CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Support, Training & Community for Nurses
A Dedicated Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Nurses & Agency Professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and support hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS), complex care and case management roles.
We bring together agency nurses, independent practitioners and healthcare professionals who understand the specific pressures, challenges and opportunities of working in CHC assessments, community-based care and multi‑agency teams across the UK.
Our goal is simple: to make professional life easier and more rewarding for CHC nurses by offering peer support, expert guidance, CHC-focused training and a strong, confidential professional network.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Only a nurse truly understands the emotional, mental and physical demands of nursing—especially within CHC, complex community care and high‑stakes assessments.
Within our community, you will find nurses who have walked in your shoes, understand the pressures of tight timescales, complex decision-support tools, multi‑disciplinary team (MDT) meetings, and the constant need to stay compliant with national CHC and CQC standards.
Our network helps you to:
- Build meaningful professional connections with CHC specialists nationwide.
- Access real‑world advice on CHC practice, policy and documentation.
- Stay updated on CHC frameworks, community DoLS and best practice.
- Develop your career, skills and confidence in Continuing Healthcare.
- Share everyday challenges in a confidential, supportive environment.
Our Core Services & Community Offer
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development
CHC Eligibility, DST & Community DoLS Training for Nurses
We provide targeted training and webinars for nurses and agency professionals who want to deepen their understanding of Continuing Healthcare eligibility, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, checklists, reviews and community DoLS applications.
Our sessions use practical case studies and real‑world scenarios to build your confidence in assessment, documentation, evidence gathering and MDT contribution, helping you deliver safe, lawful and person‑centred care.
Transitional Care, Discharge Planning & Support Coordination
We support nurses working in hospital discharges, step‑down placements and transitions between services, where CHC funding and complex care packages often need to be coordinated quickly and safely.
Our guidance focuses on robust, person‑centred support planning that reduces risk, prevents breakdown of placements, and ensures individuals and families feel informed and included at every stage.
Consultancy & Support for Organisations Using CHC Agency Nurses
Pre‑CQC Support, Quality Assurance & Compliance
For care providers, agencies and organisations that rely on CHC nurses, we offer consultancy and pre‑CQC support, helping you to strengthen your CHC processes, clinical governance and documentation.
We can review care plans, risk assessments, CHC documentation, policies and procedures to ensure your services remain compliant, robust and aligned with current NHS CHC Framework and CQC requirements.
Person‑Centred Support for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Many of our network members work with individuals who have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, mental health needs and complex physical conditions within CHC‑funded packages.
Through shared expertise and consultancy, we promote person‑centred care, positive risk management and evidence‑based approaches that improve quality of life, dignity and independence for the people you support.
Events, Networking & Community Engagement
Regular CHC‑Focused Events & Online Sessions
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events designed specifically for nurses and professionals working in CHC and complex community care.
These include webinars, Q&A sessions, panel discussions, peer support groups and informal meet‑ups, giving you the chance to stay updated, ask questions and share practice in a safe space.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch through confidential, invite‑only social media groups that are active 24‑7‑365.
Members share professional issues, CHC queries, job opportunities, practical tips and moral support, often forming friendships and connections that last for years.
Case Management, CHC Practice & Expert Support
Person‑Centred CHC Case Management & Coordination
Many nurses in our network act as case managers, CHC assessors or complex care coordinators, responsible for ensuring safe, consistent and holistic care across multiple providers.
Through our community and consultancy, we support best practice in holistic assessment, outcome‑focused care planning, multidisciplinary working and review processes that promote independence, wellbeing and regulatory compliance.
Sharing Best Practice in CHC Documentation & Evidence
Robust, clear documentation is central to safe CHC practice, funding decisions and CQC inspection outcomes.
Within the network, we regularly share templates, tips and practical guidance on record‑keeping, report writing, risk assessments and CHC evidence gathering to help you save time and improve quality.
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just a mailing list or discussion forum—it is a professional community built by nurses, for nurses.
Many of our members join seeking answers and support, and stay because they find trusted colleagues, new friends and long‑term collaborators who understand the realities of working in CHC.
We welcome new members at all stages of their CHC journey, from nurses who are new to Continuing Healthcare to highly experienced CHC leads, assessors and case managers.
