A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

A Place to Connect, Relax and Share Real-Life CHC Experience

Nursing is demanding, and Continuing Healthcare roles can be even more complex. Only another nurse truly understands the pressures of managing 24-hour complex care packages, family expectations and regulatory requirements.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe space to:

  • Talk openly about professional issues, challenges and wins.
  • Share best practice and real-life experiences in CHC nursing.
  • Ask questions and get instant feedback from peers.
  • Build friendships and long-lasting professional relationships.

Many of our members stay in touch for years, offering each other ongoing emotional and professional support throughout their CHC careers.

Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups

We run several confidential, invite-only social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses. Within these groups, over 500 CHC nursing professionals share:

  • Clinical and professional questions and answers in real time.
  • Updates on CHC policies, frameworks and local practices.
  • Advice on agency work, contracts and working conditions.
  • Support during difficult shifts, complex cases or inspections.

These groups are monitored and maintained as a safe, respectful and confidential space, open 24-7-365 for members to access support whenever they need it.

Specialist Training for CHC and Community Agency Nurses

Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Assessment & Funding Training

We provide targeted CHC training designed specifically for agency nurses and teams working with NHS Continuing Healthcare-funded patients. Our CHC training courses cover:

  • The National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
  • Eligibility criteria and understanding the Decision Support Tool (DST).
  • Roles and responsibilities of agency nurses within CHC-funded packages.
  • Clinical documentation to support CHC reviews and appeals.
  • Working effectively with ICBs, local authority teams and MDTs.

All training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who understand the realities of agency work and community practice, helping you feel more confident, compliant and prepared in your CHC roles.

Community DoLS & Legal Safeguarding Training

For nurses supporting patients in the community who may be deprived of their liberty, we provide Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) training that explains:

  • When and how DoLS applies in community settings.
  • Legal frameworks and responsibilities for nurses.

  • Reviewing policies, procedures and clinical documentation.
  • Assessing care plans, risk assessments and safeguarding records.
  • Identifying gaps in CHC training, competencies and supervision.

Our consultancy helps ensure your organisation is inspection-ready and consistently delivering safe, person-centred, CHC-compliant care.

Supporting Person-Centred CHC & LD Care

Learning Disability (LD) CHC Care & Support Planning

Many CHC-funded patients have learning disabilities (LD) and complex needs. We support nurses and services to develop person-centred LD care plans that:

  • Promote independence, choice and dignity.
  • Address physical, emotional and social needs.
  • Integrate family and multidisciplinary input.
  • Use evidence-based approaches for positive outcomes.

Our focus is to help individuals with LD and CHC funding live safe, meaningful lives with care that truly reflects their wishes and needs.
