CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your UK Community for CHC Agency Nurses, Training & Consultancy
A Professional Network for Continuing Healthcare Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide professional community and consultancy dedicated to supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations. We bring together CHC nurses, provide specialist CHC-focused training, and offer expert consultancy to help you deliver safe, high-quality, and compliant care.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network is a place to connect, learn, and grow your CHC nursing career. We understand the pressure and complexity of agency nursing in CHC settings, and we provide the tools, knowledge, and support you need to thrive in roles spanning CHC assessments, community care, complex care packages, and learning disability services.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
We know that only another nurse truly understands the realities of nursing life—the long shifts, the emotional labour, the pressure of clinical decisions, and the need to stay updated with changing CHC and CQC requirements. Our network gives CHC agency nurses a supportive environment where you can:
- Build professional relationships with CHC nurses across the UK
- Access peer support from nurses who understand your daily challenges
- Stay up to date with CHC frameworks, policies, and best practice
- Join confidential, invite-only social media groups for 24/7 discussion and support
- Attend regular events, webinars, and workshops focused on CHC and complex care
- Explore opportunities to develop your CHC nursing career and build your expertise
Many nurses who join our network go on to build long-term friendships and professional connections that last for years. We actively welcome new members into our community and support them to feel part of a trusted group of CHC agency professionals.
Our Continuing Healthcare Training & Support Services
In addition to our social and professional network, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers structured CHC training, workshops, and consultancy designed around the realities of agency nursing and complex community care.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Community DoLS Application Training
Our specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training equips agency nurses and healthcare professionals with clear, practical understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, assessment pathways, funding processes, and care planning. We also cover Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) application processes to help you work safely and legally in complex community settings.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and case managers who work daily within CHC frameworks. Sessions focus on real-world scenarios, documentation standards, clinical evidence gathering, and multidisciplinary working, so you can approach CHC cases with confidence and competence.
CQC Readiness & CHC Service Compliance Support
We support CHC providers, care homes, and community services with CQC readiness training tailored to CHC and complex care environments. Our consultancy helps you align your policies, care records, risk assessments, and care plans with CQC’s fundamental standards and CHC best practice.
Through mock reviews, documentation audits, and staff coaching, we identify gaps in compliance and give you clear, actionable steps to strengthen safety, governance, and person-centred care before a CQC inspection.
Learning Disabilities (LD) Care & Person-Centred Support Plans
The CHC Nurses Agency Network includes nurses with specialist expertise in Learning Disabilities (LD) and autism, offering guidance on personalised care plans, positive behaviour support, and complex health needs within supported living, residential and community settings.
We promote evidence-based, person-centred approaches that prioritise independence, dignity, communication, and safety. Our support enables nurses and organisations to design LD care that is holistic, consistent, and compliant with relevant legal and regulatory frameworks.
CHC Consultancy, Case Management & Care Coordination
Safe Transitions in Continuing Healthcare
Transitions—such as hospital discharge to home, moving between care providers, or stepping into CHC-funded care—are high-risk periods for individuals and services. We provide consultancy and guidance on safe, well-coordinated transitions that maintain continuity of care.
Our network can support you in planning handover processes, communication pathways, risk management, and documentation, helping to minimise disruption for patients, families, and staff.
Case Management & Complex Care Coordination
Through our extended network of CHC professionals, we offer case management and care coordination support for individuals with complex, long-term health needs. We work collaboratively with CHC teams, community nurses, therapy services, and families to build robust, person-centred care plans.
Our case management approach ensures that resources are used effectively, risks are identified early, and care is aligned with CHC frameworks, supporting better outcomes and a higher quality of life for the people you support.
Supporting Organisations with CHC & CQC Requirements
For providers delivering CHC-funded or complex care packages, our consultancy offers ongoing support with CHC processes, CQC expectations, and clinical governance. We help you embed robust systems, accurate documentation, and staff training that demonstrate safe and effective care.
From reviewing care plans and incident reporting to advising on audits and supervision, we support organisations to build sustainable quality and compliance across their CHC services.
Events, Community & Professional Development for CHC Nurses
Regular Events, Webinars & Peer Learning
Workshops, Seminars & Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events—both online and in person—designed to bring our nursing community together and provide up-to-date CHC knowledge. Our workshops, seminars, and webinars cover topics such as CHC assessments, documentation, risk management, end-of-life care, mental capacity, and DoLS.
These sessions support your Continuing Professional Development (CPD), helping you stay aligned with current NHS CHC guidance, legal changes, and CQC expectations, while learning from experienced practitioners in the field.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals share experience, ask questions, and support one another 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
These groups are safe spaces to discuss professional issues, CHC cases, policy changes, and work-life balance with colleagues who understand your role. Many members remain in close contact and form lasting friendships through the network.
