CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Community & Consultancy for Agency Nurses
Supporting CHC Agency Nurses, Healthcare Professionals and Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy service, created to support agency nurses and healthcare organisations working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care.
We combine expert CHC training, peer-to-peer networking, and specialist consultancy to help nurses build confidence, improve care quality, and navigate complex CHC processes with ease.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we provide a confidential, supportive space to share knowledge, solve problems, and develop your career in Continuing Healthcare.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional hub for CHC agency nurses across the UK, designed to make working in Continuing Healthcare more connected, informed, and rewarding.
We know that only another nurse truly understands nursing pressures, and our network offers a place to unwind, seek advice, and gain support from colleagues who understand CHC work first-hand.
Members stay in touch through private, invite-only social media groups, regular events, and ongoing professional collaboration, often forming friendships that last for years.
Comprehensive CHC Training, Events & Healthcare Consultancy
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
We provide targeted CHC training for agency nurses and healthcare professionals who want to improve their understanding of eligibility criteria, assessments, DSTs, reviews, and appeals within Continuing Healthcare.
Our expert-led courses are designed to build clinical confidence, documentation skills, and policy awareness, enabling you to deliver safe, person-centred care that aligns with national CHC guidance and local commissioning requirements.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner looking to update your knowledge, our training supports your ongoing professional development and enhances your value to organisations.
Supporting Safe and Effective Care Transitions
Transitions between care settings are critical moments for patients, families, and nursing teams, especially within CHC-funded care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers guidance and best practice support to agency nurses and providers managing moves between hospital, home, community services, and care homes.
We promote continuity of care, robust communication, and risk reduction, helping to ensure transitions are smooth, safe, and aligned with CHC care plans and commissioning expectations.
Pre-CQC Readiness Support for Organisations
High-quality agency nursing support is essential for maintaining standards and preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections.
Through our network of experienced professionals, we provide informal consultancy and advisory support to organisations on areas such as documentation, person-centred planning, safeguarding, and CHC-compliant care delivery.
We help providers understand expectations around governance, quality, and workforce, supporting inspection readiness and continuous improvement in line with CQC frameworks.
Specialist Support in Learning Disabilities, CHC & Community DoLS
Person-Centred Care & Support for Learning Disabilities
Many members of our network work with individuals who have learning disabilities, autism, and complex needs in CHC and community settings.
We share evidence-based approaches, templates, and peer insights to support nurses in delivering person-centred care and support plans that promote independence, rights, dignity, and safety.
By connecting with others working in similar roles, you gain practical ideas to improve daily living support, communication strategies, risk management, and multidisciplinary working.
CHC and Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) Training
Understanding Continuing Healthcare (CHC) processes and community DoLS is vital for agency nurses working in complex community care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers focused training and peer-led learning on topics such as CHC eligibility, assessments, reviews, care planning, and DoLS applications in community settings.
Our aim is to ensure nurses feel confident in legal frameworks, capacity assessments, best interest decisions, and documentation, supporting safe, lawful, and ethical practice.
Events, Networking & Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular Events, Webinars & Meet-Ups
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together.
These include webinars, workshops, informal meet-ups, and specialist sessions on CHC policy updates, clinical topics, documentation, and best practice in complex care.
Events are designed to be practical, supportive, and interactive, giving you the chance to ask questions, share experiences, and build your professional network.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups available 24/7, 365 days a year.
Members openly share professional issues, clinical queries, job opportunities, and emotional support in a safe, moderated space where nursing perspectives are respected and understood.
Many members develop long-term friendships and mentoring relationships, making agency work in CHC feel less isolating and more collaborative.
