CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Consultancy, Training and Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK.
Combining real-world nursing experience with expert CHC knowledge, we help nurses, agencies and healthcare organisations deliver safe, person‑centred care while staying compliant with current NHS CHC, legal and regulatory standards.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibilities and daily challenges that come with CHC nursing.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, relaxed and supportive space where CHC professionals can connect, share experiences, seek advice and grow their careers with confidence.
A Relaxed but Professional Community for CHC Nurses
Our network is a place to unwind, ask questions and talk openly about professional issues with peers who understand the realities of working in Continuing Healthcare.
Many CHC nurses in our community build lasting friendships, regularly keep in touch and support each other through the ups and downs of agency life.
Private, Confidential and Invite‑Only Social Media Groups
We maintain multiple confidential, invite‑only social media groups for around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, operating 24‑7‑365.
Members can safely discuss cases (anonymised), policies, contracts, clinical challenges and career opportunities, knowing they are among trusted colleagues.
Regular Events, Meet‑Ups and Peer Learning
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together.
These include informal meet‑ups, peer‑learning sessions, expert‑led webinars and CHC‑focused workshops, helping members stay updated, connected and supported.
CHC Consultancy and Training for Healthcare Organisations
Alongside our community work, we provide specialist consultancy and training services for care providers, agencies and healthcare organisations delivering CHC-funded care.
Our experienced CHC nurses and trainers help teams improve standards, streamline processes and confidently manage complex CHC pathways, assessments and funding decisions.
Comprehensive CHC Support for Providers, Agencies and Case Managers
From pre‑CQC preparation and CHC process training to bespoke care planning and case management guidance, we help organisations embed robust, person‑centred and compliant CHC practice.
Every service is tailored to your setting, workforce and client group to achieve better outcomes, safer care and stronger compliance.
Transitions: Supporting Safe and Seamless Patient Journeys
Transitions between hospital, home, supported living or care homes can be high‑risk, particularly for people with complex needs and CHC funding.
We offer expert advice and training on transition planning, ensuring continuity of care, clear communication, accurate documentation and safe handovers across care settings.
Pre‑CQC and Quality Assurance Support
We help organisations prepare thoroughly for CQC inspections by reviewing policies, clinical records, care plans, CHC processes and governance structures.
Our team identifies strengths, gaps and compliance risks, then provides clear, actionable recommendations to improve quality, safety and regulatory alignment.
Person‑Centred Care Plans for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Providing safe, dignified care for people with learning disabilities (LD) and complex health conditions requires highly personalised support planning.
We work collaboratively with providers, families and MDTs to develop individualised care and support plans that promote independence, safeguard rights and meet CHC, legal and best‑practice standards.
Specialist Training in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DoLS
Our CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers targeted training programmes on Continuing Healthcare and related legal frameworks for nurses, case managers, social care staff and provider organisations.
Courses are led by experienced CHC clinicians who translate complex guidance into clear, practical steps you can apply immediately in your role.
Core CHC Training: Eligibility, Assessment and Funding
We provide in‑depth training on the NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility criteria, the Decision Support Tool (DST), multidisciplinary team working, fast‑track pathways and appeals.
Participants learn how to present clinical evidence clearly, advocate effectively, and support individuals and families through the CHC process.
Community DoLS and Legal Safeguards
Our training also covers community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS/DoLS‑equivalent) applications, mental capacity assessments and best‑interest decision‑making in community settings.
We focus on practical application, documentation requirements and how to safeguard the rights, choices and wellbeing of people receiving CHC‑funded care.

Expert CHC Case Management Support
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants also provide case management support to help organisations deliver safe, coordinated and person‑centred care for individuals with complex, CHC‑funded needs.
We focus on robust assessment, clear communication, proactive risk management and ongoing review to maintain quality and safety over time.
