CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Supporting CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Training, Guidance and Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses who want to enhance their skills, grow their careers and connect with like‑minded professionals.
Created and led by experienced nurses, the network combines practical CHC training, consultancy support and a trusted professional community, ensuring agency nurses can deliver safe, confident and compliant care in every setting.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, complexity and emotional demands of nursing, especially in CHC. Our network offers a place to relax, share, learn and get practical advice from peers who genuinely “get it”.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who work across community, home care, hospitals and specialist services.
We bring CHC nurses together through invite‑only social media groups, online forums and regular events, making it easier to build your professional network, access support and stay up to date with national CHC and regulatory changes.
Many nurses in our network not only share professional issues 24‑7‑365, but also build friendships that last for years. We welcome new CHC agency nurses to join our private groups, get involved in discussions and attend our tailored events.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
We provide specialist training programmes for CHC agency nurses designed to strengthen clinical practice, improve CHC assessment knowledge and support regulatory compliance across all care settings.
Whether you are new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced CHC nurse, our courses focus on real‑world scenarios, current NHS CHC frameworks and best practice in complex care.
Key Areas of CHC Training
- Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility & Assessments: Understand the National Framework, checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST), MDT processes and how to support robust, person‑centred CHC applications.
- Care Planning for Complex Needs: Learn to create safe, outcome‑focused and person‑centred care plans that promote dignity, independence and quality of life.
- Transitions of Care in CHC: Safely manage moves between hospital, community, residential and home‑based care while maintaining continuity and minimising risk.
- CQC Readiness & Compliance for Agency Nurses: Understand your role in meeting CQC expectations around documentation, safeguarding, consent, capacity and quality assurance.
- Supporting People with Learning Disabilities & Autism: Deliver specialist, person‑centred support in CHC and community settings, with a focus on communication, safety and rights.
All training is delivered by clinically experienced CHC practitioners who understand agency nursing from the inside and focus on practical, actionable skills you can use immediately in practice.
Consultancy & Advisory Support for CHC Nurses and Providers
Alongside training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy and advisory services to agency nurses, care providers and commissioning organisations who work within the CHC pathway.
We help you review current practice, understand regulatory expectations and implement improvements that protect patients and support professional accountability.
Pre‑CQC Support for Agency Nurses & Services
Our team provides pre‑CQC review and guidance for agency nurses and services delivering CHC‑funded care.
We review policies, documentation, risk management, care planning and clinical governance processes, offering clear, practical recommendations so nurses and providers can approach CQC inspections with confidence.
Specialist Support in Learning Disabilities & Community CHC
We offer targeted consultancy for CHC nurses working with individuals with Learning Disabilities, autism and complex community care needs.
Our guidance focuses on person‑centred care plans, positive risk‑taking, least restrictive practice, and aligning your practice with current national guidelines and legal frameworks such as the Mental Capacity Act.
Events, Workshops & Knowledge‑Sharing for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to support continuous professional development and peer learning.
Our events provide space to relax, reflect and connect while staying informed about the latest changes in Continuing Healthcare, CQC expectations and national policy.
Networking and Learning Opportunities
- CHC Workshops: Deep‑dive sessions on CHC assessment processes, funding decisions and practical documentation tips.
- Regulatory & Compliance Seminars: Updates on CQC themes, safeguarding, capacity and consent, and how these affect agency nurses in CHC.
- Peer Support & Networking Events: Informal meet‑ups and online sessions where nurses can debrief, share experiences and build strong professional networks.

Most of our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stay in touch regularly through our confidential invite‑only social media groups, where we share professional issues, questions and resources all year round.
Case Management Support for Complex CHC Patients
For nurses and organisations supporting individuals with complex CHC‑funded needs, we offer expert case management guidance and support.
Our approach focuses on co‑ordinated, person‑centred care that brings together patients, families, MDTs, agencies and commissioners to achieve safe, consistent outcomes.
Supporting CHC Nursing Teams in Practice
We help CHC nurses to develop, implement and review holistic care plans, strengthen communication between providers and ensure that legal and regulatory responsibilities are clearly understood and met.
This collaborative way of working enhances the quality of life for individuals with complex needs and reinforces best practice across every part of the care pathway.
