CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Your UK Network for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Expertise, Professional Development & Peer Support
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK.
We connect CHC agency nurses, provide expert training and consultancy, and offer a supportive space where nurses can grow their skills, share challenges, and enhance the quality of care they deliver.
Our mission is to empower CHC nurses and care providers to deliver safe, effective and person-centred care while remaining fully compliant with national guidelines and regulatory requirements.
Through regular events, confidential online groups, and specialist training, we help you stay up to date with best practice in CHC.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a nationwide professional network of over 500 CHC agency nurses who work in Continuing Healthcare, complex community care and related specialist fields.
We bring together like‑minded professionals who understand the pressures of nursing and who want to share knowledge, support each other and develop their CHC careers.
Our network is designed to be a place where nurses can relax, connect and collaborate.
Only another nurse truly understands the daily realities, responsibilities and emotional demands of our profession; that is why our community is built on mutual understanding, confidentiality and respect.
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly stay in touch via invite‑only social media groups, attend in‑person and virtual events, and often build friendships that last for many years.
We welcome new members who want to join a safe, supportive and professionally focused environment.
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development for Agency Nurses
We understand that ongoing professional development is essential for CHC nurses who want to deliver high‑quality care and maintain strong clinical credibility.
That is why CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a range of specialist training and educational support focused on Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Our training and guidance cover key areas such as CHC assessments, care planning, community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) applications, complex case management and regulatory compliance.
Content is developed and delivered by experienced CHC nurses and trainers, ensuring it is practical, relevant and immediately usable in real‑world practice.
CHC Eligibility, Assessments & Community DOLs Application Training
Our flagship CHC training modules focus on the full Continuing Healthcare eligibility and assessment process, including completion of the Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST) and associated documentation.
We help nurses understand the national framework, funding criteria and best practice for evidence gathering and multidisciplinary working.
We also provide guidance on community DOL (Deprivation of Liberty) applications, capacity assessments and lawful restrictions in community settings.
This training improves nurses’ confidence in navigating complex legal and ethical frameworks while delivering person‑centred, rights‑based care.
CQC Preparation & Quality Assurance Support
For nurses working with care providers subject to Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulation, we offer pre‑inspection preparation and quality assurance support.
Our experienced CHC professionals can guide you on best practice policies, care documentation, governance, and evidence‑based care delivery.
By understanding CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and quality standards, nurses in our network are better equipped to support services through inspections, drive improvements and consistently demonstrate safe, effective and well‑led care.
Transition Support & Complex Care Coordination in CHC
Transitions between hospital, community and care home settings are especially challenging for people with complex needs in CHC pathways.
Within our network, we share best practice and training on safe care transitions, discharge planning and continuity of care.
Our focus is on helping nurses develop person‑centred transition plans that prioritise safety, communication and consistency.
This reduces risks, prevents avoidable readmissions and improves the overall experience for patients and families receiving CHC‑funded support.
Care & Support Planning for People with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC nurses support individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex health needs living in the community or residential placements.
CHC Nurses Agency Network promotes evidence‑based, rights‑respecting approaches to LD care and support planning.
We encourage nurses to develop individualised care plans that promote independence, dignity and inclusion, working closely with families, multidisciplinary teams and support staff.
Through shared resources and peer support, our network helps nurses align healthcare needs with social, emotional and behavioural support for people with LD.
Expert CHC Case Management & Complex Care Oversight
Continuing Healthcare often involves complex, multi‑agency care packages.
Our network brings together nurses with extensive experience in CHC case management, enabling members to share strategies for coordinating care, monitoring outcomes and keeping packages safe, effective and cost‑efficient.
We focus on person‑centred, legally compliant case management that respects patient choice and maximises quality of life.
Through peer discussions, online groups and training, nurses learn how to work effectively with commissioners, providers, families and other professionals in CHC pathways.
Events, Networking & 24/7 Peer Support for CHC Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, webinars and online meet‑ups to bring our community of CHC nurses together.
These sessions cover policy updates, case discussions, clinical topics, and practical guidance on working as an agency nurse in CHC.
We maintain several confidential, invite‑only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nurses share professional issues, ask questions and support each other 24‑hours a day, 365 days a year.
This constant peer support is one of the key benefits of joining our network.
Many nurses in our community become long‑term friends and professional allies, building a trusted network they can rely on throughout their careers in CHC and complex care.
