Our Mission: Raising Standards in Continuing Healthcare & Community Nursing
Supporting Nurses, Case Managers & Providers in CHC Settings
Practical Support for Real-World CHC Challenges
Working in Continuing Healthcare and community settings can be demanding, isolating and complex.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, supportive space where nurses can share challenges, ask questions and access expert guidance on CHC processes, care coordination and regulatory expectations.
Our focus is on real-world, practical solutions that help you deliver better outcomes for patients while protecting your professional wellbeing.
A Community Built by Nurses, for Nurses
Only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional load of CHC and community nursing.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses keeps in touch every day through confidential, invite-only social media groups, creating long-term professional connections and friendships.
Members freely share clinical insights, professional issues and peer support 24/7/365, helping each other navigate the demands of modern healthcare.
Pre-CQC Assessments & CHC Compliance Support
Preparing Your Service for CQC Inspection and CHC Scrutiny
Comprehensive Pre-CQC Practice Reviews
We provide specialist pre-CQC assessments for services involved in CHC-funded care, community nursing and complex care packages.
Our experienced nurses review your care practices, documentation, CHC processes, risk assessments and governance to highlight strengths and identify gaps before an inspection.
Actionable Improvement Plans & Ongoing Support
Following the review, you receive clear, prioritised recommendations to help you meet Care Quality Commission (CQC) and NHS CHC expectations.
We can also support you with action planning, staff training and follow-up reviews to ensure improvements are embedded and sustainable.
Person-Centred Care Plans for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Specialist Care Planning for Better Outcomes and Quality of Life
Individualised Care & Support Plans
Our CHC specialist nurses work with individuals, families, MDTs and care providers to develop truly person-centred care plans for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex health needs.
Each plan is designed to promote independence, dignity, communication, safety and meaningful daily living, in line with CHC and best-practice frameworks.
Evidence-Based, Outcome-Focused Approaches
We use current guidelines, national frameworks and best-practice research to shape care plans that are clinically robust and person-led.
Our goal is to ensure that individuals with learning disabilities receive the right level of support while enjoying as much choice, control and quality of life as possible.

Build Confidence in Continuing Healthcare Processes
CHC Training Programmes
We deliver tailored CHC training courses covering eligibility criteria, assessments, checklists, Decision Support Tools (DST), appeals and funding pathways.

Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) & Legal Process Training
We also provide training on community DOL processes, legal frameworks, best interest decisions and documentation for community and CHC settings.
This ensures your team understands lawful restriction, consent, capacity assessments and safeguarding responsibilities, reducing risk and improving compliance.
