CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community
Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Partner in Continuing Healthcare Excellence
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist nursing consultancy and professional community dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and wider community health services across the UK.
We connect experienced CHC nurses, case managers and healthcare professionals with organisations that need expert support, while offering high-quality training, consultancy and a strong peer network that helps you grow your career and improve patient outcomes.
What Is CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a typical nursing agency – it is a professional community and consultancy built around the real needs of CHC nurses and healthcare providers.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected 24/7/365 through confidential, invite-only social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and collaborative learning opportunities, creating a trusted space where CHC nurses can share knowledge, solve problems and support each other.
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC & Agency Nurses
A Place to Connect, Relax and Be Understood
Nursing in Continuing Healthcare and community settings can be demanding, and only another nurse truly understands the daily pressures, complex decisions and emotional load that come with the job.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a welcoming, safe and relaxed environment where CHC nurses can talk openly, share experiences and find understanding peers who “get it” – not just as colleagues, but often as long-term friends.
Private, Confidential Social Media Groups
We host confidential, invite-only social media groups that operate around the clock, giving CHC nurses a secure space to discuss professional issues, complex CHC cases, policies, and best practice in real time.
Within these groups, members can ask questions, seek second opinions, share resources and keep up with changing CHC frameworks, CCG/ICB expectations and local commissioning requirements, all while maintaining strict confidentiality and professional standards.
Regular Events to Build Knowledge and Community
We run regular online and in-person events, workshops and meet-ups to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together.
These events are designed to support your Continuing Professional Development (CPD), keep you informed about CHC policy changes and give you space to build lasting professional relationships that often turn into real friendships over time.
Specialist CHC Training & Consultancy for Healthcare Organisations
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Multidisciplinary Teams
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist Continuing Healthcare training designed for agency nurses, community nurses, MDT members, care home staff and managers who work with CHC-eligible patients.
Our training covers core CHC topics such as eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, checklist assessments, care planning, funding pathways and legal considerations, helping staff navigate the CHC process with confidence and accuracy.
Pre-CQC Support and Quality Improvement Consultancy
We offer consultancy and pre-CQC support to care providers, nursing agencies, domiciliary care services and CHC providers who want to strengthen compliance and quality before an inspection.
Our experienced nurses and consultants review your policies, procedures, documentation and day-to-day practice against CQC standards and CHC requirements, then provide clear, practical recommendations to improve safety, quality, governance and outcomes.
Person-Centred Support for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
The network includes nurses and case managers with strong expertise in Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex community care, who can support the development of highly personalised, person-centred care plans.
We work with families, providers and commissioning bodies to design care packages that promote independence, dignity and safety, ensuring that clinical, behavioural and social needs are met in a way that aligns with person-centred values and evidence-based practice.
Expertise in CHC Funding, Case Management & Community DOLs
Comprehensive CHC Funding & Eligibility Training
Our CHC training goes beyond the basics, providing a clear, structured understanding of how CHC funding works, how eligibility is determined and how assessments should be documented.
We help nurses and MDTs interpret the CHC framework, understand key domains (such as behaviour, cognition, breathing, nutrition and skin), and accurately record clinical evidence to support fair, robust eligibility decisions.
Community DOL (Deprivation of Liberty) Applications and Legal Awareness
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports providers and nurses with training and guidance around Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) applications and the legal frameworks that govern restrictive practice in community settings.
Our experts explain when DOLs are required, how to prepare applications and how to uphold human rights and best-interest principles while delivering safe, structured care in the community.
Case Management: Coordinated, Person-Centred CHC Support
We work with experienced CHC case managers who can coordinate complex care packages for adults and children with high levels of health need, ensuring continuity and quality across providers.
Case management services include holistic assessment, care planning, risk management, multi-agency liaison and ongoing review, all aimed at improving quality of life, safeguarding wellbeing and making best use of CHC funding.
Professional Development & Networking for CHC Nurses
Grow Your CHC Career with Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is an ideal place to develop your CHC nursing career, build confidence and access informal peer mentoring from nurses who have already navigated similar roles and challenges.
Members regularly share tips on agency work, CHC roles, documentation, interviews, revalidation and work–life balance, making it easier to progress professionally while looking after your own wellbeing.
Stay Up to Date with CHC Policies and Best Practice
Because CHC policies, frameworks and local commissioning approaches often change, staying informed is essential for safe, compliant practice.
Through our network, events and online discussion groups, members receive regular updates, peer-reviewed resources and practical guidance on National Framework revisions, NHS England guidance and local ICB expectations.
Why Choose CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network was created by nurses who work in CHC and understand the real-world pressures of agency work, community practice and complex case management.
That lived experience means our support, training and consultancy are always grounded in practical, day-to-day realities rather than theory alone.
Person-Centred, Flexible and Collaborative
Whether you are an individual nurse, a care provider or a commissioning body, we tailor our support to your needs, budget and context.
We collaborate with your teams to develop realistic, sustainable solutions that enhance compliance, quality and patient experience without adding unnecessary complexity.
Committed to Quality, Safety and Continuous Improvement
We stay at the forefront of CHC and community care developments, regularly reviewing national guidance and best practice standards to keep our network and clients fully up to date.
This ongoing commitment to learning and improvement helps ensure safer care, stronger documentation and better inspection outcomes for the organisations we support.
