CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Nurse Community
A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Training & Consultancy Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, providing expert training, consultancy, case management support and a thriving professional community.
We are here to help nurses, healthcare providers and organisations navigate the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare, Community DoLS, CQC preparedness and complex care delivery.
Our core mission is to empower nurses with practical knowledge, peer support and strategic guidance, while supporting care providers to improve compliance, patient outcomes and operational efficiency.
Through regular events, private social media groups and tailored services, we make CHC practice clearer, more connected and more sustainable.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional learning platform and a supportive community for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and complex community settings.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we operate via confidential, invite-only social media groups, online forums and in-person/virtual events.
We recognise that only another nurse truly understands the pressures of nursing—the shift work, emotional strain, heavy caseloads and the responsibility that comes with every decision.
Our network is designed as a safe space to relax, debrief, share knowledge and access expert guidance so you can grow your CHC career with confidence.
Core Services – CHC Training, Consultancy & Professional Support
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Teams
We provide specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training aimed at agency nurses, care coordinators, assessors and multidisciplinary teams.
Our courses are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand both NHS frameworks and frontline practice.
Training can be delivered online or in person and is designed to build confidence in:
- Understanding and applying CHC eligibility criteria and national frameworks
- Preparing, documenting and presenting robust CHC assessments
- Effective care planning for complex health needs
- Navigating funding pathways and decision-making processes
- Working collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams (MDTs)
Benefits of Our CHC Training Programmes
- Improved understanding of CHC eligibility, assessments and reviews
- Enhanced care planning and documentation skills
- Increased confidence when dealing with funding applications and appeals

- Stronger clinical leadership within agency and MDT environments
Consultancy for Providers – CHC, Community DoLS & CQC Preparedness
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also offers healthcare consultancy to providers, case managers and care organisations looking to strengthen their CHC pathways, Community DoLS processes and CQC readiness.
Our consultancy team can support you to:
- Audit and improve CHC assessment processes and documentation
- Prepare for CQC inspections with targeted pre-inspection reviews
- Develop or refine policies, procedures and care pathways
- Strengthen your approach to Community DoLS applications and compliance

Pre-CQC Assessment and Quality Improvement Support
We work with organisations to carry out pre-CQC assessments, reviewing your care records, risk management, governance, training and CHC-related practice.
You receive practical, prioritised recommendations to help you demonstrate safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services ahead of inspection.
Expert Case Management Services for Complex CHC Packages
Through our extended professional network, we can connect providers and commissioners with experienced CHC case managers to support complex cases and care transitions.
These professionals coordinate between patients, families, community teams, agencies and commissioners to ensure safe, consistent, person-centred care.
Case management input can help with:
- Developing and reviewing holistic care plans for complex needs
- Supporting hospital discharge and care transitions into the community
- Ensuring regulatory and documentation standards are met
- Improving communication between families and MDTs
- Reducing breakdown of care packages and preventable readmissions
Community & Networking – A Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our private, invite-only online community.
We host several confidential social media groups where over 500 CHC agency nurses share professional issues, questions, resources and support 24/7/365.
Members use the network to:
- Discuss complex CHC cases (respecting confidentiality)
- Share templates, tools and good practice
- Seek peer advice on career moves, agencies and roles
- Access informal emotional support from colleagues who understand
- Stay up to date with policy changes and training opportunities
Regular CHC Events, Workshops & Networking Sessions
We run regular events for our community, including webinars, workshops, Q&A sessions and networking meet-ups focused on Continuing Healthcare and related topics.
These events are ideal for keeping up with national updates, emerging case law, best practice and documentation standards.
Nurses within the network often build long-term friendships and professional connections that support their careers for years to come.
We aim to create an environment where CHC professionals can both relax and learn.
Support for Learning Disabilities, Mental Health & Complex Needs
Specialist Insight for Learning Disabilities (LD) & Autism in CHC
Many of our members work in Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and mental health settings within CHC and complex community care.
Through shared experience and specialist training, we promote best practice in personalised care planning, positive behaviour support and risk management.
We encourage approaches that support:
- Independence and choice for individuals and families
- Dignity and person-centred communication
- Safe management of behaviours that challenge
- Robust safeguarding and capacity assessments
- Collaborative work across health, social care and voluntary sectors
