CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Nurses
Empowering CHC Nurses Through Expertise, Community and Support
In today’s complex health and social care system, nurses delivering NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community-based care need specialist knowledge, strong professional networks and ongoing support. CHC Nurses Agency Network exists to connect CHC nurses, agency nurses and healthcare professionals with expert training, consultancy and a thriving peer community.
From navigating CHC assessments and appeals, to supporting safe care transitions, preparing for CQC inspections and planning complex care for vulnerable adults, our network offers guidance, shared experience and practical resources. We focus on evidence‑based practice, regulatory compliance and real‑world peer support, helping you deliver consistent, high‑quality, person‑centred care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and knowledge hub for nurses and health professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, agency nursing and community care settings.
Our private, invite‑only social media groups and events provide a safe space to:
- Connect with over 500 experienced CHC agency nurses across the UK
- Share professional issues, dilemmas and good practice confidentially
- Access peer support 24/7/365 from people who truly understand your role
- Develop your career with CHC‑focused training, updates and resources
- Build lasting friendships and professional networks that support you long term
As any nurse knows, only another nurse really understands the emotional load, clinical responsibility and pressure that comes with the job. Our community is built by nurses, for nurses – a place to learn, offload and grow together.
Comprehensive CHC Training, Events and Consultancy for Nurses
Supporting Safe Care Transitions in CHC
Transitions between hospital, home, nursing homes and supported living can be particularly complex for CHC‑funded patients. CHC Nurses Agency Network provides guidance, shared tools and consultancy to support safe, coordinated and person‑centred transitions of care.
Within our network, members discuss real‑world scenarios and best practice for:
- Coordinating multidisciplinary teams across care settings
- Maintaining continuity of care and robust documentation
- Managing risk, safeguarding and mental capacity issues
- Communicating effectively with families, advocates and providers
Through peer discussion, resources and specialist sessions, we help nurses feel confident leading and supporting transitions that prioritise safety, dignity and quality of life.
Pre‑CQC Assessment and Quality Improvement Support
For services delivering CHC and community care, CQC compliance is critical. The CHC Nurses Agency Network connects you with experienced nurses who understand inspection frameworks, quality standards and real‑world implementation.
Our training and consultancy support you to:
- Understand CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs) relevant to CHC and community care
- Review policies, care plans and documentation for compliance and robustness
- Identify gaps and implement practical quality improvements
- Prepare staff to confidently evidence safe, effective and well‑led care
By engaging with our network, you gain peer insight, feedback and practical ideas that help your organisation stay inspection‑ready and focused on continuous improvement.
Person‑Centred Learning Disability Care & Complex Needs Planning
Many CHC‑funded patients have learning disabilities, autism and/or complex physical and mental health needs. Our network places strong emphasis on person‑centred care, independence and safeguarding for people with learning disabilities and complex needs.
Through our community, training and consultancy we support nurses to:
- Develop personalised care and support plans built around individual goals
- Promote independence, communication and meaningful daily activity
- Apply best‑practice frameworks and current guidance in LD care
- Navigate capacity assessments, best‑interest decisions and DoLS/Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS)
By sharing real‑world experiences and evidence‑based approaches, we help CHC nurses advocate effectively for individuals with learning disabilities and deliver genuinely person‑centred care.
Training in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DoLS Processes
Continuing Healthcare, CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) are central to many nurses’ roles but can be complex and constantly changing. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist training and peer support covering:
- CHC eligibility criteria, national framework and assessment processes
- Preparing, contributing to and challenging CHC decisions
- Community DoLS and forthcoming Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS)
- Care planning, funding pathways and documentation to support robust decisions
Our sessions are led by experienced CHC practitioners and supported by real‑world case discussion within our network, building your knowledge, confidence and consistency in practice.
Regular CHC‑Focused Events, Workshops and Networking
We run regular events – both online and in person – to bring CHC nurses and agency professionals together. These include:
- Webinars on CHC policy updates, national framework changes and case law
- Practical workshops on assessments, documentation and appeals
- Peer networking sessions and informal meet‑ups to share experiences
- Safe‑space forums to debrief, reflect and prevent burnout
Most nurses in our network stay in close contact through our private groups, with many forming friendships that last for years. By joining our events, you access both expert insight and a supportive peer community.
Expert Case Management Insight and Support
Effective case management is at the heart of safe, coordinated CHC and complex community care. Within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, experienced case managers share:
- Approaches to holistic assessment and person‑centred care planning
- Strategies for coordinating multiple agencies and professionals
- Tips for managing conflict, expectations and difficult conversations
- Best practice for legal, regulatory and documentation compliance
Through consultancy, mentoring and peer exchange, we support nurses and case managers to improve outcomes, streamline care pathways and protect the rights and wellbeing of patients and their families.
A Private, Supportive CHC Community – Open to New Members

- Ask clinical or professional questions at any time, 24‑7‑365
- Share anonymised scenarios and seek peer perspectives
