CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy and Support for Agency Nurses
Expert Continuing Healthcare support, training and community for UK agency nurses and healthcare organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy services and a thriving professional nurses’ network to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care while building a rewarding nursing career.
Our mission is to empower nurses with the knowledge, resources and peer support they need to manage complex CHC cases, navigate funding and assessments and achieve high standards of care and regulatory compliance.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a professional hub and safe space for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and community settings.
We connect over 500 CHC agency nurses through confidential, invite-only online groups, regular events, workshops and networking opportunities, making it easier to share best practice, discuss complex cases and access real-world peer support.
Because only another nurse truly understands the pressures and responsibilities of the job, our network provides a place to relax, reflect and learn alongside colleagues who face the same daily challenges.
Core Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Providers
Transitions in Healthcare and Community Care
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and community settings are often high-risk and complex, especially for people eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Our experienced CHC nurses provide specialist guidance on planning and managing transitions, ensuring continuity of care, accurate documentation, robust risk management and clear communication between all parties.
We support agency nurses, care providers and families to create person-centred transition plans that promote safety, dignity and independence while remaining fully compliant with NHS and regulatory requirements.
Pre-CQC Readiness and Quality Improvement Support
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection is crucial for care homes, community providers and nursing agencies using CHC-funded services.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC readiness support, reviewing care plans, documentation, policies, risk assessments and care delivery aligned to current CQC expectations and CHC frameworks.
We identify strengths, highlight areas for improvement and provide clear, actionable recommendations to help raise standards, improve patient safety and demonstrate consistent, high-quality care.
Person-Centred Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many CHC-funded individuals have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism or complex physical and mental health needs that require skilled, sensitive and highly personalised care.
Our network supports nurses and providers to develop tailored support plans focused on independence, meaningful activity, communication and risk reduction, grounded in current best practice and legislation.
We champion person-centred, rights-based care that protects dignity, choice and safety, while ensuring robust clinical oversight and compliance with CHC and safeguarding frameworks.
Specialist CHC and Community DoLS Training
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers specialist CHC training courses designed for agency nurses, case managers and care providers who work with CHC-funded individuals.
Our training covers key areas such as CHC eligibility criteria, MDT assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, care planning, appeals and funding processes, all delivered in practical, real-world language.
Courses are led by experienced CHC nurses and consultants who understand the realities of front-line practice and equip you with the skills to manage complex CHC cases confidently and competently.
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) and Legal Compliance
We also provide training on community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and broader legal frameworks relevant to CHC, including the Mental Capacity Act and best interests decision-making.
By strengthening nurses’ understanding of these frameworks, our courses support safe, lawful and ethically sound practice, reducing risk to organisations and improving outcomes for people with complex needs.
Improving Compliance and Patient Outcomes
High-quality CHC and DoLS training does more than tick a box – it leads to better documentation, safer decisions and improved patient outcomes.
Our programmes focus on giving nurses practical tools they can use immediately in practice, helping organisations remain compliant with NHS CHC processes, CQC expectations and local commissioning requirements.
Events, Workshops and Professional Networking
Regular CHC Events to Stay Up to Date
We run regular events, seminars and online sessions to keep agency nurses and healthcare professionals up to date with CHC policy changes, best practice guidance and case law developments.
These events offer opportunities to deepen your knowledge, ask questions about real cases and understand how national guidance translates into everyday practice in care homes and community settings.
Building Strong Professional Networks
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is built around connection and collaboration; our members regularly keep in touch, support one another and share expertise.
Many nurses in the network become long-term friends and colleagues, creating a trusted professional circle where clinical dilemmas, career choices and workplace challenges can be discussed openly and confidentially.
We welcome new members into our private social media groups and invite-only events, where CHC agency nurses share professional issues 24-7-365 and benefit from a genuine sense of community.
Expert Case Management Support in Continuing Healthcare
Guidance for Complex CHC Case Management
Complex CHC cases demand skilled coordination between families, commissioners, providers and multi-disciplinary teams.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers expert guidance and consultancy to help nurses and organisations manage these cases safely, from initial assessment and eligibility through to ongoing review, risk management and escalation.
Our approach focuses on person-centred care, robust documentation and efficient resource use, ensuring people with complex health needs receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
Supporting Healthcare Teams Delivering CHC-Funded Care
We support whole teams – not just individuals – by providing team-based training, supervision-style sessions and consultancy on CHC case management.
By improving shared understanding across clinical, managerial and frontline staff, we help organisations deliver consistent, compassionate and compliant CHC-funded care in line with national frameworks and local commissioning arrangements.
A Supportive Community for Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Share the Realities of Nursing
Nursing is demanding, emotionally intense work, and agency nurses often face additional pressure as they move between different services and teams.
Our network recognises that only another nurse truly understands the daily stresses and responsibilities, so we provide a space where you can talk openly, ask for advice and be understood without judgement.
This combination of peer support, professional development and informal connection helps agency nurses feel less isolated and more confident in their roles.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you build a stronger, more sustainable career in CHC by connecting you with learning opportunities, mentors, experienced peers and potential collaborators.
Whether you are new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced CHC nurse, our community gives you the tools, insight and network needed to progress your career and expand your expertise.
