CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
A Dedicated UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and support hub for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and community-based packages across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, peer-to-peer support, consultancy and professional networking to help agency nurses deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care while navigating the demands of modern healthcare.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network recognises that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and daily challenges of CHC and agency work.
Through regular events, private social media groups and structured learning opportunities, we make it easier for you to develop professionally, build confidence and feel genuinely supported in your nursing career.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an invite-only community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share knowledge, seek advice and support one another 24/7 via confidential online groups and live events.
It is a safe, non-judgemental space to discuss complex clinical situations, CHC processes, CQC expectations, and the realities of agency nursing.
Members regularly report that they have made lifelong friends in the network, built valuable professional contacts, and gained insight that has helped them progress into more senior CHC, case management and leadership roles.
We welcome new and experienced agency nurses who want to strengthen their practice and grow within the CHC sector.

Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development for Agency Nurses
We provide targeted Continuing Healthcare training designed specifically for agency nurses working in CHC and complex care packages.
Our goal is to equip you with the knowledge, skills and confidence to deliver high-quality care and to engage effectively with CHC processes and multidisciplinary teams.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Nurses
Our CHC training covers the full Continuing Healthcare framework, including eligibility criteria, decision support tools, MDT (multidisciplinary) processes, and care planning.
We break down complex policy and guidance into clear, practical learning suitable for busy agency nurses.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and educators using real-world scenarios, case examples and interactive discussion.
You will learn how to:
- Understand and apply CHC eligibility criteria and national framework.
- Document care effectively to support CHC reviews and assessments.
- Advocate for service users during MDT meetings and panel discussions.
- Work safely and confidently in complex community and domiciliary packages.
- Recognise and escalate safeguarding, risk and quality-of-care concerns.
Best Practice in Complex Care & Case Management
Alongside CHC-specific content, we offer practical training on complex care delivery, person-centred planning and case management principles relevant to agency nurses.
This includes:
- Developing and following person-centred support plans in CHC packages.
- Working effectively with case managers, commissioners and clinicians.
- Managing clinical risk in community and home-based settings.
- Maintaining high standards of documentation and communication.
- Understanding how your role links to CQC and regulatory expectations.
Our focus is always on practical, applicable skills that agency nurses can use immediately in their daily work.
Support for Learning Disabilities, Autism & Transition Care
Many CHC agency nurses work with people who have learning disabilities, autism and complex needs, often during key transitions between services.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides guidance, shared experiences and training to ensure you feel confident supporting these individuals safely and compassionately.
Person-Centred Care & Support Planning
Within the network, we actively share best practice in person-centred care planning for people with learning disabilities and complex needs.
Members discuss and explore how to:
- Promote choice, dignity and independence in community and home settings.
- Contribute to and work from individualised care and support plans.
- Adapt communication styles for non-verbal or neurodivergent individuals.
- Recognise signs of distress, unmet need or deterioration.
- Collaborate with families, advocates and wider MDTs.
By learning from each other’s real-world experience, agency nurses gain confidence in delivering safe, effective and compassionate care.
Supporting Transitions Between Care Settings
Transitions between services – for example, from children’s to adult services, or from hospital to home – can be high-risk times for people with complex needs.
Our network shares practical strategies for:
- Ensuring continuity of care during moves and handovers.
- Contributing to transition plans and risk assessments.
- Communicating effectively with new teams and providers.
- Supporting individuals and families through change and uncertainty.
Through this shared knowledge, CHC agency nurses are better equipped to keep people safe and supported at every stage of their care journey.
Peer Support, Events & Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network places a strong emphasis on bringing nurses together in both online and face-to-face spaces.
We understand that CHC and agency work can sometimes feel isolating, so we actively create opportunities for connection, reflection and learning.
Regular Events, Webinars & Meet-Ups
We run a programme of regular CHC-related events, including:
- Online webinars on CHC frameworks, case studies and policy updates.
- Interactive workshops focused on documentation, safeguarding and complex care.
- In-person meet-ups and networking events where agency nurses can relax and connect.
- Peer discussion sessions on real challenges from frontline practice.
These events help members stay up to date with current CHC guidance, best practice and national developments, while also building professional confidence and friendships.
Confidential 24-7-365 Online Community
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stays connected through invite-only, confidential social media groups.
Here, members:
- Ask questions and share experiences about CHC assessments, reviews and appeals.
- Discuss clinical scenarios, ethical dilemmas and professional issues.
- Offer support, reassurance and encouragement to colleagues.
- Share information on training opportunities, roles and career progression.
The result is a relaxed yet professional environment where you are never alone with a concern or question – there is always another CHC nurse who understands.
