CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses
A Professional Network, Training Hub and Consultancy for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. Our network is designed to connect nurses, share knowledge, and make the realities of agency nursing in CHC easier to navigate.
Built by nurses for nurses, we understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibilities and emotional load of our profession. Through our private social media groups, regular events and specialist training, we support CHC agency nurses to develop their careers, stay compliant, and deliver excellent person-centred care.
With a core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer a safe, confidential space to discuss clinical issues, share best practice and access expert consultancy around CHC, CQC and complex case management.
What the CHC Nurses Agency Network Offers
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, connect and debrief with colleagues who genuinely understand your day-to-day challenges. Many of our members form lasting friendships and professional connections that continue for years.
We welcome new members to join our invite-only, confidential social media groups, where CHC agency nurses can ask questions, share experiences and troubleshoot clinical or professional issues in a safe environment, 24/7/365.
Regular Events, Meetups and Networking
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together. These include peer support sessions, CHC-focused workshops, case discussion forums and informal social meetups.
Our events are an opportunity to build your professional network, stay updated on CHC developments and share learning in a relaxed, non-judgemental setting. Many nurses find these sessions invaluable for both professional growth and emotional wellbeing.
Confidential Peer-to-Peer Professional Support
Through our private groups and wider network, CHC nurses can access around-the-clock peer support from colleagues working across a range of CHC settings and agencies.
Members openly discuss care planning, complex cases, CHC funding, Community DoLS, documentation and CQC expectations, helping each other to problem-solve and maintain high standards of safe, person-centred care.
Specialist CHC Training and Consultancy Services
CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
We provide specialist CHC training programmes that cover eligibility criteria, assessments, MDT processes, care planning, funding decisions and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications.
Our training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and is suitable for both nurses new to Continuing Healthcare and those seeking a refresher. Sessions focus on practical, real-world scenarios so you can apply learning directly in your agency roles.
Pre-CQC Preparation and Compliance Support
For nurses and providers working in CHC settings, we offer pre-CQC preparation support to help you understand regulatory expectations and evidence good practice.
Our consultancy can review documentation, care records, risk assessments and care plans, offering clear, actionable feedback to strengthen compliance and quality ahead of inspection or audit.
Person-Centred Care for Complex Needs and Learning Disabilities
The network brings together nurses with extensive experience in learning disabilities, complex needs, and person-centred care planning in CHC-funded packages.
Through shared resources and peer discussion, we support nurses to design individualised care plans that promote independence, dignity and safety, ensuring people with learning disabilities and complex conditions receive truly personalised care.
Expert Case Management and CHC Consultancy
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network have access to a pool of experienced case managers and CHC consultants who can advise on complex cases, multi-agency working and funding challenges.
Our case management support focuses on coordinating safe, effective care packages, optimising resources, and keeping the individual at the centre of every decision while meeting regulatory and commissioning requirements.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
Unlike generic nursing forums, our network is specifically focused on CHC agency nursing, with members who understand the unique pressures of bank and agency work, lone working and complex home-care packages.
This focus means that support, advice and training are always relevant to your role and grounded in current CHC practice and policy.
A Personalised, Human Approach
We know that nursing is not just a job – it is emotionally and physically demanding. Our community places emphasis on wellbeing, peer connection and mutual respect, not just policies and paperwork.
By joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain access to like-minded professionals who will listen, support, challenge and encourage you throughout your CHC nursing career.
Continuous Learning and Professional Development
Through structured training, informal case discussions and shared resources, our network helps you to stay current with CHC guidance, legislation and best practice.
Active participation can support your revalidation, portfolio building and CPD requirements, strengthening your profile as a CHC specialist nurse in the agency market.
24/7/365 Access to a Professional Support Network
Healthcare doesn’t stop, and neither does our community. Our confidential, invite-only groups allow CHC nurses to share professional issues at any time of day or night, with colleagues who can respond quickly and constructively.
This level of ongoing support can help reduce isolation, prevent burnout and improve the quality and safety of care delivered to the individuals and families you support.
