CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Specialist Partner in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training, Support & Community

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations for Better Patient Outcomes

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, professional consultancy, peer support and networking to improve decision-making, patient advocacy and quality of care.

Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the unique pressures of CHC work – tight timescales, complex assessments, funding disputes and high expectations from commissioners and families. We help you stay compliant, confident and up to date, while also providing a safe space to connect with colleagues who truly understand your role.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing UK-wide community of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, case management and complex care.

We provide:

  • Specialist CHC training and professional development for agency nurses and healthcare staff
  • Expert consultancy and support on CHC eligibility, assessments and appeals
  • Private, invite-only social media groups for confidential peer discussion and support
  • Regular CHC-focused events, workshops and webinars for networking and learning
  • Guidance for organisations on CHC processes, compliance and best practice

Our mission is simple: to raise standards in Continuing Healthcare, support nurses in demanding CHC roles, and ultimately deliver better outcomes for patients and their families.

Relax, Connect and Grow: A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

A Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses to Connect

Working as an agency nurse in CHC can be isolating – especially when you move frequently between Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), ICBs, local authorities, care homes and community teams. Our network offers a reliable professional home wherever you are based.

Inside our private CHC social media groups, nurses can:

  • Share real-world CHC issues in a safe, confidential environment
  • Ask questions about CHC eligibility, DSTs, MDTs and reviews
  • Exchange templates, examples and practical tips for assessments and care planning
  • Discuss policy changes, ICB variations and national guidance
  • Give and receive emotional support from colleagues who understand the pressures of CHC work

Many nurses in our community form long-lasting friendships and professional partnerships, helping each other navigate new contracts, roles and challenges over many years.

24/7/365 Professional Peer Support

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stays connected through multiple invite-only, confidential social media groups. Whether you’re working days, nights or weekends, there is always someone online who understands your world.

We encourage open, respectful discussion around:

  • Complex CHC eligibility decisions and case examples
  • Preparing for, contributing to and documenting Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meetings
  • Managing family expectations and difficult conversations
  • Handling decision support tool (DST) scoring and rationales
  • Professional boundaries, resilience and work-life balance in CHC roles

Regular CHC Events, Webinars and Meet-Ups

We run regular in-person and online events to bring our CHC nursing community together. These sessions are designed to be relaxed, practical and highly relevant to current CHC practice.

Our events help you:

  • Stay current with NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, policy updates and ICB guidance
  • Learn from experienced CHC practitioners, legal experts and specialist trainers
  • Build your professional network with other CHC agency nurses across the UK
  • Discuss real cases, common pitfalls and best-practice approaches
  • Develop your confidence and competence in all aspects of CHC work
