CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Training, Guidance & Peer Support
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, offering specialist training, consultancy and an active peer community to support your clinical practice, compliance and career development.
We understand the realities of agency nursing—long shifts, complex cases and constant regulatory change—which is why we combine CHC-focused education, practical support and 24/7 networking to help you deliver safer, smarter, and more confident patient care.
What Is CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Agency Nurses Network is a growing community of around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals who share knowledge, opportunities, and real-world solutions to everyday challenges in Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Our private, invite-only social media groups and regular events give agency nurses a safe space to connect, debrief and collaborate with others who genuinely understand the pressures, responsibilities and rewards of CHC nursing.
Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
We deliver tailored CHC training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses working in NHS and independent sector settings, ensuring you stay current with best practice, legislation and documentation standards.
Our courses cover key areas such as Continuing Healthcare eligibility assessments, CHC checklists, decision support tools (DSTs), care planning, and CQC and local commissioning expectations.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and nurse educators, using interactive, case-based sessions that focus on practical application, real scenarios and transferable skills you can use immediately in practice.
Expert CHC Consultancy for Providers & Agencies
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist consultancy for care providers, nurse agencies and multidisciplinary teams seeking to improve their CHC pathways, documentation and compliance.
We offer gap analyses, process reviews and advisory support around CHC referrals, assessments, appeals, documentation standards and collaborative working with ICBs and local authorities.
Our recommendations are practical, compliant and person-centred, helping organisations to strengthen governance, reduce risk, and enhance the quality and continuity of CHC-funded care.
Specialist Support with Transitions & Complex Care Planning
Transitions of care—especially for CHC-funded individuals—are critical moments that demand robust planning, clear communication and confident clinical leadership.
We support nurses and providers with hospital-to-home transitions, moves between care settings, and step-up/step-down care, ensuring safe, coordinated and person-centred journeys.
Our network also has strong expertise in individualised care and support planning for people with learning disabilities (LD), autism and complex long-term conditions, with a focus on promoting independence, dignity and quality of life.
Supporting Compliance, CHC Processes & Quality Assurance
Pre-CQC & Quality Readiness Support
For agencies and providers, we offer pre-CQC style reviews and quality assurance support to help you understand where your CHC-related documentation, governance and clinical practice can be strengthened.
Our assessments look at policies, care records, risk management and staff competency, providing clear, actionable feedback that aligns with CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and best practice in CHC case management.
Training on CHC & Community DoLS Processes
Navigating the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications can be challenging for agency nurses working across multiple settings.
Our focused training modules help nurses and teams understand eligibility criteria, assessment tools, documentation standards and legal frameworks relevant to CHC and Community DoLS.
By building confidence in these areas, we help reduce assessment errors, improve the quality of applications, and support better outcomes and lawful practice for the people you care for.
The CHC Agency Nurses Network Community
A Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the intensity, responsibility and emotional load of the job—especially in CHC and complex care.
The CHC Agency Nurses Network provides a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space for agency nurses to discuss clinical challenges, share experiences, and access peer support at any time of day or night.
Our private social media groups are invite-only, allowing members to raise professional issues, ask questions and seek advice around CHC practice, documentation, shifts and career decisions whenever they need to.
Regular CHC-Focused Events & Networking
We run regular online and in-person events, including CHC-focused workshops, webinars, Q&A sessions and informal meetups, to keep our network connected and up to date.
These events give agency nurses the opportunity to learn directly from CHC experts, share best practice, explore real case studies and expand their professional network within the CHC field.
Many nurses in our network build long-term friendships and mentorships that continue to support them through job changes, new roles and evolving career goals.
24/7 Professional Discussion & Peer Support
Through our confidential invite-only social media groups, around 500 CHC agency nurses share professional issues, clinical insights, job opportunities and support—24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
This always-on professional conversation means you are never alone with a practice question, documentation dilemma or ethical concern; someone in the network is almost always available to respond and share their experience.
Case Management & Person-Centred CHC Practice
Case Management Excellence in CHC
Effective case management is central to safe, person-centred care in Continuing Healthcare, particularly for people with complex physical, neurological or behavioural needs.
Within the network, experienced CHC case managers and senior nurses share tools, templates and strategies for coordinating multidisciplinary input, managing risks and advocating for robust CHC packages.
This collaborative approach supports nurses to deliver coherent, well-documented and defensible care that aligns with both clinical need and statutory requirements.
Person-Centred, Rights-Based Care
Our ethos is firmly rooted in person-centred, rights-based care, ensuring that every CHC-funded or complex care package reflects the individual’s values, preferences and desired outcomes.
We encourage nurses to champion dignity, independence, choice and inclusion, particularly for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, cognitive impairment or long-term mental health conditions.
By combining rigorous clinical practice with genuine human compassion, we aim to improve quality of life as well as clinical outcomes.
