CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Professional Support
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Training, Community & Consultancy
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based nursing community and consultancy focused on Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) applications, and person-centred care.
We support agency nurses, case managers and healthcare providers with practical training, peer support, and guidance to improve outcomes for patients and ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
We bring together a core network of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share knowledge, experience and best practice through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular events.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, our network is designed to make your professional life easier, safer and more rewarding.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a nursing consultancy – it is a supportive professional community built by nurses, for nurses.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of agency nursing and CHC work.
Our private, moderated social media groups and in-person events provide a safe space to relax, debrief and seek advice 24/7/365.
Many members form long-term professional relationships and friendships, helping each other navigate complex CHC cases, CQC expectations and day-to-day agency work challenges.
Core Services & Support from CHC Nurses Agency Network
Specialist CHC & Community DOL Training
We provide targeted Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community DOL application training for agency nurses and healthcare teams.
Our courses cover eligibility criteria, assessment tools, funding processes, documentation standards and best practice in person-centred CHC care.
Training is practical, scenario-based and designed to build confidence, competence and compliance.
CHC Consultancy & Case Review Support
Our experienced CHC nurses offer consultancy for complex CHC cases, including case preparation, evidence gathering, and documentation review.
We help organisations and individual nurses to interpret the National Framework, prepare for MDTs and appeals, and ensure that assessments and care plans are robust, defensible and person-centred.
Guidance on CQC-Related Quality & Compliance
While we are not a regulated provider, we support agencies and nurses with best-practice guidance aligned to CQC expectations in community and CHC settings.
We review policies, care planning approaches and documentation, and offer practical recommendations to strengthen quality, safety and governance.
Support with Transitional & Community-Based Care
Transitions between hospital, home and care settings can be high risk and stressful for both patients and staff.
Our network shares expertise on safe discharge planning, continuity of care, CHC-funded community packages and risk management, helping nurses and providers deliver smooth, person-centred transitions.
Person-Centred Care for People with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC and community packages involve people with Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex needs.
We support nurses with bespoke care planning, positive risk-taking, communication strategies and safeguarding considerations, always prioritising dignity, independence and quality of life.
Professional Networking & Peer Support Community
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our confidential, invite-only online community.
Over 500 CHC agency nurses share real-time advice, resources, job insights and professional issues through private social media groups, making it easier to solve problems, reduce isolation and grow your career.
Regular CHC-Focused Events, Workshops & Meet-Ups
We run regular online and in-person events, including CHC workshops, Q&A sessions, peer case discussions and informal meet-ups.
These events keep members up to date with CHC policy changes, develop clinical and documentation skills, and create opportunities to build long-lasting professional relationships and friendships.
Mentoring & Career Development for Agency Nurses
The network offers informal mentoring and career guidance from experienced CHC nurses who understand agency work, revalidation and navigating multiple providers.
We help you identify skills gaps, build CHC expertise, strengthen your portfolio and progress your nursing career in a sustainable way.
Resource Sharing & Best-Practice Templates
Members gain access to shared resources such as CHC documentation tips, checklists, reflective practice examples and policy updates.
This collective knowledge saves time, improves the quality of written records and reduces the risk of errors in CHC assessments and care planning.
Supportive Space to Talk Openly About Professional Issues
We recognise the emotional load and stress that come with nursing and CHC work.
Our network provides a non-judgemental, confidential environment where nurses can talk openly about workload, burnout, ethical dilemmas and professional dilemmas, and receive understanding and peer support.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
