CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Community & Consultancy for Agency Nurses
Specialist Support for Agency Nurses Working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for agency nurses working in or moving into NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), case management and complex community care.
We combine expert CHC training, peer support, networking events and specialist consultancy to help nurses, providers and commissioners deliver safe, compliant and person-centred CHC services across the UK.
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Our network is a place to connect, learn and grow with other CHC-experienced nurses who truly understand the pressures and demands of agency work in complex care.
With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer a confidential environment to share challenges, ask questions and access real-time peer support, 24-7-365.
Supportive CHC Community & Peer Networking
Connect with Nurses Who Understand CHC Agency Work
As every nurse knows, only another nurse genuinely understands the physical, emotional and professional demands of frontline practice, especially in CHC assessments, reviews and case management.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together nurses in similar roles and environments, creating a safe space for shared experience, reflection and encouragement.
Private Social Media Groups & Ongoing Support
Members are invited into our confidential, invite-only social media groups, where CHC nurses exchange professional issues, clinical questions and practical tips in real time.
Many members build lasting friendships and long-term professional relationships that continue across different contracts, agencies and organisations.
Healthcare Training & CPD for CHC Agency Nurses
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Multidisciplinary Teams
We provide specialist Continuing Healthcare training designed specifically for agency nurses, case managers and MDT professionals involved in CHC assessment, review and commissioning.
Our training covers key areas such as CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, appeals, care planning, funding mechanisms and legal frameworks.
Practical, Evidence-Based Learning
All programmes are delivered by experienced CHC nurse practitioners who combine current policy with real-world practice, ensuring learning is immediately applicable to your daily work.
We focus on equipping you with confidence in documentation, decision-making, person-centred care and regulatory compliance in CHC settings.
Healthcare Consultancy & Pre-CQC / Quality Readiness Support
Pre-Inspection and Quality Improvement Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy support to care providers, agencies and CHC teams looking to strengthen quality and governance in complex community care.
We can support pre-CQC-style readiness reviews, policy and procedure development, CHC pathway optimisation and improvement planning for organisations working with CHC-funded clients.
Actionable Recommendations from CHC Specialists
Our nurse consultants provide practical, actionable feedback focused on safe practice, clear documentation, MDT collaboration and patient-centred care planning.
This helps organisations to reduce risk, improve outcomes and demonstrate compliance with relevant standards and best practice guidance for CHC and complex care.
Support with CHC Case Management & Complex Care Pathways
Person-Centred CHC Case Management Guidance
We support nurses and organisations involved in CHC case management, helping them structure holistic assessments, coordinate MDT input and design robust person-centred care plans.
Our network shares tools, templates and peer guidance to support safe, coordinated pathways for people with complex health needs in the community.
Optimising Resources and MDT Collaboration
Through shared experience and consultancy, we help professionals manage multidisciplinary working, resource allocation and documentation in CHC-funded packages.
This collaborative approach supports reduced delays, improved communication and more consistent care delivery across agencies, providers and commissioners.
Specialist CHC & Community DoLS Training
In-Depth CHC & Community DoLS Education
We provide focused training on NHS Continuing Healthcare, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) to strengthen lawful, ethical practice.
Content includes capacity assessments, best interest decision-making, lawful restrictions, documentation and working with local authorities and ICBs.
Enhancing Safety, Rights and Compliance
Our training helps nurses deliver care that is legally robust, rights-based and person-centred, protecting both patients and professionals.
By improving understanding of MCA and DoLS in community CHC settings, we support safer care and reduced risk of challenge or non-compliance.
Events, Webinars & Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC-Focused Events & Meet-Ups
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events bringing together CHC nurses from across the UK.
These include webinars, workshops, case-based discussions and informal meet-ups focused on CHC practice, policy changes and practical problem-solving.
Continuous Professional Development & Shared Learning
Our events provide ongoing CPD opportunities and a chance to stay up to date with national CHC guidance, local ICB processes and emerging best practice.
Nurses benefit from knowledge sharing, peer mentoring and networking, which can support both professional growth and better patient outcomes.
Personalised Support for Nurses in Learning Disability & Complex Needs Settings
Support for LD, Autism and Complex Behavioural Needs
Many CHC-funded clients have learning disabilities, autism or complex behavioural needs, requiring highly skilled and consistent nursing input.
Our network shares experience and guidance on person-centred care planning, communication strategies and positive risk management in these settings.
Promoting Independence, Dignity and Quality of Life
We promote an approach that balances safety, autonomy and dignity, supporting nurses to advocate effectively for individuals with LD and complex needs in CHC pathways.
This helps ensure that care packages are not only clinically appropriate but also meaningful, respectful and empowering for the people receiving them.
