CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Support & Community for Nurses
Connecting and Supporting CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing, and complex care settings across the UK. We bring together CHC specialists, provide expert guidance, and make it easier for nurses and healthcare organisations to deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care.
Through our private network, training, and consultancy services, we help CHC agency nurses, nurse assessors, and healthcare providers stay up to date with best practice, navigate CHC processes, and build meaningful professional connections that last throughout their careers.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
Supportive Community & Peer Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, connect, and share with people who truly understand the realities of CHC and agency nursing. Only another nurse knows the pressure, responsibility, and emotional load that comes with our role.
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch daily through confidential, invite-only social media groups. Members share clinical insights, case experiences, job opportunities, and emotional support 24-7-365, creating a trusted space for honest, professional discussion.
Private Social Media Groups & Ongoing Connections
We welcome new members into our private CHC agency nurses groups, where you’ll find like-minded professionals at every stage of their CHC career. Many of our members not only grow professionally but also form genuine friendships that last for years.
From quick questions about CHC documentation to deeper discussions about complex cases, our network gives you instant access to experienced peers who can help you problem-solve and feel less isolated in your role.
Continuing Healthcare Training and Professional Development
Specialist Courses in CHC, Case Management & Funding
We provide targeted training for CHC agency nurses and healthcare teams who want to deepen their understanding of NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care processes. Our sessions are designed and delivered by experienced CHC practitioners.
Training topics include CHC eligibility criteria, CHC assessments and checklists, DST completion, care planning, case management, and funding pathways. We focus on practical skills that you can immediately apply in assessments, MDTs, and everyday community practice.
Regulatory Compliance, CQC Readiness & Best Practice
Regulatory frameworks such as CQC standards, Mental Capacity Act, and Deprivation of Liberty safeguards (DoLS) place specific demands on CHC services and agency nurses. Our training and resources help you and your organisation stay audit-ready and fully compliant.
Using real-world case studies and scenario-based learning, we show nurses and providers how to document care appropriately, evidence clinical decision-making, and embed best practice across all CHC and complex care activity.
Consultancy Services for Healthcare Organisations & Providers
Pre-CQC Assessments & Organisational Readiness
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy to care homes, domiciliary care providers, CHC teams, and agencies preparing for CQC inspections or service reviews. We assess your current systems, documentation, and clinical practice against regulatory and CHC standards.
Following a structured review, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen compliance, improve care quality, and support safer, more efficient CHC service delivery.
CHC Pathway, Transitions & Complex Care Advice
Transitions between hospital, home, and community settings can be particularly complex for patients receiving CHC or being assessed for funding. We offer expert consultancy on care transitions, discharge planning, and CHC pathway navigation.
Our support focuses on minimising risk, ensuring continuity of care, and aligning providers, families, and CHC teams around clear, person-centred plans that protect patient safety and outcomes.
Specialist Support in Learning Disabilities & Individualised Care
Learning Disability Care & Support Planning
Many members of our network work with individuals who have Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex needs. We support nurses and organisations to develop person-centred LD care plans that promote independence, dignity, and quality of life.
By sharing evidence-based approaches and best practice tools, the network helps you design and implement safe, individualised care in line with CHC and LD standards.
CHC Funding, Community DoL & Application Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also shares guidance and consultancy support around CHC funding applications, appeals, and complex community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes.
We help nurses and providers understand requirements, complete documentation correctly, and work collaboratively with CHC teams and local authorities to secure appropriate, lawful funding and safeguards for individuals in their care.
Events, Workshops & Knowledge Sharing
Regular CHC Networking Events & Workshops
We run regular events to keep our CHC Agency Nurses Network connected. These include in-person and online workshops, seminars, and informal meetups focused on CHC practice, complex care, regulation, and professional wellbeing.
Our events give you opportunities to learn from expert speakers, share case experiences, discuss current policy, and build a strong support network of CHC colleagues from across the UK.
Continual Learning & Policy Updates
Through our network and events, you can stay ahead of changes in NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, commissioning models, case law, and CQC or statutory frameworks.
We believe ongoing professional development is essential for safe, effective CHC practice. Our aim is to help you maintain up-to-date knowledge while also protecting your own wellbeing in a demanding clinical environment.
Case Management, Coordination & Best Practice in CHC
Person-Centred CHC Case Coordination
Many network members work as CHC case managers, nurse assessors, or complex care coordinators. Through shared resources and consultancy, we promote person-centred case management across assessment, review, and delivery phases.
We emphasise holistic planning that accounts for clinical, psychological, and social needs, ensuring that individuals and families feel fully involved and informed at every stage of their CHC journey.
Efficient Pathways, Documentation & Compliance
Effective CHC case management relies on robust documentation, clear communication, and alignment with national frameworks. Within our network, we share templates, tips, and examples for high-quality records and multidisciplinary collaboration.
This collective expertise helps nurses and organisations optimise resources, reduce duplication, and maintain strong compliance with CHC, CQC, and legal standards while keeping person-centred care at the forefront.
