CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Support, Training & Community for Nurses
A dedicated UK network for CHC nurses, agency nurses and healthcare organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive UK-based community and consultancy created specifically for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and community care settings.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and case management guidance with a trusted professional network, helping nurses and healthcare providers deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care in line with UK regulations.
Through our private social media groups, regular events and educational sessions, we make it easier for CHC nurses to connect, share knowledge and navigate the demands of complex community care, funding processes and CQC expectations.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional community and a specialist resource hub for nurses and healthcare organisations involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare and community-based care.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer a safe, confidential space to discuss real-world issues, access peer support and advance your CHC knowledge, confidence and career.
Members benefit from 24/7 peer discussion, access to invite-only social media groups, as well as opportunities for training, collaboration and professional development.
Our Core Services & Support at a Glance
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses & Care Teams
Our focused training sessions deepen understanding of CHC eligibility, assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes and funding pathways.
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, our programmes ensure that agency nurses, CHC assessors and community teams are confident, compliant and up to date with current NHS CHC frameworks and best practice.
Consultancy for Healthcare & Care Organisations
We support care providers, nursing agencies and community services with CHC-related consultancy, from care planning in complex cases to CHC process optimisation and documentation review.
Our consultancy solutions are tailored to your organisation’s needs, helping you meet regulatory standards, prepare for inspections and improve patient outcomes efficiently.
Professional Network, Events & Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, virtual meet-ups and knowledge-sharing sessions designed to bring CHC nurses together in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Many of our members build long-term friendships and professional connections, maintaining ongoing contact and support far beyond individual events.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Support
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses and community nurses can discuss professional issues 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
These groups provide a safe space to ask questions, share experiences, get feedback on CHC scenarios and access peer guidance in real time.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Built by Nurses, for Nurses
Our network is led by experienced CHC and agency nurses who understand the pressures of working in complex community settings, fast-paced agencies and multidisciplinary teams.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the demands of our profession, which is why our support is practical, realistic and grounded in everyday practice.
Personalised, Real-World CHC Guidance
Every CHC case, organisation and nurse is different, so we focus on personalised advice and tailored strategies rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
We help you interpret CHC frameworks, apply policy in real scenarios and build robust, person-centred care plans that reflect both clinical need and quality of life.
Support with Quality, Compliance & CQC Expectations
Through our training, events and consultancy, we support nurses and providers to align practice with CQC standards, NHS CHC guidance and legal frameworks.
Our aim is to help you reduce risk, strengthen documentation, improve communication and deliver care that is consistently safe, effective and person-centred.
Detailed Breakdown of CHC Nurses Agency Network Services
Transitions in Healthcare & Community-Based Discharge Support
We recognise that transitions of care – such as hospital discharge, step-down placements or moves between providers – are high-risk points for patients.
Through training and shared resources, we support CHC nurses to create safe, structured transition plans that prioritise clinical safety, patient comfort, timely communication and continuity of care.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Assurance Support
While we are a network rather than a formal inspection body, we guide nurses and organisations on what to expect from CQC and quality assurance processes within CHC and community care.
Our sessions explore documentation standards, care planning, risk management and governance, helping you identify and address gaps before formal review or inspection.
Learning Disabilities: Person-Centred Care & Support Planning
We share best practice and provide guidance for developing person-centred care plans for individuals with learning disabilities, especially in CHC and community settings.
The focus is on promoting independence, dignity, communication, choice and safeguarding, while ensuring care remains tailored to each person’s needs and preferences.
CHC & Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Training
Our training content helps nurses understand CHC eligibility criteria, assessment documentation, review processes and the interface with community DoL applications.
We support members to build accurate, defensible clinical rationales, navigate complex cases and work effectively with MDTs, local authorities and ICBs.
Hosting & Participating in CHC Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in webinars, workshops, seminars and informal meet-ups covering key topics in Continuing Healthcare and community nursing.
These events help members stay up to date with policy changes, case law developments, national guidance and frontline best practices, while also offering excellent networking opportunities.
Case Management Support & Peer Discussion
We do not replace statutory case management services, but we offer peer-to-peer discussion and guidance on complex CHC case management issues, documentation and care coordination.
Our network helps nurses think through holistic care plans, MDT working, family communication and long-term support strategies that promote clinical safety, wellbeing and quality of life.
Career Development & Professional Growth for CHC Nurses
Through ongoing education, mentorship, networking and sharing of opportunities, we help nurses progress in CHC assessment roles, agency leadership, case management and advanced practice.
Members can gain insight into career pathways, portfolio-building, interview preparation and strategies to develop specialist CHC expertise.
