CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expertise, Support and Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional network and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We combine specialist CHC training, expert healthcare consultancy and a thriving peer network to help nurses deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care in complex community and acute settings.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of nursing. Our network is built by nurses, for nurses – a safe space to learn, connect and grow, while getting the practical support you need to excel in your CHC roles.
What is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invitation-only community of around 500 specialist CHC agency nurses who share knowledge, opportunities and best practice 24-7-365.
We host regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, creating a relaxed environment where nurses can talk openly about work, wellbeing, professional issues and career development. Many colleagues within our network become long-term friends and trusted professional contacts.
New members are warmly welcomed into our private social media groups and events, where we confidentially discuss CHC, clinical practice, case management and regulatory issues, helping you stay informed, supported and connected.
Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Providers
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Teams
We provide tailored CHC training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses, care home staff and community healthcare teams working with NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Our courses focus on real-world CHC practice including assessments, decision support tools, documentation, evidence gathering, appeals and multidisciplinary working, enabling nurses to feel confident in complex CHC environments.
CHC Eligibility, Assessments & Community DOL Applications
Our training explains the CHC eligibility criteria, assessment frameworks and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) application processes in a clear, practical way. We guide nurses through MDT meetings, documentation standards and complex case management, so you can support patients and families effectively and safely.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Compliance Support
We support providers and nursing teams to prepare for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections with informal pre-CQC readiness reviews, focusing on CHC, documentation, risk management and care planning.
Our consultancy helps you identify gaps, strengthen your policies, procedures and evidence, and build confidence ahead of inspections, ensuring your CHC practice is safe, compliant and person-centred.
Learning Disability (LD) Care & CHC Support Plans
We support nurses and providers to develop high-quality Learning Disability (LD) care and support plans that align with CHC principles, legal frameworks and best practice.
Our person-centred approach promotes independence, dignity and safety, ensuring that each plan reflects the individual’s needs, preferences, communication style and risk profile in a way that stands up to professional and regulatory scrutiny.
Consultancy for CHC Providers and Complex Care Services
Alongside our network, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy support to healthcare providers delivering CHC-funded or complex community care.
We help you design and implement robust care pathways, documentation systems, governance processes and CHC-specific policies that reflect national guidance and best practice, improving both patient outcomes and regulatory compliance.
Case Management & Complex CHC Support
We provide advisory case management support for complex CHC cases, working alongside your teams to coordinate care, clarify roles and enhance multidisciplinary communication.
Our focus is always on person-centred, outcome-focused care, ensuring that each individual’s needs, risks and preferences are fully understood, documented and acted upon across the whole clinical pathway.
Smooth and Safe Care Transitions in CHC
Transitions such as moving from hospital to home, home to care home, or between providers are high-risk moments for CHC-funded individuals. We support nurses and organisations to manage these safely and effectively.
Supporting Better Outcomes During Transitions
We guide teams to develop clear transition plans that prioritise clinical safety, continuity of care and robust communication between settings, helping to reduce avoidable readmissions, incidents and complaints.
Our approach aligns with CHC, safeguarding and Mental Capacity Act requirements, helping nurses protect vulnerable individuals during every step of their journey.
Personalised Transition Plans for Individual Needs
Every transition is different, especially for people with complex health needs, learning disabilities or dementia. We support nurses to create individualised transition plans that address specific clinical risks, communication needs, family concerns and environmental changes.
This personalised planning helps patients and families feel reassured, informed and involved, improving both experience and outcomes.
Events, Networking & Continuous Professional Development
Regular CHC Events for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online webinars, informal meet-ups, workshops and networking sessions focused on CHC practice, regulation and professional development.
These events create a relaxed, supportive environment to ask questions, share experiences and learn from peers, while also providing up-to-date insights into CHC policy changes, case law and best practice.
Stay Informed, Connected and Supported
Through our invite-only social media groups and events, nurses can share professional issues and solutions 24-7-365, helping each other with complex clinical scenarios, documentation queries and CHC-related challenges.
This constant connection means you are never working in isolation – you always have access to colleagues who understand exactly what you are dealing with.
Safe Spaces for Discussion, Reflection & Peer Support
We know that CHC and agency work can be stressful and emotionally demanding. Our network provides safe, confidential spaces where nurses can talk honestly about their work, wellbeing and boundaries.
We encourage reflection, shared learning and mutual support, helping nurses sustain long-term careers in complex care without burning out.
