CHC Nurses Agency Network – Your Professional Community for CHC Training & Support
Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care.
We provide specialist CHC training, consultancy, events and peer support designed to help agency nurses build confidence, stay compliant with NHS and CQC standards, and navigate the realities of frontline nursing with the backing of a strong professional network.
Only nurses truly understand the pressures, emotional demands and daily challenges of nursing.
Our network offers a safe, supportive space to share experiences, solve problems and develop your CHC career with colleagues who “get it” – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 experienced CHC agency nurses working across hospitals, community settings, care homes and specialist projects.
We connect members through private invite-only social media groups, online forums, regular events and educational sessions, helping them stay informed, supported and professionally connected.
Many of our members form long-term friendships and professional partnerships through the network.
We welcome new CHC and agency nurses into our community to share knowledge, raise standards and improve outcomes for people with complex and continuing healthcare needs.
CHC Training, Events & Professional Development
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
We offer targeted Continuing Healthcare training programmes tailored to the needs of CHC and agency nurses across a range of care settings.
Our sessions cover key areas such as CHC eligibility, NHS Continuing Healthcare funding pathways, care planning, safeguarding and documentation, helping nurses stay up to date with current policies and best practice.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who combine real-world insight with clear, practical guidance, so that you can apply what you learn directly to your day-to-day nursing practice.
CHC Eligibility, DST & Community DoLS Application Training
Our CHC + Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) application training gives nurses an in-depth understanding of checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), eligibility assessments, funding processes and legal frameworks.
By attending these sessions, agency nurses and case managers become more confident in navigating complex CHC pathways and advocating effectively for patients’ rights and entitlements.
Online & In-Person Workshops, Webinars and Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, webinars and workshops focused on the latest developments in CHC policy, NHS frameworks, case law and clinical best practice.
These sessions provide opportunities for interactive learning, case discussions, Q&A and peer networking, enabling nurses to build both knowledge and community at the same time.
From informal meet-ups to structured study days, our events calendar is designed to support your continuous professional development (CPD) and give you direct access to other CHC professionals facing similar challenges.
Professional Support & Peer Networking for CHC Nurses
Confidential CHC Nurse Support Groups
We maintain several confidential, invite-only social media groups where our core community of CHC nurses can openly share professional issues, clinical questions, work-related stress and best practice tips.
These groups operate 24/7/365, so you can access advice and support whenever you need it.
Whether you are dealing with a complex CHC case, safeguarding concern, documentation query or contractual issue as an agency nurse, you will find experienced colleagues ready to help, listen and share their own experiences.
Community, Friendship and Professional Contacts
Beyond formal training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax and connect with people who understand the realities of nursing.
Many members stay in touch for years, building lasting friendships as well as valuable professional contacts across multiple organisations, agencies and regions.
By joining our network, you become part of a collaborative CHC community that looks out for each other, shares opportunities and raises the profile and standards of CHC nursing across the UK.
Consultancy, Case Support & Professional Guidance
CHC Case Discussion & Peer-Led Consultancy
Members can access peer-led consultancy and case discussion within the network, drawing on the expertise of highly experienced CHC nurses, nurse assessors, case managers and clinical leads.
This collaborative approach enables safer decision-making around eligibility, risk, capacity, consent, documentation and escalation.
Through shared learning and expert advice, CHC agency nurses can feel more confident when handling complex cases, challenging meetings or difficult conversations with families and multidisciplinary teams.
Support with Compliance, Documentation & Best Practice
We support our members to maintain high standards of clinical documentation, record keeping and professional accountability, aligned with NMC, NHS and CQC expectations.
Within the network, nurses share templates, tools, checklists and examples of good practice to make day-to-day work more efficient and compliant.
This collaborative support helps ensure that agency nurses can deliver safe, person-centred care while protecting their professional registration and meeting contractual obligations.
Supporting Learning Disabilities, Complex Care & Person-Centred Planning
Learning Disability (LD) & Complex Care Support Plans
Many of our CHC nurses work with individuals who have learning disabilities, autism and complex health needs, often funded through CHC packages in the community.
Within the network, nurses share expertise in developing person-centred care plans, behaviour support plans, risk assessments and positive support strategies that promote dignity, independence and safety.
By connecting with colleagues who specialise in LD and complex care, you can strengthen your own practice and improve outcomes for some of the most vulnerable people in the health and social care system.
Case Management, Transitions & Continuity of Care
Our community includes nurses involved in case management and care coordination across settings such as hospitals, care homes, supported living and home-based care.
Members regularly share learning around safe transitions, hospital discharge, step-down care, crisis prevention and multidisciplinary working.
This collective knowledge supports agency nurses to contribute effectively to seamless, person-centred pathways that minimise risk and maintain continuity of care during critical transitions.
