CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
A Professional Network Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional community dedicated to nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), Community DOLs and complex care.
We combine high-quality training, peer support, and networking to help you grow your CHC expertise, improve patient outcomes, and make agency nursing life easier and more rewarding.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional demands of nursing.
Our network gives you a safe, supportive place to connect with colleagues who “get it”, share knowledge, and develop your CHC career with confidence.

You can share professional issues, clinical dilemmas and CHC challenges 24-7-365 with experienced agency nurses who understand your work and are willing to help.
Our community gives you instant access to practical support whenever you need it.

You will be invited into our private social media groups and events so you can start building your CHC network straight away.
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses
Developing Expertise in CHC Assessments, Funding and Care Planning
Our training is designed specifically for agency nurses and healthcare professionals involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare.
We focus on eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), evidence gathering, CHC assessments and funding processes, so you can work confidently and compliantly in any CHC setting.
Learn from Experienced CHC Practitioners
Our trainers are experienced CHC clinicians and nurses who work in real-world CHC and complex care environments.
They share practical examples, case studies and current best practice so you can immediately apply what you learn in your day-to-day agency roles.
Flexible, Practical Courses for Busy Agency Nurses
We understand the demands of agency work, so our CHC training is delivered in flexible formats, including online sessions, live webinars and workshops.
Content is always practical, up-to-date and tailored to both new and experienced CHC nurses.
Support with CHC, FNC and Community DOL Applications
Confidence with Complex CHC and Community DOL Processes
We provide guidance and training on CHC applications, Funded Nursing Care (FNC), reviews and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) processes.
Our aim is to improve your understanding of documentation, legal frameworks and multi-agency working so you can support fair, accurate and timely decisions for your patients.
Improving Documentation, Evidence and Outcomes
We focus on effective record-keeping, robust clinical evidence, person-centred care planning and professional communication with CHC teams.
This helps agency nurses contribute confidently to CHC decisions and ensures safer, more consistent outcomes for individuals with complex needs.
Regular Events, Workshops and CHC Networking Opportunities
Stay Up to Date with CHC Policy and Best Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events, including workshops, seminars and informal meet-ups.
These sessions keep you updated on changes in CHC guidance, CQC expectations, Community DOLs, complex care pathways and professional standards.
Learn, Share and Grow Your CHC Career
At every event, you can learn from expert speakers, share real cases with peers, and build your professional profile within the CHC community.
Many members find new opportunities, roles and collaborations through the connections they make in our network.
Peer-Led Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Person-Centred Care Planning and Practice
Many nurses in our network specialise in supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and complex physical and mental health needs.
We share resources, templates and approaches that help you deliver person-centred, dignified care in homes, community settings and specialist services.
Promoting Safety, Independence and Quality of Life
Through shared experience and expert guidance, we help CHC agency nurses focus on safety, positive risk-taking and independence, while meeting all legal and regulatory requirements.
This ensures better outcomes and improved quality of life for the people you support.
Support with Pre-CQC Preparation and Quality Standards
Understanding CQC Expectations in CHC and Community Settings
While we are not a regulatory body, our network includes nurses with extensive CQC and quality experience who share guidance on good practice, documentation and professional conduct.
We help agency nurses understand how their practice contributes to safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services.
Practical Tips, Shared Resources and Peer Learning
Members regularly share checklists, audit tools and real examples to help each other prepare for CQC inspections and maintain high standards of care.
This peer learning helps you feel more confident and inspection-ready, wherever you are placed.
Person-Centred Case Coordination and Professional Collaboration
Working Together Around the Person
Many of our members act as key workers or case coordinators in CHC and complex care packages, working closely with families, MDTs, social care and commissioning teams.
Our network provides a space to discuss complex situations, ethical issues and best practice in multi-agency working.
Better Outcomes Through Shared Expertise
By pooling knowledge and experience, we help each other improve communication, reduce risk and deliver seamless, person-centred care for people with high levels of need.
