CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Professional support, CHC training and consultancy for UK Continuing Healthcare professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and complex care across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and case management with a strong peer network so agency nurses, case managers and healthcare organisations can deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
A Professional Network Designed by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
A supportive CHC community where agency nurses can relax and connect
Only another nurse truly understands the realities of frontline nursing and the pressures of CHC and complex care work.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, friendly space to share experiences, ask clinical or professional questions and access peer support 24/7, 365 days a year.
Private social media groups for confidential professional discussion
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
Members openly share professional issues, discuss CHC assessments, funding queries, care planning and regulatory changes in a supportive, non-judgemental environment.
Building long-term professional relationships and friendships
Many nurses within our CHC network build strong professional relationships that often grow into lasting friendships.
We welcome new members into our community to join our private groups and regular virtual and in-person networking events.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Teams
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training and development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers specialist training programmes focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, CHC assessments, Decision Support Tools (DST), and review processes.
Our CHC courses are designed to build confidence, improve documentation quality and help nurses navigate the complexities of CHC funding and criteria.
Training in complex care, funding and legal frameworks
We help agency nurses and multidisciplinary teams understand the legal and regulatory frameworks underpinning CHC, including the National Framework, Mental Capacity Act and best interests decision-making.
Training also covers risk management, safeguarding, best-interest meetings, complex discharge planning and working effectively with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) and local authorities.
Staying up to date with CHC policy and practice
CHC policy, guidance and local commissioning approaches are constantly evolving.
Our live training sessions, webinars and resources ensure nurses remain current with the latest CHC criteria, documentation standards and best practice in person-centred assessment and care planning.
CHC Consultancy Services for Healthcare Organisations
Pre-CQC support and quality assurance in CHC and complex care
We work with providers, agencies and community services to review CHC-related policies, documentation and care delivery ahead of Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections.
Our consultants carry out focused pre-CQC audits and provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen governance, clinical outcomes and regulatory compliance.
Support with CHC processes and commissioning relationships
The CHC Nurses Agency Network helps organisations understand and streamline their CHC pathways, including referrals, checklists, full assessments, reviews and appeals.
We support better collaboration with ICB CHC teams, local authorities and hospitals to reduce delays, disputes and fragmented care.
Developing person-centred support plans for complex needs
Our CHC nurses and consultants assist with creating robust, person-centred care and support plans for individuals with complex physical health needs, learning disabilities, autism and mental health conditions.
We prioritise dignity, independence, communication and quality of life, while ensuring risk is well managed and documentation meets CHC and CQC expectations.
Events, Webinars and Workshops for CHC Nurses
Regular CHC networking events and study days
We run regular online and in-person events bringing together CHC nurses, agency staff, case managers and clinical leads.
These events provide opportunities to network, share case studies and explore real-world challenges in Continuing Healthcare and community provision.
Learning from peers and CHC experts
Our workshops and webinars focus on practical CHC topics such as writing strong DSTs, preparing for panels, managing fast-track funding, and supporting families through the CHC process.
Nurses gain practical tools, templates and strategies they can apply immediately in clinical practice.
Keeping pace with CHC trends and regulatory change
We monitor developments in national CHC policy, case law and local implementation so our community receives timely updates and clear explanations.
By attending our events, nurses stay ahead of regulatory changes and improve both care quality and documentation for CHC reviews and audits.
Specialist CHC Case Management and Person-Centred Care
Personalised case management for complex Continuing Healthcare cases
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides expert nurse-led case management to support individuals with complex, long-term health needs who are eligible for, or seeking, NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Our case managers coordinate across agencies, advocate for individuals and families, and ensure care packages are safe, appropriate and truly person-centred.
Holistic support for individuals and families
We recognise that CHC is as much about emotional support and communication as it is about clinical care.
Our approach focuses on holistic outcomes, promoting independence, choice and well-being while ensuring all clinical, legal and regulatory requirements are met.
