CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses
Connecting, Supporting and Developing CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare professionals working across the UK. We bring together experienced CHC nurses, provide expert training and consultancy, and create a safe, supportive space where agency nurses can share knowledge, develop professionally, and build lasting connections.
Our mission is to empower CHC agency nurses with the skills, confidence and professional network they need to deliver high-quality, person-centred and compliant Continuing Healthcare across all care settings.
What We Do
Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a welcoming, confidential community where CHC agency nurses can connect, share experiences and access peer support 24/7. Our private, invite-only social media groups host a core network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals who openly discuss professional issues, best practice and everyday challenges in Continuing Healthcare.
Continuing Healthcare Training & CPD
We provide specialist CHC training programmes designed for agency nurses and healthcare professionals involved in the CHC process. Our courses cover eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), care planning, compliance, documentation and person-centred care – helping you stay up to date with national CHC guidance and standards while boosting your clinical confidence and CPD portfolio.
Events, Workshops & Networking
We run regular CHC-focused events, workshops, webinars and networking sessions that bring our community together. These events offer opportunities to learn from expert CHC practitioners, discuss complex cases, share career advice, and expand your professional network with other agency nurses, case managers and healthcare leaders.
CHC Consultancy & Professional Support
Our expert team offers consultancy and advisory support for nurses and organisations involved in Continuing Healthcare. We can help you navigate CHC processes, documentation, community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications, complex discharge planning and multidisciplinary working, ensuring safe, effective and compliant care pathways for individuals eligible for CHC funding.
Specialist Areas of CHC Support
Hospital Discharge, Transitions & Care Pathways
Transitions between hospital, community and long-term care settings are central to Continuing Healthcare. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses involved in discharge to assess (D2A), CHC checklist completion, DST meetings and care transitions, helping to ensure safe, seamless and person-centred moves between care environments.
CHC Assessments, Eligibility & Documentation
Our network helps agency nurses build confidence and competence in CHC assessments and eligibility processes. Through peer support, training and shared resources, we focus on accurate record-keeping, robust clinical rationales, effective MDT participation and clear documentation aligned with the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care.
Community DoL & Legal Compliance
We support CHC nurses involved in Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications, risk management and safeguarding. The network promotes awareness of legal responsibilities, capacity assessments and best-interest decision-making, helping agency nurses work safely and lawfully in complex community settings.
Support for Adults with Complex Needs & Learning Disabilities
Many CHC-eligible individuals live with learning disabilities, autism or complex physical and mental health needs. Our community shares best practice in person-centred care planning, positive behaviour support, communication, community inclusion and risk management to enhance safety, dignity and quality of life for those we support.
Case Management & Multidisciplinary Working
We help CHC agency nurses strengthen their skills in case management, coordination and multidisciplinary team (MDT) working. Within the network you can discuss real-life scenarios, explore strategies for collaborative care planning and learn how to advocate effectively for individuals receiving CHC-funded packages.
The CHC Agency Nurses Community
A Safe Space to Share, Learn and Grow
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training platform – it is a professional and social community where nurses understand the pressures and realities of agency CHC work. Members often form long-term friendships, stay in touch between shifts and contracts, and support each other through the day-to-day demands of nursing and life.
We welcome new members to join our private social media groups and invite-only discussion forums, where you can ask questions, share experiences, access resources and contribute your expertise to a growing national network of CHC specialists.
24/7 Peer Support and Professional Discussion
Our confidential online groups are active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, enabling CHC agency nurses working different shifts and across different regions to stay connected. Whether you want to discuss a complex CHC case, explore career options, or simply debrief after a challenging day, there is always someone in the network who understands.
