CHC Nurses Agency Network – Expert CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses

Empowering CHC & Agency Nurses with Specialist Training, Support and a Strong Professional Network

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a trusted UK-wide community and consultancy dedicated to supporting nurses who work in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community settings and agency roles. We provide high-quality training, expert consultancy and a safe, supportive network where nurses can share experiences, build knowledge and develop their careers.

Agency nurses and CHC practitioners face unique pressures, from complex assessments and fast-paced environments to changing placements and regulatory demands. Our mission is to make professional life easier, safer and more rewarding by combining specialist CHC training, practical consultancy and a 24/7 peer community of over 500 experienced CHC agency nurses.

A Dedicated Professional Network for CHC & Agency Nurses

At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is our strong, confidential community of nursing professionals. We understand that only another nurse truly understands the realities, pressures and emotional demands of this work, especially within CHC and agency roles.

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stay connected through invite-only social media groups, private discussion spaces and regular online and in-person events. Many nurses build long-term friendships, gain practical support, and access advice at any time of day or night.

We welcome new members who want to:

Connect with other CHC and agency nurses in a safe, professional space
Discuss real-world CHC assessments, community DOLs and complex cases
Share challenges and solutions without judgement
Build confidence and resilience in agency and CHC roles
Access up-to-date guidance and shared resources from peers

Continuous professional development is essential in CHC and community nursing. Our specialist healthcare training for nurses is designed to improve clinical competence, documentation quality and regulatory compliance for agency nurses working in CHC and related settings.

Consultancy Services for CHC Providers & Healthcare Organisations

Alongside training and networking support, CHC Nurses Agency Network provides healthcare consultancy services for organisations that deliver or commission CHC and community-based services.

Support with Transitions in CHC and Community Care

Transitions of care – for example between hospital, home, care homes and CHC-funded packages – can be risky and stressful for professionals, patients and families. CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and organisations in planning and managing safer, person-centred care transitions.

We help with:

Inspection & Compliance Readiness for CHC and Community Providers

Whether you are an agency, a CHC provider or a community care service, being prepared for external review and inspection is vital. We support organisations to strengthen governance, documentation and practice standards so that compliance requirements are not just met, but embedded.

Our consultancy includes:

Review of policies, records and clinical documentation
Identification of gaps in practice and targeted improvement plans
Coaching staff in inspection-ready communication and evidence
Recommendations tailored to CHC and community-specific challenges

This support helps providers protect their reputation, improve staff confidence and deliver consistently high-quality CHC and community care.

Many CHC and agency nurses work with individuals who have learning disabilities (LD) and complex health or behavioural needs. CHC Nurses Agency Network promotes a person-centred, rights-based approach to care for people with LD in the community.

Our training and guidance help nurses to:

Develop individualised care and support plans for people with LD
Balance safety, independence and choice in everyday care
Work collaboratively with families, MDTs and advocates
