CHC Nurses Agency Network: The UK Community for Continuing Healthcare Nurses

Connecting, Supporting and Developing CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK

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 CHC nurses together, provide specialist training, and offer expert support so you can thrive professionally while delivering safe, person-centred care.

Only nurses truly understand the realities of nursing – the pressure, responsibility and emotional demands. Our private network gives CHC agency nurses a safe, supportive space to share experiences, gain knowledge and build lasting professional relationships.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK. Through confidential, invite‑only social media groups and regular events, we help nurses:

  • Build meaningful professional and social connections with other CHC nurses
  • Share CHC knowledge, resources and real‑world practice tips 24/7/365
  • Access specialist CPD training on CHC processes and best practice
  • Discuss professional issues in a safe, supportive environment
  • Reduce isolation often felt by agency and community‑based nurses

Many members of our network become long‑term friends and colleagues, supporting each other through the challenges and rewards of CHC nursing.

Core Services Offered by CHC Nurses Agency Network

1. Specialist Community & Peer Support for CHC Nurses

At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our strong, supportive community. We host private, moderated, invite‑only social media groups where CHC agency nurses can speak openly, ask questions and share up‑to‑date information about Continuing Healthcare practice and policy.

From discussing complex cases (in a confidential, anonymised way) to sharing documentation tips and work–life balance strategies, our peer network helps you feel less alone and more confident in your CHC role.

2. CHC Training and Education for Agency Nurses

We provide focused education for nurses working in, or moving into, Continuing Healthcare roles. Our CHC training supports you to understand the full CHC pathway and work safely and effectively in community and complex care settings.

Key topics covered include:

  • Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility and criteria
  • Completing CHC assessments and Decision Support Tools (DSTs)
  • CHC care planning and risk management in community settings
  • Documentation standards, professional accountability and governance
  • Working effectively with CCGs/ICBs, case managers and MDTs

Whether you are new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced CHC nurse looking to update your skills, our sessions focus on practical, real‑world learning you can use immediately.

3. Training on CHC & Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Application Process

Navigating CHC and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes can be complex and high‑risk. Our specialist training breaks down the legal and clinical requirements into clear, step‑by‑step guidance for nurses.

Our CHC and Community DoL training typically covers:

  • Key legal frameworks and current guidance around deprivation of liberty
  • Identifying when a DoL may be occurring in community or CHC settings
  • Application, authorisation and review processes in community care
  • Documenting best interests, capacity and restrictions safely and lawfully
  • Working effectively with local authorities, CHC teams and safeguarding

This training improves compliance, protects patients’ rights and supports nurses to feel confident when managing complex liberty and consent issues.

4. CHC‑Focused Events, Workshops and Networking

We run regular online and in‑person events specifically for CHC agency nurses. These events are designed to combine learning, networking and wellbeing in a relaxed environment where nurses can be themselves.

Our CHC events include:

  • CHC education evenings and webinars
  • Best‑practice workshops on assessments, documentation and governance
  • Panel discussions with experienced CHC professionals
  • Informal meet‑ups and social gatherings for our members

Attending our events helps you stay current with CHC developments, grow your professional network and feel part of a wider community of specialist nurses.

5. Expert CHC Case Management Support and Consultancy

Alongside our community and training offer, CHC Nurses Agency Network provides expert support around CHC case management and complex community packages.

Our experienced CHC professionals can offer guidance on:

  • Co‑ordinating safe, person‑centred care packages in the community
  • Escalating concerns and safeguarding issues appropriately
  • Working effectively with CHC case managers and commissioners
  • Balancing clinical risk with independence, choice and dignity

We help nurses and organisations streamline CHC processes, improve communication and ultimately deliver better outcomes for people with complex health needs.
