CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Specialist UK Community & Consultancy for CHC Nurses
Connecting, Supporting and Developing Continuing Healthcare Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community and consultancy for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex community care. We bring together experienced CHC nurses, offer expert training, and provide tailored consultancy to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Our network makes working as an agency nurse in CHC less stressful and more rewarding. We focus on professional development, peer support and practical guidance so that nurses, case managers and healthcare organisations can navigate the complexities of CHC, Community DoLS, CQC regulation and learning disability care with confidence.
A Relaxed, Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a place to connect, relax and share experiences with nurses who truly understand the pressures of Continuing Healthcare and agency work.
Only another nurse really understands the emotional and physical demands of nursing, and this is especially true in CHC, where cases are often complex, sensitive and time-pressured. That is why we have built a close-knit professional network of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, who support each other 24/7 through invite-only and confidential social media groups.
We run regular events, meetups, online sessions and networking activities to bring our community together. Many nurses who join our network not only develop professionally, but also form friendships that last for many years.
New members are always welcome to join the CHC Nurses Agency Network to gain access to our private community groups, events and specialist resources designed specifically for Continuing Healthcare nurses.
Core Services Offered by CHC Nurses Agency Network
Specialist Training & Education for CHC and Community Nursing
CHC and Community DoLS Application Process Training
We deliver in-depth training on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), including eligibility criteria, CHC assessments, Decision Support Tools (DST), fast track pathways, funding decisions and CHC review processes.
Our courses also cover the Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) application process, helping nurses and organisations understand legal requirements, documentation, best interest decisions and how to maintain person-centred practice within the legal framework.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner looking to update your knowledge in line with current UK guidance and policy, our training ensures compliance, confidence and high standards of practice in CHC and Community DoLS.
Pre-CQC Assessments & Compliance Support
Preparing for a CQC inspection can be overwhelming for organisations providing CHC-funded or complex community care. We offer pre-CQC assessments that review your clinical governance, policies, care records, staffing practices and quality assurance systems.
Our expert consultants identify strengths and risks, then provide clear, actionable recommendations so that you can meet CQC’s fundamental standards, improve quality of care, and demonstrate robust, safe and person-centred services to regulators.
Safe Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Planning
Transitions such as hospital discharge to home, community placements or care homes are high-risk periods for patients and organisations. Our experienced CHC nurses provide practical guidance on discharge planning, continuity of care, communication and risk management.
We support teams to ensure that care packages are safe, sustainable and person-centred, reducing the risk of readmissions, safeguarding issues and avoidable deterioration during transitions between services.
Learning Disabilities (LD) Care & Support Planning
Our network includes specialists in learning disabilities (LD) and autism, who develop personalised support plans for individuals with complex needs, often funded via CHC or joint packages.
We work collaboratively with families, multidisciplinary teams and providers to create evidence-based, person-centred care plans that promote independence, dignity and safety, while respecting each individual’s communication style, preferences and unique risks.
Case Management, Advocacy & Consultancy
Expert Case Management for CHC Patients
Our skilled CHC case managers and senior nurses provide specialist case management services for adults and children with complex health needs within the Continuing Healthcare framework.
We coordinate multidisciplinary teams, develop and review care plans, oversee risk assessments and ensure that packages remain both clinically appropriate and person-centred, in line with legislation and national policy.
Supporting CHC Teams, Providers & Organisations
We support CHC teams, domiciliary care providers, nursing agencies and care homes to optimise their services, workforce and governance structures.
Our consultancy covers CHC process mapping, policy development, clinical audit, incident review, quality improvement projects and strategic advice to help organisations deliver safer, more efficient and compliant CHC-funded care.
Events, Networking & Knowledge Sharing
CHC-Focused Workshops, Webinars & Seminars
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular workshops, webinars, study days and networking events that focus specifically on Continuing Healthcare, Community DoLS, complex community nursing and regulatory standards.
Our events are designed to keep CHC nurses up-to-date with the latest policy changes, best practice guidance, case law developments and practical tools for safer practice, while also providing space to share challenges and learn from peers.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Membership of the CHC Nurses Agency Network includes access to private, invite-only social media groups where over 500 CHC professionals share advice, resources and real-world problem-solving around the clock.
This confidential online space allows nurses to discuss professional issues 24-7-365, including CHC assessments, difficult cases, clinical concerns, documentation and work–life balance, in a supportive and professional environment.
