CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Nurse Community
Dedicated support for CHC agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare providers who want to deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care. We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and case management support with a thriving professional network of over 500 experienced agency nurses.
Our mission is to make the lives of CHC nurses easier, more connected and better supported. We help nurses and organisations navigate complex CHC processes, prepare for inspections, improve care quality and stay up to date with best practice – while also providing a welcoming community where nurses can relax, share experiences and grow their careers.
With input from highly experienced CHC nurses, case managers and industry professionals, our services are designed around the realities of modern healthcare, agency work and community-based CHC delivery. Whether you are an individual nurse or a provider organisation, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to support you.
What is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional community and a specialist consultancy and training service for nurses and providers involved in Continuing Healthcare. Our network offers:
- A private, confidential peer-support community of CHC agency nurses.
- Access to specialist CHC training and education tailored to real-world practice.
- Consultancy and case management support for complex CHC cases and transitions.
- Regular events, workshops and virtual meetups focused on CHC, CQC compliance and best practice.
- A safe space to discuss professional issues 24/7/365 via invite-only social media groups.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the daily pressure, responsibility and emotional impact of nursing – especially in complex CHC and community settings. Our network is a place to connect with colleagues who “get it”, share expertise and build friendships that often last for years.
Core services and areas of expertise
Care transitions within Continuing Healthcare
Supporting safe transitions between hospital, home and community care
Transitions of care are some of the most high-risk points in a patient’s CHC journey. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides expert nursing support for transitions between hospital, home, residential settings and community-based packages.
Working alongside multidisciplinary teams and commissioners, we help to develop individualised transition plans that prioritise safety, communication and person-centred care. Our goal is to reduce avoidable admissions, minimise disruption and ensure continuity of care for people with complex needs under CHC funding.
Pre-CQC assessment support for CHC providers
Preparing CHC services and community packages for inspection success
For providers delivering CHC-funded packages and complex care, CQC compliance is critical. Our network offers pre-CQC assessment support to help you understand how your services align with CQC’s key lines of enquiry and current regulatory expectations.
We review documentation, care planning, risk assessments, CHC processes and governance arrangements, then provide clear, actionable feedback to strengthen quality and compliance. Our aim is to help you build robust systems that support both excellent care delivery and positive inspection outcomes.
Person-centred CHC care for people with complex and learning disability needs
Developing tailored CHC care and support plans
The CHC Nurses Agency Network has strong expertise in supporting individuals with complex health needs and learning disabilities (LD) under CHC frameworks. We champion person-centred, strengths-based care planning that promotes independence, dignity and choice.
Our members support the development and implementation of holistic care plans that address physical health, mental health, communication needs, behaviour support and meaningful daily living. By blending evidence-based practice with individual preferences, we help people with complex needs to live safer, more fulfilling lives in the community.
Specialist CHC training and education for nurses
CHC & community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) application process training
Giving nurses the confidence to navigate complex CHC pathways
Our CHC and community DoL training is designed for agency nurses, case managers and providers who need a clear, practical understanding of eligibility, assessment, care planning and legal safeguards. Training is grounded in real cases and delivered by experienced CHC professionals.
We cover the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, key assessment tools, documentation standards, MDT working and the interface with mental capacity and DoL authorisation processes. Whether you are new to CHC or need an update, our training supports your continuous professional development and improves patient outcomes.
CHC events, workshops and networking
Stay up to date with CHC best practice and build your network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in a range of CHC-focused events, including online workshops, webinars, study days and informal meetups. These sessions explore current policy, case law, assessment practice, documentation, safeguarding and risk management within CHC.
Events also provide valuable opportunities to network with fellow agency nurses, case managers and CHC professionals. Many of our members build long-lasting friendships and mentoring relationships through the network, helping them to feel less isolated and more supported in their roles.
Comprehensive CHC case management and consultancy
Person-centred case management for complex CHC packages
Optimising CHC care through expert clinical coordination
Our network offers access to specialist CHC case management for individuals with complex and long-term health needs. Working collaboratively with families, commissioners and provider teams, we support the design, mobilisation and review of safe, person-centred CHC care packages.
We help to coordinate multidisciplinary input, resource allocation and risk management, ensuring that care remains clinically appropriate, legally compliant and aligned with the person’s goals. Our focus is always on quality of life, safety and sustainable community living.
A supportive professional community for CHC agency nurses
Private social media groups and 24/7 peer support
A safe space where CHC nurses can talk openly
Beyond training and consultancy, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place where CHC nurses can simply be themselves. We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch, share advice and support one another every day of the year.
Members use these groups to discuss professional issues, clinical challenges, work–life balance, agency work, rates, contracts and wellbeing in a safe, moderated space. Many nurses join for the professional benefits and stay because of the friendships they build.
Regular in-person and online events
Building lasting connections and reducing isolation
We understand how isolating agency and community work can feel. That’s why we run regular events to bring our community together – from informal meetups and peer-support sessions to structured professional development workshops.
These events are designed to be welcoming, relaxed and practical, allowing nurses to share experiences, decompress and develop professionally at the same time. Many members stay connected for years, becoming long-term friends and trusted colleagues.
