CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based specialist network and consultancy dedicated to supporting agency nurses, healthcare professionals and providers working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care settings.
We combine professional training, expert CHC consultancy and a strong peer-support community to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Our network connects over 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals through private, invite-only groups and regular events.
We help nurses build professional contacts, navigate complex CHC processes, stay updated on regulations and develop long-term careers in CHC and community nursing.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Professional Community and Support Hub for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive space where agency nurses can relax, share experiences and access expert guidance on CHC practice, assessments and care planning.
Only nurses truly understand the pressures of nursing, and our network offers a safe place to discuss professional issues 24/7/365 with peers who “get it”.
Through confidential, invite-only social media groups and online forums, our members ask questions, share resources, and support each other with real-world challenges in CHC and community care.
Many members form strong friendships and maintain long-term professional connections that benefit their careers and wellbeing.
Events, Networking and Career Development
We run regular online and in-person events for CHC agency nurses, including workshops, webinars, Q&A sessions and networking meet-ups focused on Continuing Healthcare, community nursing and regulatory compliance.
These events give you the chance to learn, ask questions, explore complex cases and stay up to date with national frameworks and best practice.
Nurses in our network often collaborate across organisations, share shifts and opportunities, and support each other with practical tips on daily working life.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced CHC nurse assessor, our community helps you feel less isolated and more confident in your professional practice.
CHC Training and Consultancy for Nurses and Care Providers
Specialist CHC Assessment, Funding & Community DoL Training
Develop Confidence in Continuing Healthcare Processes
Our specialist CHC training programmes are designed for agency nurses, nurse assessors, case managers and care providers who work with NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurses who understand the realities of practice and the demands of working across different clinical and community settings.
Training covers CHC eligibility criteria, the National Framework, Decision Support Tool (DST), checklists, appeal processes, community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications and evidence-based care planning.
Participants gain practical skills, clear documentation techniques and confidence in managing complex CHC cases and funding streams.
Support with CQC Compliance and Pre-Inspection Readiness
We provide consultancy support to care providers and agencies preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections, focusing on CHC-related processes, documentation and governance.
Our pre-CQC assessments review policies, care records, risk assessments, mental capacity documentation, community DoL processes and quality assurance systems.
Following the review, we offer actionable recommendations and improvement plans to strengthen compliance, clinical safety and person-centred care.
This helps organisations feel confident and inspection-ready while ensuring that CHC patients receive consistently high standards of care.
Specialist Support for Transitions, Care Planning and CHC Case Management
Seamless Support for Transitions of Care
Promoting Safety, Continuity and Clear Communication
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and supported living can be high-risk for individuals eligible for Continuing Healthcare.
Our network includes CHC-experienced nurses and case managers who understand how to coordinate safe discharge planning, ongoing reviews and community support packages.
We promote person-centred discharge planning, clear communication between multidisciplinary teams and robust clinical documentation to reduce avoidable readmissions and gaps in care.
By sharing best practice within our network, we help CHC agency nurses manage complex transitions smoothly and safely.
Person-Centred Care Plans for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Respecting Independence, Rights and Individual Outcomes
Many CHC agency nurses in our network work with people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and multiple long-term conditions.
We promote best practice in developing person-centred care and support plans that focus on independence, communication, choice, dignity and human rights.
Using evidence-based approaches, we encourage collaborative planning involving families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams.
Our expert shared knowledge supports nurses to embed Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), risk management and safeguarding principles into everyday practice.
Personalised CHC Case Management Support
Integrated, Person-Centred Coordination of Care
For organisations and professionals working with CHC-funded individuals, we offer guidance on effective case management to coordinate complex health and social care needs.
Our approach focuses on holistic assessments, outcome-focused care planning, regular reviews and clear communication between all providers involved in a patient’s care.
We also help professionals understand their legal responsibilities around capacity, consent, safeguarding and mental health legislation.
This ensures that case management remains person-centred, lawful, efficient and aligned with the NHS Continuing Healthcare National Framework.
Events, Workshops and Knowledge Sharing in CHC
Stay Up to Date with CHC Policy, Practice and Regulation
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in a wide range of events covering Continuing Healthcare, community nursing, CQC compliance and wider health and social care developments.
These sessions help agency nurses and care providers stay informed about changes to CHC guidance, case law, commissioning arrangements and best practice standards.
By joining our workshops, webinars and networking sessions, you can ask questions, explore real cases and build practical skills that you can apply immediately in your role.
We also signpost members to relevant national resources, professional standards and learning materials.
Building a Strong Community of CHC Nursing Professionals
Our core aim is to build a connected community of CHC agency nurses who share knowledge openly and support each other every day.
We encourage reflective discussion, peer learning and honest conversations about the realities of CHC work, including workload, ethics and wellbeing.
By engaging with like-minded professionals via our confidential, invite-only social media groups and private forums, members can reduce isolation, share innovative solutions and improve the quality of care delivered across the system.
Many nurses in our network build lasting friendships and professional alliances that continue for years.
