CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for UK Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers with Expert Training, Consultancy and Peer Support
In the fast-paced world of UK healthcare, particularly within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community services, nurses need more than clinical skills – they need specialist knowledge, guidance and a trusted professional network. CHC Nurses Agency Network brings all of this together, offering CHC-focused training, consultancy and a thriving community for agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
We specialise in supporting nurses, case managers and healthcare providers with CHC assessments, complex care planning, CQC readiness, and safe care transitions, while also providing an online and in-person network where CHC agency nurses can connect, share and grow.
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
Who We Are
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy service founded by experienced CHC nurses for CHC nurses. Our aim is to improve Continuing Healthcare practice, build nurse confidence, and support healthcare organisations to deliver safe, person-centred, compliant care.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals collaborates through invite-only social media groups, events and training programmes, creating a safe space for shared learning and mutual support.
Our Mission and Values
Our mission is to raise standards in Continuing Healthcare by combining expert training, consultancy and a strong peer network. We are driven by values of professionalism, integrity, collaboration and person-centred care, with a clear focus on improving outcomes for adults with complex needs.
What We Do
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Supportive Community That Understands Your Role
Only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional impact of CHC and complex community work. The CHC Nurses Agency Network gives agency nurses a place to connect, debrief and learn with peers who share the same challenges and goals.
We maintain confidential, invite-only social media groups where members talk openly about professional issues, share resources, and offer real-time support 24/7, 365 days a year.
Events, Networking and Peer Learning
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together. Many of our members build long-term friendships and professional relationships that last for years, creating a powerful support network that extends far beyond a single placement or contract.
Care Transitions Support and Consultancy
Expert Guidance for Safe, Seamless Care Transitions
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and community settings can be high-risk for adults with complex needs. We support nurses and organisations to design safe, person-centred transition plans that protect continuity of care and reduce avoidable readmissions.
Our CHC-experienced nurses focus on holistic planning, covering clinical needs, social circumstances, family involvement and risk management at every stage of the transition.
Bespoke Transition Strategies for CHC-Eligible Patients
We help healthcare providers embed robust processes for CHC-funded patients, ensuring that eligibility, care packages and multi-disciplinary input are clearly reflected in transition plans and ongoing care.
Pre-CQC Inspection Assessments and Compliance Support
Preparing for CQC Inspection with Confidence
To help services delivering CHC and complex community care meet Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards, we offer pre-CQC inspection assessments and consultancy. Our team reviews your policies, documentation, staff training, and day-to-day practice against current regulatory expectations.
We identify gaps, highlight strengths and provide actionable improvement plans so you can approach CQC inspections with clarity and confidence.
Improving Quality, Safety and Governance
Our assessments focus on clinical governance, safeguarding, risk management, capacity and consent, DoLS/Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) and the safe delivery of person-centred care. We support teams to embed sustainable quality improvements, not just short-term fixes.
Person-Centred Care for People with Learning Disabilities
Specialist Care and Support Planning
We work with nurses and providers to develop person-centred care plans for individuals with learning disabilities, often with additional complex health needs. Our approach focuses on dignity, independence, communication and quality of life, alongside clinical safety.
We encourage active involvement of individuals, families and multi-disciplinary teams to ensure support plans reflect what matters most to the person, not just their diagnosis.
Evidence-Based, Outcomes-Focused Practice
All guidance and training is grounded in current best practice, NICE guidance and UK legislation. We help teams to embed positive behaviour support, reasonable adjustments and robust risk assessments, enabling people with learning disabilities to live safer, more fulfilling lives.
Specialist CHC Training and Community DoL / LPS Support
Continuing Healthcare Training for Nurses and Providers
Practical CHC Training Courses
Our CHC training programmes cover key topics such as CHC eligibility criteria, the Decision Support Tool (DST), assessment and review processes, evidence gathering, care planning and funding pathways.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and case managers who understand the reality of frontline practice and commissioning decisions.
Boosting Confidence, Compliance and Decision-Making
We help nurses, case managers and service leaders understand national CHC frameworks, local processes and common pitfalls, so they can advocate effectively for patients, avoid delays, and support fair and lawful decision-making.
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS / LPS) Training
Understanding DoLS and Liberty Protection Safeguards in the Community
Our workshops provide clear, practical guidance on the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and the evolving Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) within community and CHC-funded settings.
We focus on recognising deprivation of liberty, understanding legal responsibilities, documenting decisions, and working effectively with local authorities and legal representatives.
Safeguarding Rights While Meeting Clinical Needs
Training helps staff to balance human rights, capacity, consent and risk, so that restrictions are proportionate, legally sound and always in the best interests of the person.
CHC-Focused Events and Professional Development
Stay Current with CHC Policy and Best Practice
Workshops, Webinars and Networking Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts regular workshops, webinars and networking events on topics such as CHC updates, assessment skills, documentation, safeguarding, leadership and wellbeing for agency nurses.
These events are designed to support continuing professional development (CPD) and give nurses access to live Q&A sessions with experienced CHC professionals.

Our CHC-experienced professionals work closely with multi-disciplinary teams, families and providers to ensure care is well planned, well documented and regularly reviewed.
