About CHC Nurses Agency Network

Who We Are

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based community and consultancy specialising in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and agency nursing. We combine evidence-based training, practical consultancy and a thriving peer network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular events.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower CHC and agency nurses with the knowledge, skills and support they need to work confidently in complex care environments, deliver safe, person-centred care and maintain high standards of compliance and professional practice.

Our Core Values

  • Quality: Delivering high-standard, practical CHC training and consultancy that reflects current legislation and best practice.
  • Integrity: Acting with transparency, professionalism and respect in everything we do.
  • Collaboration: Building strong, supportive networks between nurses, providers and multidisciplinary teams.

  • Continuous Development: Encouraging lifelong learning, reflection and professional growth for CHC and agency nurses.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

A Professional Community for CHC & Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a professional community and support network for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and agency roles. We understand that only another nurse fully understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of frontline care, especially within CHC and complex community settings.

Our network provides a safe space to relax, connect and share experiences, while also learning from peers and experts. Many nurses in our network go on to form strong professional relationships and friendships that last for years.

Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support

We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connect, ask questions and share professional issues 24/7/365. Topics include CHC assessments, MDTs, documentation, funding decisions, complex care packages and day-to-day challenges in community and agency roles.

Regular Events & Networking Opportunities

We organise regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC and agency nursing community together. These include workshops, webinars, networking events and informal meet-ups designed to:

  • Update nurses on CHC policy changes and best practice.
  • Support professional development and revalidation.
  • Encourage peer learning and case-based discussion.
  • Combat isolation and promote wellbeing among agency nurses.

We welcome new members into the CHC Nurses Agency Network and actively encourage nurses working in CHC, community and agency roles to join our private groups and events.

Transitions in Care & Discharge Planning Support

Ensuring Safe, Seamless CHC Transitions

Transitions such as moving from hospital to home, from social care to CHC funding, or between providers can be high risk and stressful for patients, families and staff. CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and organisations to plan and deliver safe, coordinated transitions by:

  • Advising on discharge to assess pathways and CHC processes.
  • Helping to coordinate complex care packages for patients at home or in care settings.
  • Promoting continuity of care and clear communication between teams.

Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Support

Strengthening Compliance and Quality of Care

  • Reviewing policies, procedures and care records from a clinical and CHC perspective.
  • Identifying gaps in training, documentation and care delivery.
  • Advising on best practice in person-centred care, safeguarding and governance.
  • Recommending targeted training and development for nursing teams.

  • Advising on complex eligibility assessments and DSTs.
  • Supporting appeal processes and reviews.
  • Helping to design and oversee complex care packages in community settings.
  • Offering one-to-one professional guidance for nurses managing challenging cases.

These events also provide opportunities for networking, peer support and collaborative problem-solving.
