CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community nursing and agency roles across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, professional support, and an active peer network to help nurses deliver safer, more effective care while progressing their careers.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network offers a trusted space to connect, learn and share real-world experience about CHC assessments, complex case management, CQC readiness, community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes, and best practice in person-centred care. With over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in confidential groups, we provide ongoing, 24/7 peer support that reflects the realities of frontline practice.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a thriving professional hub where CHC and agency nurses can relax, connect and grow in a supportive environment. As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional load of our work.
Our network brings together like‑minded professionals through regular online and in‑person events, private social media groups and specialist learning opportunities. Many members form long‑term friendships, build strong referral networks and gain the confidence to navigate complex CHC and community healthcare systems more effectively.
We welcome new CHC and agency nurses to join our invite‑only groups, share professional challenges, ask questions and access expert guidance on CHC processes, clinical documentation and regulatory compliance.
Specialist CHC Training & Consultancy for Nurses and Providers
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoL Application Process Training
We provide targeted Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training to help nurses and healthcare teams accurately understand eligibility criteria, assessment frameworks, decision support tools and funding processes. Our courses are designed to build confidence in navigating NHS CHC regulations and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who translate policy into clear, practical steps that can be used immediately in clinical practice. Participants gain skills in clinical justification, evidence-based documentation, person‑centred care planning and regulatory compliance, supporting both improved patient outcomes and organisational efficiency.
CHC Events, Workshops & Networking for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular CHC‑focused events, including webinars, workshops, teaching sessions and networking meet‑ups for agency nurses and CHC professionals. These events cover emerging policies, best practice in CHC assessments, safeguarding, mental capacity and complex discharge planning.
By attending our events, nurses stay up‑to‑date with the latest NHS CHC guidance, learn from expert speakers and share insights with peers who understand the realities of CHC caseloads and agency work. Our gatherings are also a relaxed space to build friendships and expand your professional network.
Expert CHC Case Management Support
We offer specialist advice and support around CHC case management, helping nurses and organisations deliver safe, coordinated care for people with complex needs. Our community and consultancy can guide you through holistic assessment, multidisciplinary working, risk management and person‑centred care planning.
By sharing best practice and real case examples from across our network, we help professionals streamline communication between families, commissioners, community teams and providers, supporting better continuity of care and improved quality of life for individuals in receipt of CHC funding.
Supporting Providers with Quality, Compliance & Transitions
Pre‑CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement Support
Through our expert community and consultancy partners, the CHC Nurses Agency Network supports providers in preparing for CQC inspections and improving quality in community and CHC services. We help organisations review policies, clinical records, care planning and governance systems from a nurse’s perspective.
Members gain practical tips on strengthening documentation, demonstrating person‑centred care, evidencing mental capacity and DoLS practice, and aligning CHC processes with CQC Key Lines of Enquiry. This peer‑led support helps services feel more confident, organised and inspection‑ready.
Safe Transitions Between Hospital, Home & Community Care
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and community settings are often the highest‑risk points for people with complex CHC needs. Our network shares strategies and tools to support safe, well‑coordinated discharges and transfers, with a focus on dignity, choice and continuity of care.
Experienced CHC and community nurses within our network discuss real-life scenarios and offer peer guidance on discharge planning, communication with families, multi‑agency working and ensuring that CHC eligibility and care packages are properly considered during transitions.
Specialist Support for People with Learning Disabilities
Many of our members work with individuals who have Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex health needs that may require CHC funding. Through shared learning and specialist input, we promote best practice in person‑centred planning, reasonable adjustments, communication and positive risk‑taking.
We emphasise respectful, rights‑based care that supports independence, safety and quality of life, and we discuss how CHC and social care frameworks interact for people with LD, autism and other additional needs in community settings.
