CHC Nurses Agency Network | UK Continuing Healthcare Nurses Community & Training
The Leading UK Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Training & Professional Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK. We connect nursing professionals, provide expert CHC training and guidance, and support organisations to deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network is designed to make professional life easier, reduce isolation and stress, and share real-world expertise on CHC assessments, care planning, CQC readiness and complex case management. Whether you work independently, through an agency, or for a provider organisation, our network gives you access to knowledge, support and a like‑minded CHC community.
With an active core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we run regular events, share updates 24/7/365 via private invite‑only social media groups, and provide tailored consultancy and training to healthcare providers and commissioners.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community, training provider and consultancy focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare and community-based complex care. It is a place to connect, learn, relax and grow your career with fellow CHC‑experienced nurses who truly understand the realities of practice.
Our members share professional issues, case experiences and practical solutions in a confidential, supportive environment. Many nurses in our network develop strong friendships and professional collaborations that last for years, helping each other navigate shifts, agencies, commissioners and evolving CHC frameworks.
We also work directly with care providers, agencies, CHC teams and social care organisations to improve CHC processes, compliance and patient outcomes through targeted training and consultancy.
Core Services & Support for CHC Nurses and Providers
CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Teams
We deliver targeted Continuing Healthcare training to agency nurses, independent practitioners and provider organisations across the UK. Our programmes cover CHC eligibility, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, robust evidence gathering, care planning and funding application processes.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who translate policy into practical, real‑world skills. Sessions can be tailored for agencies, care homes, domiciliary providers or multidisciplinary teams to ensure up‑to‑date, compliant and person‑centred practice.
CHC Consultancy & Compliance Support for Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist consultancy to healthcare providers and agencies seeking to strengthen their CHC provision and regulatory compliance. We review care documentation, CHC processes, risk management and governance to identify gaps and opportunities for improvement.
Our consultancy helps organisations prepare for CQC inspections, respond effectively to CHC reviews, and embed best practice in complex care delivery. We can also support you with policy development, staff training plans and ongoing quality improvement initiatives.
Specialist Support Areas
Transitions in Healthcare & Community CHC Pathways
Supporting Safe Transitions Between Hospital, Home and Community Care
Transitions between care settings – such as hospital to home with CHC funding – can be high‑risk and stressful for patients, families and staff. Our network supports providers and nurses to plan and deliver safe, well‑coordinated transitions that protect continuity of care and clinical safety.
We advise on discharge planning, CHC pathway navigation, communication with commissioners, risk assessments and personalised care plans that reflect changing needs across the transition period.
Pre-CQC Preparation & Quality Assurance
Helping You Get CHC and Complex Care Services Inspection-Ready
We support providers offering CHC-funded and complex community care to prepare for CQC inspections and local quality reviews. Our pre‑CQC support includes mock inspections, documentation audits, staff interviews and action plans aligned with regulatory expectations.
By identifying issues in advance and strengthening systems, we help you reduce inspection stress, demonstrate good governance, and show clear evidence of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services.
Personalised Care & Support Plans for Learning Disabilities
Embedding Dignity, Independence and Safety in CHC-Funded LD Care
Many CHC‑funded packages involve people with learning disabilities and complex needs. We support nurses and organisations to develop person-centred care and support plans that prioritise choice, control, dignity and independence while managing clinical risk.
Our approach combines evidence-based practice, positive behaviour support, communication strategies and family involvement to promote quality of life and safe community living.
CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Building Confidence in CHC, MCA and DoLS in the Community
We provide focused training on the CHC application process, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) processes, enabling nurses to work lawfully and ethically in complex community settings.
Our training helps staff understand eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, best interest decision‑making and interface with local authorities and CHC teams, ensuring compliance and robust advocacy for individuals.
CHC-Focused Events, Webinars & Professional Networking
Bringing the CHC Nursing Community Together
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events bringing CHC nurses together to share knowledge, discuss challenging cases and stay updated on policy changes and best practice.
Workshops, webinars, networking events and informal meet‑ups allow members to learn, de‑stress and build lasting professional relationships with colleagues who truly understand the pressures and rewards of CHC nursing.
Expert CHC Case Management Support
Guidance for Complex CHC Packages and Multidisciplinary Coordination
Our experienced CHC nurses offer expert case management guidance for individuals with complex health needs, including package setup, review and ongoing coordination between agencies, therapists, GPs and CHC teams.
We focus on holistic care planning, clinical risk management, family engagement and efficient use of resources to promote safe, sustainable and person‑centred CHC packages in the community.
Our Private CHC Agency Nurses Community
Confidential, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our set of private, invite‑only social media groups where over 500 CHC agency nurses and professionals connect daily. These groups are a safe space to discuss professional issues, agency work, CHC queries and real‑world challenges.
We welcome new CHC agency nurses to join our community, get access to peer support, shared resources and up‑to‑date CHC insights, and start building long‑term professional relationships and friendships.
