CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community
A Professional Network Supporting Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and resource hub for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care, and complex needs settings.
We combine expert CHC training, specialist consultancy, and a supportive professional network to help nurses grow their careers, improve patient outcomes, and stay compliant with current standards.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Working as an agency nurse in CHC can be demanding and isolating, which is why our network focuses on connection, support, and shared knowledge.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional load, and complexity of delivering safe, person-centred care in challenging environments—our community brings those nurses together.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
We host confidential, invite-only social media groups where more than 500 CHC agency nursing professionals share advice, clinical queries, professional issues, and everyday experiences.
Our online spaces are active 24-7-365, giving you constant access to peers who understand CHC work, including funding decisions, assessments, safeguarding issues, and complex care scenarios.
Building Lifelong Professional Relationships
Many nurses in our network become long-term colleagues and friends, staying in touch even as roles and placements change.
We encourage collaboration over competition, fostering a safe environment for honest discussion, reflection, and mutual support across the CHC sector.
Specialist Training for CHC and Community Nursing
To thrive in Continuing Healthcare, agency nurses must stay current with evolving NHS CHC frameworks, assessment tools, and legal requirements.
Our CHC-focused training programmes are tailored to agency and community-based roles, helping you build confidence and competence in complex clinical and regulatory areas.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility & Assessment Training
Our CHC training modules cover National Framework guidance, CHC eligibility criteria, MDT processes, Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and the interface between CHC and social care.
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, these courses help you understand funding pathways, contribute effectively to assessments, and advocate for safe, lawful decision-making.
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) & Legal Framework Training
We offer specialist training on community Deprivation of Liberty safeguards (DoLS), Mental Capacity Act principles, and restrictive practices in community and home-care settings.
This training supports nurses to document correctly, assess capacity appropriately, and work in line with current legal and regulatory expectations.
CQC Readiness & Quality of Care Training for Agency Nurses
Although agency nurses are not directly registered with the CQC, their practice is central to safe inspection outcomes for providers and commissioning bodies.
Our training helps you understand CQC standards, documentation requirements, safeguarding responsibilities and your role in evidencing high-quality care during inspections and audits.
Consultancy & Professional Support for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also offers specialist consultancy and one-to-one professional support for nurses working in complex community and CHC environments.
We help you navigate clinical challenges, ethical dilemmas, and organisational expectations while maintaining safe, person-centred practice.
Support with Complex Cases & Patient Transitions
Transitions between hospital, home, residential care, and community packages are often high-risk and administratively complex.
We provide guidance on transition planning, CHC reviews, discharge processes and interdisciplinary working, helping you promote continuity, safety, and dignity for patients.
Person-Centred Care Planning for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Many CHC agency nurses support individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and long-term complex health needs in community settings.
We share best practice on person-centred risk assessments, positive behaviour support, communication strategies, and tailored care planning to promote independence, safety, and quality of life.
Events, Workshops & Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular events, webinars, and informal meetups are a core part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network, helping you stay informed and connected.
Our sessions are designed around real practice issues faced by agency nurses in CHC, community and complex care settings.
Regular CHC-Focused Events & Knowledge Sharing
We run online and in-person events that cover CHC updates, legal changes, case studies, clinical topics, and professional wellbeing.
These sessions help you keep up-to-date with policy changes, NHS guidance, CQC expectations and emerging best practice in Continuing Healthcare.
Professional Growth, Mentoring & Career Development
By joining our events and network, you can connect with experienced CHC nurses, managers and clinical leaders who share insight into career progression and specialist roles.
We encourage informal mentoring, reflective practice and shared learning to support your long-term development in the CHC sector.
