CHC Nurses Agency Network | Empowering UK Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional community and consultancy dedicated to supporting agency nurses, CHC nurses, and healthcare providers working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community settings. We bring together specialist nurses, trainers, and case management professionals to help you develop your career, improve patient outcomes, and stay compliant with UK healthcare regulations.
As practicing and former agency nurses ourselves, we understand the realities of frontline work—long shifts, complex caseloads, pressure to perform, and the challenge of staying up to date with CHC frameworks and CQC expectations. That’s why our network combines expert training, consultancy, and a supportive peer community designed specifically for CHC agency nurses across the UK.
About the CHC Agency Nurses Network
The CHC Agency Nurses Network is more than just a training provider—it is a professional support hub where nurses can relax, connect, and learn from each other. Our private, invite-only social media groups and online communities are active 24/7/365, with over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals sharing knowledge, experience, and peer-to-peer support.
We host regular events, webinars, and meet-ups to bring our network together in a safe, supportive environment. Many agency nurses who join our network build strong personal and professional relationships that last for years. If you are an agency nurse working in CHC—or looking to enter the CHC field—our network is designed to support your growth, wellbeing, and professional development.
Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Planning
Safe and well-planned transitions of care are essential in CHC and community nursing, especially when moving patients between hospital, home, and care settings. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides guidance, training, and peer support to help nurses and providers manage complex transfers confidently and safely.
We help you understand and implement best practice for hospital discharge, home care setup, and multi-agency coordination, supporting person-centred transitions that protect patient safety, rights, and dignity.
Expert Support During CHC Transitions
Through our network and consultancy support, CHC nurses can access practical advice on managing complex discharges, liaising with MDTs, and ensuring that CHC-eligible individuals receive the right package of care in the right setting.
We focus on reducing risk, supporting carers and families, and ensuring continuity of care so that transitions are as smooth and safe as possible for both staff and patients.
Pre-CQC Preparation, CHC Quality & Compliance Support
For providers and agency teams working in CHC, being prepared for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections is crucial. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers advisory support and training to help you align your practice with CQC standards and NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks.
We review key areas such as care planning, documentation, risk assessments, MCA/DoLS/Community DoL understanding, and governance, and provide practical tips to help agency nurses and managers demonstrate safe, effective, and person-centred CHC care.
Achieve CQC & CHC Inspection Confidence
Our guidance helps you build confidence in your clinical records, decision-making, and evidence of good practice—so when quality visits or audits occur, you and your team feel prepared, informed, and compliant.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs Care
Person-Centred Care & Support Planning in CHC
Many CHC packages involve individuals with learning disabilities (LD), autism, or complex physical and mental health needs. Our network includes specialist nurses with experience in LD nursing and complex community care, who share best practice and resources to support agency nurses working in these environments.
We promote person-centred support planning, ensuring that independence, choice, dignity, and communication needs are at the heart of every care plan, in line with CHC and equality legislation.
Enhancing Quality of Life for People with LD
Through shared guidance, case discussions, and training opportunities, we help CHC agency nurses to use evidence-based approaches that improve quality of life, promote positive risk-taking, and respect each person’s preferences and rights.
CHC Training & Professional Development for Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoL Application Training
Our tailored CHC training programmes help agency nurses and care professionals understand and apply the NHS Continuing Healthcare National Framework and Community DoL processes in real-world practice.
We cover key topics such as CHC checklist completion, Decision Support Tool (DST) understanding, eligibility criteria, panel preparation, funding pathways, and deprivation of liberty safeguards in the community.
Build Confidence, Competence & Compliance
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, our learning opportunities help agency nurses feel more confident in assessments, documentation, and advocating for patients, while also supporting providers to maintain regulatory compliance and robust CHC practice.
CHC Events, Webinars & Knowledge Sharing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly runs online events, workshops, and networking sessions that focus on current developments in Continuing Healthcare, including policy changes, legal updates, and best practice in community care.
Attending our events enables CHC agency nurses to stay up to date, share case experiences, and learn from peers and subject matter experts across the country.
Case Management, Coordination & Advocacy in CHC
Person-Centred Care Coordination & Case Management Support
Although we are not a direct case management company, many members of our network work as or alongside CHC case managers, coordinators, and specialist nurses. Through our community, we share practical strategies for coordinating multi-agency teams, managing complex caseloads, and supporting CHC-funded individuals in the community.
Our shared resources and discussions help agency nurses better understand case management processes, escalation routes, commissioning pathways, and how to advocate effectively for patients and families within the CHC system.
Supporting Better Outcomes for CHC Patients & Families
By connecting with peers who have extensive CHC experience, agency nurses gain insight into how to improve communication, resolve issues proactively, and promote independence and quality of life for those with CHC funding.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
One of the biggest advantages of joining the CHC Nurses Agency Network is access to our confidential, invite-only social media groups. Here, more than 500 CHC agency nurses share:

These groups are moderated to remain professional, respectful, and confidential, creating a safe space for agency nurses to talk openly with colleagues who truly understand their work.
