CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Training, Community & Consultancy
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community and consultancy service for nurses and healthcare providers working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care pathways.
We bring together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals to share knowledge, access expert training, and receive specialist support in CHC assessments, funding, compliance, and personalised care planning.
Our mission is to make working in CHC safer, easier, and more rewarding—by combining professional development, peer support, and expert consultancy for both individual nurses and healthcare organisations.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Private, Safe Space for CHC Nurses to Connect
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional impact of working in CHC and complex care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a confidential, invite-only community where nurses can talk openly, seek advice, and support one another.
Members of our network join private social media groups and online spaces to discuss CHC cases, share best practice, and learn from peers who face the same challenges every day.
Many of our members become long-term friends and professional contacts, staying connected for years.
24/7 Peer Support and Knowledge Sharing
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses is active 24-7-365, sharing professional issues, questions, resources, and updates relevant to Continuing Healthcare practice.
Whether you need a second opinion on a CHC Decision Support Tool (DST), want to better understand eligibility criteria, or simply need moral support after a tough shift, the network is there for you.
By joining CHC Nurses Agency Network, you become part of a trusted, experienced community committed to improving CHC standards and patient outcomes across the UK.
Specialist CHC Training for Nursing Professionals
Practical Training in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
The CHC process is complex, time-consuming, and high risk if done incorrectly.
Our CHC training programmes for nurses and healthcare teams are designed to build confidence and competence in:
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and National Framework guidance
- Completing the Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) accurately
- Evidence gathering, documentation, and clinical reasoning
- Care planning, case management, and funding pathways
- Appeals, reviews, and dispute resolution
We focus on real-world scenarios, case studies, and practical tips so that nurses can apply learning immediately in practice.
Tailored Courses for All Levels of CHC Experience
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner looking to update your knowledge, our training can be tailored to your role, organisation, and level of expertise.
We support agency nurses, CHC assessors, case managers, and wider multidisciplinary teams.
Sessions can be delivered online or in person and are suitable for individual nurses, agencies, and healthcare providers looking to strengthen their CHC capability.
Expert Trainers with Frontline CHC Experience
Our trainers are seasoned CHC clinicians with extensive experience in Continuing Healthcare assessments, commissioning, and regulatory compliance.
We ensure all content is aligned with the latest NHS England National Framework, local policies, and evolving best practice.
This means your training is always up-to-date, evidence-based, and practically useful for day-to-day CHC work.
Consultancy Services for CHC Providers and Healthcare Organisations
CHC and Pre-CQC Readiness Reviews
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections and ensuring your CHC processes are robust can be challenging.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy and audit services to help healthcare providers strengthen their CHC governance, documentation, and care quality.
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants can review:
- CHC assessment processes and documentation quality
- Policies and procedures related to CHC and complex care
- Care planning, risk management, and escalation pathways
- Staff knowledge, training needs, and competency
- Evidence required to demonstrate safe, effective care to regulators
Actionable Feedback and Implementation Support
Following a review, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to improve compliance, consistency, and quality of care.
Our team can support you to implement changes, embed best practice, and prepare your organisation for inspections and external scrutiny.
The outcome is a stronger, safer CHC service with improved outcomes for patients, families, and staff.
Supporting Safe Transitions and Personalised Care
Transitions such as moving from hospital to home, care home to community, or social care to CHC funding can be complex and high risk.
We support organisations and nurses to plan and manage these transitions safely.
Person-Centred Transition Planning
Our approach is always person-centred, respecting the individual’s needs, preferences, and goals.
We assist with personalised care planning, risk assessments, and communication with families and wider multidisciplinary teams to minimise disruption and promote continuity of care.
This helps reduce avoidable hospital admissions, safeguard vulnerable individuals, and improve overall patient satisfaction.
Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) in CHC
Many people with learning disabilities (LD) require complex health and social care support and may be eligible for CHC funding.
We help organisations and nurses develop tailored, person-centred care and support plans that promote independence and dignity.
Evidence-Based, Person-Centred Practice
Using current best practice and research, we focus on holistic care that balances safety with autonomy and quality of life.
We work collaboratively with families, carers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure that CHC-funded packages of care are well-designed, safe, and truly meet the person’s needs.
Events, Workshops, and Ongoing Professional Development
Regular CHC Networking Events and Community Meet-Ups
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events to bring our community of nurses together.
These events are a chance to relax, connect with colleagues, and share real-life experiences of working in CHC and complex care.
Our members regularly keep in touch between events, building long-term professional networks and friendships that support their careers for years.

- Updates to the NHS Continuing Healthcare National Framework
- How to complete high-quality DSTs and checklists
- Managing complex cases and risk in the community
- Working effectively with CHC teams, ICBs, and commissioners
