CHC Nurses Agency Network: Elevating Continuing Healthcare Nursing Across the UK
Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training and a Thriving Professional Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based community and consultancy dedicated to supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, healthcare organisations and commissioners with expert guidance, specialist training and collaborative peer support.
We bring together a core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular events, creating a safe, supportive space to share knowledge, solve problems and enhance patient outcomes in CHC and community settings.
From CHC assessments and case management to care transitions, community DoLS applications and regulatory readiness, we help nurses and organisations navigate the complexities of Continuing Healthcare with confidence, clarity and up-to-date best practice.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional hub where CHC nurses can relax, connect and grow their careers while sharing the realities of practice with colleagues who truly understand the pressures of nursing and CHC commissioning.
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, and many members form long-lasting friendships and professional partnerships that continue for years. Our network is active 24/7/365 via private social media groups, enabling members to share professional issues, seek advice and exchange resources in real time.
We welcome new members into our confidential online spaces and events, helping CHC agency nurses access peer support, mentorship and specialist knowledge that can be hard to find in isolated or remote working environments.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
Transitions in Healthcare and Complex Discharge Planning
Safe, timely and well-planned transitions between care settings are critical for people eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare and for those with complex health needs in the community.
Our experienced CHC nurses support hospital-to-home discharges, transitions between care homes, and moves into specialist placements, helping teams develop robust pathways that protect continuity of care, dignity and safety.
We work with providers, commissioners and families to create individualised transition plans, prioritising patient comfort, clear communication, risk management and alignment with CHC eligibility and funding frameworks.
Pre-CQC Support and Quality Assurance in CHC Services
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can be especially demanding in CHC and community-based services, where clinical complexity, documentation and governance must be tightly aligned with regulations.
Through our network of senior CHC nurses and consultants, we offer pre-inspection reviews, mock inspections and policy audits focused on Continuing Healthcare, community nursing and complex care, highlighting gaps and practical improvements.
Our support helps organisations strengthen care planning, risk assessments, records, safeguarding and governance, improving CQC readiness and embedding a culture of continuous quality improvement.
Person-Centred Care and Support Plans for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Many CHC-funded individuals live with learning disabilities, autism and complex physical or mental health needs, requiring highly personalised, multidisciplinary support plans.
Our network includes nurses with specialist expertise in learning disabilities, positive behaviour support and complex community care, who can help teams design and review person-centred care plans that promote independence, safety and quality of life.
We encourage collaborative working with individuals, families and wider care teams, using evidence-based approaches to daily living support, communication, risk management and therapeutic interventions.
Specialist CHC Training, Events and Case Management
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoLS Application Process Training
We provide focused training for nurses and multidisciplinary teams on the CHC National Framework, CHC eligibility, checklist and DST completion, appeals, reviews and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications.
These courses are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and are designed to build confidence in completing assessments, understanding funding routes, documenting clinical rationales and ensuring legal compliance across community and acute settings.
Training can be delivered online, in-person or via blended learning, and can be tailored to NHS teams, independent providers, agency nurses and social care professionals involved in CHC pathways.
CHC Events, Workshops and Professional Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, webinars and workshops covering updates to the CHC National Framework, policy changes, case law, best practice in documentation and real-world case studies.
These events provide opportunities for peer learning, supervision-style discussions and networking with other CHC agency nurses, commissioners, case managers and service leads across the UK.
By participating, nurses stay up to date with regulatory changes, clinical innovations and practical tools that directly improve the quality and consistency of CHC assessments and ongoing care.
Specialist CHC Case Management and Consultancy Support
Through our extended professional network, we can connect organisations with specialist CHC case managers and nurse consultants to support complex packages of care across community, home and residential settings.
Our case management support focuses on holistic assessment, MDT coordination, risk management, funding pathways and person-centred outcomes, helping providers, families and commissioners navigate complex situations more effectively.
We emphasise legal and regulatory compliance while remaining firmly centred on the individual’s needs, preferences and rights, aiming to maximise quality of life, safety and satisfaction for everyone involved.
