CHC Nurses Agency Network – Continuing Healthcare Training, Consultancy & Community

Specialist CHC Support for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations Across the UK

Who We Are and What We Do

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist nursing consultancy and professional community dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We support agency nurses and healthcare providers with expert CHC training, consultancy, and peer-to-peer networking so they can deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.

From bespoke CHC training programmes and pre-CQC consultancy to case management support, care planning guidance and a thriving social network of CHC agency nurses, we help you build knowledge, confidence and long‑term professional connections.

A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses

Our network is a place where CHC agency nurses can relax, share experiences and get support from peers who truly understand the realities and pressures of nursing. Only another nurse understands the physical, emotional and professional demands that come with this role.

We bring our community together through regular online and in‑person events, private social media groups and ongoing peer support. Many nurses in our core network of around 500 CHC agency professionals stay in touch for years and form lasting friendships built on shared experience.

New members are warmly welcomed into our invite‑only social media groups and events, where professional issues, CHC queries and best practice are discussed openly 24‑7‑365 in a confidential, supportive environment.

Our Commitment to Quality, Compliance & Best Practice in CHC

At CHC Nurses Agency Network, quality and regulatory compliance sit at the heart of everything we offer. Our experienced CHC nurse consultants and trainers ensure all guidance and training aligns with current NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, CQC requirements and national best practice standards.

We help organisations and individual nurses stay inspection‑ready, strengthen clinical governance, improve patient safety and deliver consistently high‑quality care. Through targeted education, strategic consultancy and peer support, we empower CHC nurses to work confidently in complex and highly regulated environments.

Our CHC training courses are designed specifically for nurses and healthcare professionals who work in, or alongside, NHS Continuing Healthcare. We break down the complexities of CHC funding, assessments and reviews into clear, practical sessions that can be applied in real‑world practice.
