CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Community & Consultancy for Agency Nurses
A Dedicated UK Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Professional Development & Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and complex care across the UK.
We bring together experienced CHC professionals, provide expert training, events, consultancy and peer support, and help nurses build successful, sustainable careers in this highly specialist area of practice.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of nursing.
Our network is built by nurses, for nurses – a trusted space to share knowledge, solve problems, discuss CHC issues and support each other 24/7/365.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share information, learning, opportunities and real-world support.
Members connect via confidential, invite-only social media groups, online events and in-person meetups to discuss CHC cases, best practice and working life as an agency nurse.
Many nurses in our network form long-term friendships, support each other through challenging cases and celebrate professional milestones together.
We welcome new and experienced agency nurses into our community and provide a safe, professional environment to ask questions, grow your confidence and stay up to date with CHC practice.
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development for Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Courses to Build Confidence & Expertise
We offer targeted CHC training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses who work in, or wish to move into, Continuing Healthcare roles.
Our courses cover the full CHC process including assessments, eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, multidisciplinary team (MDT) working and local commissioning processes.
Training is suitable for newly qualified nurses, nurses transitioning into CHC roles and experienced professionals seeking a refresher or update on current guidance.
All content is rooted in national frameworks, NHS guidance and real-world practice, helping you apply learning confidently in clinical and assessment settings.
Community DoLS & Legal Frameworks in CHC
Our training also explores Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) / Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) in CHC settings, capacity assessments and best interest decision-making.
We help agency nurses understand how to recognise potential deprivations of liberty, support lawful care planning and ensure practice remains compliant with current legislation and case law.
Practical Skills for CHC Casework, Documentation & Advocacy
CHC Nurses Agency Network courses focus on the practical skills agency nurses need day-to-day, including documentation, evidence gathering and advocacy.
We show you how to compile robust clinical evidence, contribute effectively to MDTs and support fair, person-centred eligibility decisions for patients and families.
Expert CHC Consultancy & Support for Nurses and Organisations
Guidance for CHC Nurses, Agencies & Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides consultancy and advisory support for individual nurses, nursing agencies and healthcare organisations delivering CHC-funded care.
Our experienced CHC professionals can help with complex cases, quality assurance, clinical governance, documentation reviews and service improvement around Continuing Healthcare.
Pre-CQC & Quality Readiness Support for CHC Services
Although we are a network primarily for nurses, we also support providers delivering CHC packages to prepare for CQC inspections and quality reviews.
Our consultants can review policies, care plans, risk assessments and CHC processes and highlight where improvements are needed to demonstrate safe, effective, well‑led care.
Supporting Safe Care Transitions & Person-Centred Practice
CHC-funded patients often experience complex transitions between hospital, community, home care and specialist placements.
We support nurses and services to implement person-centred, well-coordinated transitions that protect continuity of care, safety and quality of life.
Learning Disability, Complex Needs & CHC Case Management Support
Specialist Support for Learning Disability & Autism within CHC
Many CHC packages cover individuals with Learning Disabilities, autism and complex behavioural needs.
Within our network, nurses share expertise in positive behaviour support, communication strategies and person-centred planning to improve outcomes for this client group.
Case Management, Coordination & Best Practice Sharing
Our members include nurses with extensive experience in CHC case management and case coordination.
Through our private groups and events, we openly share tools, templates, approaches and lessons learned to help agency nurses deliver safe, well‑coordinated care across multiple providers and settings.
Events, Networking & 24/7 Community Support
Regular Events for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events focused on Continuing Healthcare, complex care and agency nursing practice.
