CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nurses, Training & Support


CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nurses, Training & Professional Support

A Dedicated Community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and support hub for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing, and complex community care across the UK.

We bring together experienced CHC and agency nurses to share knowledge, reduce professional isolation, and support each other through the realities and pressures of modern nursing.

Through our private social media groups, regular events, training and consultancy, we help nurses build connections, grow their careers, and deliver safer, more effective care for adults and children with complex needs.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a confidential, invite-only network of around 500+ CHC and agency nursing professionals who support each other 24/7/365.

As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the demands and emotional load of nursing — that’s why our network is built by nurses, for nurses.

Members connect in a safe, supportive environment to:

  • Discuss clinical practice and complex CHC situations
  • Share job opportunities and agency roles
  • Access expert advice on CHC processes and documentation
  • Gain peer support around stress, burnout and work–life balance
  • Attend events, webinars and training tailored to CHC and agency nursing

Many nurses in our community become lifelong friends, staying connected and supporting each other through different stages of their careers.

Core Services for CHC & Agency Nurses

Private CHC Agency Nurses Community

We host confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC nurses and agency nurses can connect, ask questions and share real-world experiences in a safe space.

Our core network is active 24-7-365, so you can reach out to other professionals whenever you need advice or support.

We welcome new members who are genuinely interested in CHC, complex care and agency nursing and who are keen to contribute positively to the community.

CHC Training & Professional Development

The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training and development opportunities for nurses working in community and agency settings.

Our sessions focus on practical, real-world skills, including:

  • Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework
  • Completing CHC assessments, checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs)
  • Documentation, evidence gathering and robust clinical justification
  • Working effectively with ICBs, social care and multidisciplinary teams
  • Advocating for patients and managing appeals and reviews

All training is designed by experienced CHC nurses to help you feel confident with complex processes while maintaining person-centred care.

Healthcare Consultancy for CHC & Community Care

Beyond peer support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network also offers specialist consultancy for providers, case managers and teams involved in CHC and community-based care.

We can support with:

  • Reviewing CHC processes, pathways and documentation
  • Strengthening clinical reasoning and evidence for CHC funding
  • Improving care planning, risk management and governance
  • Preparing services for quality reviews and compliance checks

Our consultancy is grounded in frontline nursing experience, ensuring that recommendations are practical, realistic and aligned with best practice.

Events, Networking & Peer Support

Regular CHC & Agency Nursing Events

We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC and agency nurses together.

These include:

  • Educational webinars and workshops on CHC and complex care
  • Informal networking meet-ups to connect and share experiences
  • Focused discussion groups around current challenges in practice
  • Guest sessions with expert speakers from health and social care

Our events are designed to be supportive, practical and relevant, helping you stay updated while building your professional network.

24/7 Professional Community Support

Working in CHC and agency roles can be isolating, especially when you move between settings or work remotely in the community.

Our online peer support network allows you to:

  • Discuss day-to-day professional issues in a safe, non-judgemental space
  • Share tips, resources and best practice for CHC and complex care
  • Gain reassurance and perspective from colleagues who understand
  • Talk openly about stress, pressure and burnout with people who have been there

This constant support helps many nurses feel less alone, more confident and more in control of their professional practice.

Support for CHC, Case Management & Complex Care

Person-Centred CHC & Case Management Support

Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network often work in case management and complex community care roles, coordinating care for people with long-term, complex conditions.

Within the network, nurses share expertise on:

  • Developing person-centred care plans for CHC-funded individuals
  • Managing multidisciplinary teams and care packages
  • Balancing clinical risk, safety and independence
  • Ensuring compliance with legal and regulatory frameworks including safeguarding

This shared knowledge helps agency and CHC nurses deliver consistent, high-quality, person-centred care in community settings.

Support with CHC, DOLS & Community Processes

We recognise that Continuing Healthcare (CHC), Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and related community processes can be complex and time‑consuming.

Through our community and training sessions, we help nurses to:

  • Understand and apply DoLS and MCA principles in community settings
  • Navigate CHC assessments, reviews and appeals
  • Improve documentation, reporting and communication with statutory bodies
  • Stay up to date with policy changes and best practice in CHC and complex care

This support enables nurses to confidently manage complex situations while keeping patients’ rights, safety and wellbeing at the centre.
