CHC Nurses Agency Network: UK Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses

CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Nurses in the UK

Supporting UK Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK. We provide expert CHC training, practical consultancy for healthcare organisations, and a confidential network where agency nurses can connect, share knowledge, and develop their careers.

Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the realities of agency work, CHC assessments, and the pressures of modern healthcare. We exist to help you grow professionally, stay compliant, feel supported, and deliver safe, person-centred care in every setting.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, supportive space where agency nurses and CHC professionals can:

Relax and connect with like-minded CHC nurses who truly understand your work.
Access Continuing Healthcare training, resources and updates from experienced practitioners.
Discuss real-world CHC cases, assessments and complex situations in a confidential setting.
Share professional challenges, tips and successes 24/7, 365 days a year.
Build long-term friendships and professional relationships with other agency nurses across the UK.

Our core network includes around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who stay in touch daily through invite-only, confidential social media groups and regular online and in-person events.

Care planning, risk assessment and complex case management within CHC.
Regulatory compliance, record keeping and professional accountability.

All training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and senior nurses, ensuring you gain practical skills you can immediately apply in your day-to-day role.

Healthcare Consultancy for CHC Services & Providers

Alongside training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy support to healthcare organisations, agencies and providers working within CHC and complex care. We can help you to:

Strengthen your CHC processes, pathways and documentation.
Prepare for CQC inspections and regulatory reviews.

Specialist Support in Healthcare Transitions & Care Planning

Supporting Transitions in Continuing Healthcare

Safe transitions from hospital to home or community placements.
Moves between providers, care homes, or supported living environments.
Coordinated handovers to maintain continuity, safety and person-centred care.

We focus on protecting patient outcomes, dignity and stability during every transition, with nurses sharing best practice and real-world insight through our community.

Pre-CQC Support & Quality Readiness

Review policies, procedures and care plans against CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs).
Identify gaps in documentation, training and clinical governance.
Strengthen compliance around CHC, safeguarding and capacity.
Build confident, well-informed nursing teams ready to respond to CQC questions.

We provide practical, realistic feedback to help you achieve and maintain strong CQC outcomes.

Many nurses in our network work with individuals who have learning disabilities, autism and complex health needs. We support best practice in:

Developing person-centred care plans that promote independence and choice.
Balancing clinical needs with quality of life and personal preferences.
Working within CHC and social care frameworks for complex community packages.

Through shared learning and peer support, we help nurses deliver safe, dignified and personalised care for people with learning disabilities across CHC pathways.

In-Depth CHC & Community DOL Training

Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

Our CHC training offers a clear, step-by-step breakdown of the entire Continuing Healthcare process, including:

The legal and policy foundations of NHS Continuing Healthcare.
How to complete and contribute to Checklists and DSTs.
Clinical reasoning and evidence to support eligibility recommendations.
Appeals, reviews and ongoing management of CHC-funded packages.

These sessions are designed for agency nurses, CHC assessors and community nurses who want to feel confident and competent in CHC practice.

Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Processes

We provide focused training on the Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) process in community and non-hospital settings to support:

Understanding when restrictions may amount to a deprivation of liberty.
Legal frameworks, including Mental Capacity Act safeguards and DoLS/Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) developments.
Best interest decision-making and documentation.
Balancing safety and autonomy for vulnerable adults in CHC packages.

Our training helps nurses and providers stay legally compliant and ethically sound while protecting the rights of the people they support.

Events are a key way our members stay up to date, connected and confident in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
