CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community
Connecting CHC Nurses and Healthcare Organisations Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses, and healthcare organisations seeking expert support, networking, and high-quality training.
We understand the complex demands of CHC nursing, from assessments and care planning to multidisciplinary working and regulatory compliance, and we exist to make that journey easier, better informed, and more connected.
Through our specialist network, we support nurses, care providers, and NHS/independent organisations to improve CHC practice, enhance care quality, and strengthen professional resilience.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, supportive community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share expertise, opportunities, and real-world advice 24/7 via confidential invite-only social media groups and regular events.
It is a place to relax, connect, and grow where nurses can speak openly with colleagues who truly understand the pressures and responsibilities of CHC nursing and agency work.
Many of our members go on to build long-term professional relationships and friendships, gaining a trusted support network that lasts for years.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
As any nurse knows, only another nurse really understands the emotional, mental, and physical demands of the role, especially in the complex world of Continuing Healthcare.
Our network brings together CHC specialists who regularly share professional issues, case experiences, and best practice advice in a safe, confidential space.
We welcome new members into our CHC Agency Nurses Network and invite them to join our private online groups, discussions, and events to feel supported from day one.
Our Key Services for CHC Nurses and Organisations
1. CHC Transitions Support & Care Coordination
Care transitions are some of the most challenging points in a patient’s journey, especially for those eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network connects organisations with experienced CHC nurses who understand the complexities of moving people safely between hospital, home, community, and long-term placements.
Our professionals support person-centred transition plans that reduce risk, promote continuity of care, and help ensure that CHC funding and care packages are applied appropriately and effectively.
2. Pre-CQC Compliance Support for CHC-Related Services
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be particularly demanding for providers delivering CHC-funded care or complex packages.
Through our network of expert CHC nurses and consultants, organisations can access guidance on policies, documentation, risk management, and care planning aligned with CQC expectations.
This helps providers to identify gaps, strengthen quality assurance, and demonstrate safe, effective, and well-led CHC-related services ahead of inspection.
3. Personalised Learning Disabilities (LD) CHC Care & Support Planning
Many CHC-eligible adults and children have Learning Disabilities (LD) and highly individualised needs that require a person-centred, strengths-based approach.
Our network brings together CHC nurses with specialist experience in LD, who understand how to design and implement complex care plans that promote independence, dignity, and safety.
Using evidence-based practice and collaborative working with families and multidisciplinary teams, our members help support quality of life and robust risk management for people with LD under CHC or joint-funding arrangements.
4. Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Care Teams
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers access to specialist CHC training designed for agency nurses, registered nurses, case managers, and wider health and social care professionals across the UK.
Our courses typically cover:
- NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility criteria and the National Framework
- Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) completion and best practice
- Care planning, complex needs assessment, and multidisciplinary working
- Funding processes, appeals, reviews, and legal considerations
- Documentation, risk management, and regulatory compliance
Training is delivered by experienced CHC professionals to ensure content is practical, up to date, and aligned with current guidance and case law.
5. CHC Events, Workshops & Professional Networking
We run regular CHC events and workshops aimed at building knowledge, confidence, and professional networks across the CHC sector.
Our seminars and online sessions cover key topics such as eligibility changes, policy updates, complex case scenarios, appeals, and best practice in community-based CHC care.
These events give nurses and organisations the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences, and stay ahead of emerging CHC trends and guidance.
6. CHC Case Management and Complex Care Coordination
Effective CHC case management is essential for person-centred, safe, and cost-effective care, particularly for individuals with multiple or complex conditions.
Through our network, organisations can connect with skilled CHC nurses and case managers who understand commissioning, package design, risk assessment, and multi-agency collaboration.
Our professionals support robust documentation, clear communication, and coordinated care planning to improve outcomes and maintain regulatory and contractual compliance.
Why Healthcare Professionals Choose the CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a database of nurses – it is a specialist community and resource hub for everyone involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare.
We exist to support both individual nurses and care organisations, bringing together expertise, peer support, and practical tools for safer, higher-quality CHC practice.
A Place to Relax, Share and Feel Understood
Agency nurses and CHC professionals often work under intense pressure and can feel isolated within their roles.
Our private, invite-only online groups provide a space where members can talk honestly about professional issues 24-7-365, knowing they are among peers who understand their daily realities.
Members frequently report that the network helps them feel less alone, more confident in their practice, and better equipped to manage the demands of CHC work.
Tailored Support for Diverse CHC Roles
We recognise that CHC practice looks different depending on whether you are a bedside nurse, case manager, assessor, agency nurse, care home nurse, or community practitioner.
Our training, events, and discussions are tailored to cover a broad range of CHC roles, helping members at every stage of their career – from those newly entering CHC to seasoned specialists.
Whether you are looking to build CHC expertise, explore new agency opportunities, or develop into case management or leadership roles, our network can support your progression.
Experienced CHC Professionals and Real-World Insight
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is made up of experienced CHC practitioners who bring practical, real-world knowledge from hospitals, CCGs/ICBs, community teams, care homes, and independent providers.
This means that our advice, shared resources, and peer support are grounded in everyday CHC practice rather than purely theory.
Members benefit from learning how other organisations, teams, and regions approach CHC challenges and how to apply that learning in their own roles.
Focused on Quality, Compliance and Professional Growth
We help organisations and nurses alike to understand and meet quality and compliance requirements related to CHC, including documentation, risk management, safeguarding, and CQC expectations.
At the same time, we encourage ongoing professional development through events, mentoring, and signposting to relevant courses and opportunities.
Our aim is to raise standards in CHC while supporting the wellbeing and resilience of the nurses who deliver it.
