action plans to strengthen governance, documentation and person‑centred care delivery.
CHC Case Management & Complex Care Support
We support organisations, families and nurses with complex CHC case management, including assessments, reviews and appeals.
Our team can help coordinate multidisciplinary input, develop robust care plans, and ensure that funding and eligibility decisions are well‑evidenced and person‑centred.
This service reduces delays, improves outcomes and supports safe, effective care pathways in the community and across care settings.
Transition & Community Care Support
Safe Transitions Between Care Settings
Transitions from hospital to home, between care homes, or into community‑based packages of care can be high‑risk periods for patients and families.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers to plan and deliver safe, well‑coordinated transitions that prioritise continuity, safety and patient choice.
We promote clear communication, robust handovers and comprehensive discharge planning to reduce readmissions and improve patient experience.
Person‑Centred Community Nursing
Our resources and training emphasise person‑centred practice in the community, including risk assessment, consent, capacity and safeguarding considerations.
We help agency nurses deliver evidence‑based care that respects individual preferences while meeting legal, professional and organisational requirements.
Support for People with Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs
Specialist Learning Disability Nursing Support
Many agency and CHC nurses work with individuals who have learning disabilities and additional complex healthcare needs.
We provide guidance and training in LD‑inclusive assessment, reasonable adjustments, communication strategies and behavioural support to enhance quality of life and safety.
Holistic, Person‑Centred Care Planning
Our approach to LD care planning is holistic, integrating clinical needs with personal goals, preferences, cultural considerations and social inclusion.
We promote collaborative working with families, carers and multidisciplinary teams to ensure care remains respectful, empowering and outcome‑focused.
A Strong Community for CHC & Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our set of confidential, invite‑only social media groups where nurses can talk openly 24‑7‑365.
These groups are a safe space to ask clinical questions, discuss CHC and legal issues, share job opportunities, and access peer support from nurses who truly understand your role.
Many members build long‑term friendships and professional collaborations that last for years.
Regular Networking Events & Webinars
We host regular online webinars, in‑person meet‑ups and CHC‑focused events to bring our community together and share the latest updates in Continuing Healthcare and agency nursing.
Events often feature guest speakers, live Q&A sessions and case‑based discussions, giving you direct access to experienced CHC professionals and leaders.
Attendance helps you stay current with policy changes, best practice and emerging trends in CHC and community nursing.
