CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses


CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses

Supporting CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Consultancy & a Strong Professional Network

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare organisations. We combine expert CHC training, compliance consultancy, and an active peer-support network to help nurses deliver safe, effective and person-centred care while navigating complex commissioning, funding and regulatory systems.

As experienced CHC professionals, we understand the realities of agency work: shifting environments, demanding caseloads and the pressure of maintaining high standards of practice. Our mission is to make your professional life easier by providing practical education, confidential support, and a trusted community of colleagues who truly understand the challenges of CHC nursing.

A Dedicated Community for CHC & Agency Nurses

A Safe Space to Connect, Share & Relax

The CHC Agency Nurses Network is a place where CHC and agency nurses can connect, decompress and share real-world experiences. Only another nurse fully understands the pressures of complex discharge planning, fast-track cases, eligibility disputes and the emotional load that comes with CHC practice — and our network gives you that understanding 24/7.

We host regular online and in-person events so that members can meet, talk openly and build relationships beyond the workplace. Many of our members stay in touch daily through our private groups, and the friendships formed in the network often last for years.

Private Social Media Groups for CHC Agency Nurses

We manage several confidential, invite-only social media groups with around 500 Continuing Healthcare agency nursing professionals across the UK. These groups are active 24-7-365, where members:

  • Ask for clinical and CHC process advice in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.
  • Share best practice, resources and policy updates related to NHS Continuing Healthcare.
  • Discuss agency work issues, contracts, working conditions and professional boundaries.
  • Support each other through stress, burnout, and challenging cases.

We openly encourage honest, professional discussion while maintaining confidentiality and safeguarding standards at all times.

Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Nurses

Practical CHC Training to Build Confidence & Competence

Keeping up to date with NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, eligibility criteria and funding rules is essential for nurses working in community, hospital and commissioning settings. Our CHC training for agency nurses and wider teams is designed to translate policy into everyday practice.

Our training programmes cover:

  • CHC eligibility assessments – understanding the National Framework, primary health need and decision-making support tools.
  • Fast-track CHC – end-of-life pathways, rapid decisions and managing complex, time-sensitive discharges.
  • Care planning and reviews – robust documentation, evidence gathering and multi-disciplinary working.
  • Funding and commissioning processes – how packages of care are set up, commissioned and reviewed.
  • Legal and ethical considerations – advocacy, consent, capacity and safeguarding within CHC context.

All sessions are delivered by experienced CHC nurses and practitioners who understand the realities of frontline practice and agency work.

Tailored CHC Courses for Agencies & Healthcare Providers

We work with nursing agencies, care homes, domiciliary care providers and NHS teams to design bespoke CHC training packages that meet their specific needs. Whether you are introducing CHC concepts to new staff or deepening existing expertise for senior nurses, we create interactive, case-based learning experiences aligned with your service model and regulatory requirements.

This tailored approach ensures your team can apply CHC knowledge confidently in practice, supporting safe discharges, accurate assessments, person-centred care plans and improved outcomes for people with complex needs.

CHC Consultancy & Compliance Support for Organisations

Pre-CQC & Quality Assurance Support

For agencies and providers working heavily in CHC-funded care, CQC compliance and robust clinical governance are critical. Our consultancy team offers pre-CQC assessments and quality reviews focusing on CHC processes, clinical documentation and care planning standards.

We can:

  • Review your policies, procedures and records related to CHC and complex care.
  • Identify gaps in compliance with CQC and NHS Continuing Healthcare requirements.
  • Provide action plans, templates and practical tools to strengthen practice.
  • Offer ongoing support to embed changes and maintain improvements.

Our aim is to help you feel prepared and confident for inspections while genuinely improving care quality and clinical safety for your CHC caseload.

Service Development & CHC Practice Improvement

Beyond inspections, we support organisations to develop sustainable, high-quality CHC services. This includes:

  • Designing and refining CHC care pathways and referral processes.
  • Strengthening multidisciplinary working between agencies, commissioners and providers.
  • Improving documentation, risk assessments and support plans for CHC-funded individuals.
  • Building staff skills and confidence through coaching, mentoring and reflective practice.

With our support, your organisation can reduce the risk of non-compliance, enhance patient experience and develop a reputation for excellence in Continuing Healthcare.

Support for Complex Needs & Learning Disabilities

Person-Centred Support Plans for CHC & LD Cases

Many CHC packages of care involve individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, neurological conditions and other complex needs. We provide guidance and consultancy on developing holistic, person-centred support plans that promote independence, safety and dignity.

Working alongside nurses, families and wider MDT members, we help you build plans that address:

  • Daily living skills and independence goals.
  • Communication preferences and behaviour support.
  • Health action plans, medications and clinical interventions.
  • Risk management, safeguarding and positive risk-taking.

Improving Quality of Life in CHC-Funded Care

Our approach is based on evidence-based practice and the principles of inclusion, choice and control. We support CHC agency nurses and providers to deliver care that enables people with learning disabilities and complex needs to live fulfilling, meaningful lives while maintaining high standards of safety and clinical oversight.

Events, Networking & Ongoing Professional Development

CHC Community Events, Webinars & Workshops

The CHC Nurses Agency Network organises regular events designed to bring our community together and keep members updated on key developments in Continuing Healthcare and agency nursing. These include:

  • Live and online webinars and workshops on CHC frameworks, case law and policy changes.
  • Networking events for CHC agency nurses, managers and clinical leads.
  • Peer-support sessions focusing on wellbeing, resilience and work–life balance.

These events are a valuable opportunity to build connections, share knowledge and develop your CHC career in a supportive environment.

Case Discussion & Peer Learning

Through our network, nurses can bring real-life CHC cases (anonymised as appropriate) to discuss with peers and learn from each other’s experiences. This collaborative approach helps you:

  • Refine your clinical reasoning and decision-making skills.
  • Improve documentation and evidence gathering for CHC assessments.
  • Stay on top of best practice and emerging trends in Continuing Healthcare.
