CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care across the UK. We combine expert CHC training and consultancy with a thriving peer network, helping agency nurses build confidence, share knowledge, and deliver outstanding, person-centred care.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional load that comes with delivering high-quality care. Our network offers a safe, professional space to connect, debrief, problem-solve and grow – backed by specialist CHC education and support tailored to real-world practice.

Our Specialist Services for CHC Nurses & Providers
1. Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Support
Safe and well-managed transitions are essential in Continuing Healthcare, whether moving a patient from hospital to home, into community settings, or between providers. CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and organisations to plan and deliver smooth, person-centred transitions that protect safety, dignity and continuity of care.
Our experienced CHC nurses share practical tools, templates and best practice guidance to manage complex discharge pathways, multidisciplinary working and risk, helping you feel more confident at every step of the process.
2. Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement Support
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can feel overwhelming, especially in CHC and community settings. Through our network and expert partners, we help organisations and nurses understand regulatory expectations and identify areas for improvement before inspections take place.
We offer guidance on documentation, care planning, risk assessment, person-centred practice and governance, enabling teams to demonstrate safe, effective and compassionate care that meets CQC standards.
3. Personalised Learning Disability (LD) Care & Support Planning
Many CHC-funded individuals live with Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex needs that require highly personalised support. Our network includes nurses with extensive LD and community experience, who share evidence-based strategies for creating safe, empowering and person-centred care plans.
We promote collaborative working with families, carers and multidisciplinary teams, focusing on independence, communication, positive behaviour support and quality of life for people with LD under CHC funding.
Specialist CHC Training, Workshops & Events
To keep up with evolving NHS CHC frameworks, best practice and legal requirements, we provide targeted education and events built around real challenges faced by CHC agency nurses.
4. CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Our CHC and Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) training is designed specifically for nurses and healthcare professionals involved in commissioning, delivering or coordinating CHC-funded care packages.
Training content typically includes eligibility criteria, the National Framework, Decision Support Tools (DST), funding pathways, documentation, legal considerations, and the community DoLS application process – equipping you to work safely, confidently and compliantly.
5. Engaging CHC-Focused Events & Networking Opportunities
We run regular online and in-person events, including workshops, Q&A sessions, case-based discussions and informal meetups for CHC agency nurses. These events are a chance to refresh your knowledge, share lived experience, explore complex cases and hear from guest speakers with specialist expertise.
Most importantly, they help you build lasting professional relationships with colleagues who truly understand CHC practice and the realities of agency nursing.
6. Expert CHC Case Management Insight & Peer Support
Many nurses in our network are actively involved in CHC case management, coordination of complex packages, and liaison with ICBs, providers and families. Through peer support and shared resources, we help you develop robust, person-centred care plans that manage risk, meet clinical needs and respect individual preferences.
By learning from each other’s experience, you can streamline communication, improve outcomes and ensure CHC-funded care is delivered consistently and safely across settings.
A 24/7 Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Our confidential, invite-only social media groups are active around the clock, offering space to raise clinical queries, discuss CHC processes, share documentation tips or simply offload after a challenging shift. With around 500 CHC agency nurses in our core network, you are never alone in facing a problem.
Over time, many members build deep professional and personal connections – often staying in touch for years, supporting each other through career changes, new roles and evolving CHC landscapes.
