What Is CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive professional community and consultancy service designed specifically for nurses and healthcare professionals involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare and community-based complex care.

We provide a safe space to connect with like-minded CHC professionals, share practice issues 24/7, access specialist advice, attend CHC-focused events, and develop your career through targeted education and peer learning.

Our Core Services

CHC Professional Network & Community

A Safe, Supportive Space for CHC Agency Nurses

Our private CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a confidential environment where agency nurses and CHC professionals can discuss cases, share challenges and celebrate successes without judgement.

With invite-only social media groups, active 24-7-365, our members benefit from real-time peer support, practical advice and a strong sense of professional belonging.

We encourage networking, mentorship and collaboration so CHC nurses feel less isolated and more empowered in demanding roles.

CHC Training, Education & Professional Development

Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Teams

We provide focused training on NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, MDT meetings, dispute resolution, community DoLS applications and complex community care pathways.

Our courses are developed and delivered by experienced CHC nurses who understand current NHS frameworks, local commissioning practices and real-world practice issues.

Boost Confidence, Competence and Compliance

Training is practical, interactive and aligned with national CHC guidance, helping professionals to apply learning immediately in clinical and assessment settings.

We support nurses, care coordinators and managers to work confidently within CHC frameworks while maintaining person-centred, legally robust practice.

CHC Consultancy for Organisations

Advisory Support for CHC Providers and Commissioners

CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy to care providers, commissioners, case management companies and healthcare organisations operating in the CHC space.

We can review your CHC processes, documentation, governance and care pathways to identify gaps, risks and opportunities for improvement.

Improving Outcomes, Quality and Compliance

Our consultancy focuses on improving documentation quality, clinical oversight, MDT participation, risk management and regulatory alignment.

This helps organisations demonstrate robust CHC practice, support staff effectively and enhance outcomes for people with complex health needs living in the community.

Transitions in Care & Complex Case Support

Expert Guidance for Complex Care Transitions

Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and other community settings can be high-risk periods for individuals eligible for CHC funding.

Through our network and consultancy, we support safe, person-centred transitions that prioritise continuity of care, clear communication and effective coordination between all professionals involved.

Person-Centred Planning for High-Need CHC Cases

We promote person-centred care planning that reflects clinical, psychological and social needs for individuals with complex health conditions.

Our members share best practice, tools and templates to support safe community packages, crisis prevention and improved quality of life.

Learning Disability (LD) & Complex Needs Support

CHC and LD Expertise

Many of our network members have extensive experience working with adults with learning disabilities, autism and co-existing health needs who are eligible for CHC or joint-funded care.

We encourage evidence-based, rights-focused and person-centred approaches to LD care within Continuing Healthcare frameworks.

Promoting Safety, Dignity and Independence

Our collective expertise supports the development of safe care plans, appropriate positive behaviour support, and inclusive community living for people with learning disabilities and complex needs.

We share guidance on risk enablement, capacity and consent, advocacy and working effectively with families, local authorities and multi-disciplinary teams.
