CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering Agency Nurses Working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community and consultancy service dedicated to agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings across the UK.
We combine specialist CHC training, expert advisory support and a private peer network to help you develop your career, improve practice standards and navigate the unique challenges of agency nursing.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional load of frontline care; that is why our network is built by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses, with practical, real-world support available all year round.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a confidential, invite-only community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, supported by experienced CHC trainers and consultants.
Members access a range of benefits, including CPD-focused training, peer-to-peer learning, case discussion, networking events and everyday support from colleagues who truly understand CHC nursing.
We welcome new members into our private social media groups and online events, where agency nurses connect, ask questions, share knowledge and build long-term professional friendships.
Comprehensive CHC Training & Professional Development
Specialist Courses in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Mastering CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Funding
Our CHC training programmes are designed specifically for agency nurses who need a clear, practical understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, assessment tools and funding processes.
You will learn how to interpret and apply National Framework guidance, contribute effectively to CHC Decision Support Tools (DSTs), communicate confidently with CHC teams and ensure accurate decision-making for patients with complex needs.
Person-Centred CHC Care Planning
We focus on developing legally compliant, person-centred care plans for individuals eligible for CHC, ensuring that physical, psychological, social and cultural needs are fully reflected.
Our training helps agency nurses create clear, outcome-focused documentation that supports safe, continuous care, promotes dignity and empowers patients and their families.
Keeping Up to Date With CHC Policy & Best Practice
Live Webinars, Seminars & Online Workshops
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events to keep members updated on the latest CHC policy changes, NHS guidance, CQC expectations and clinical best practice.
Sessions are interactive, case-based and designed to translate complex policy into practical steps you can apply immediately in CHC assessment, review and community care roles.
Supporting Safe & Seamless Patient Transitions
Transition Management in CHC & Complex Care
We provide guidance and training on managing care transitions for CHC patients moving between hospitals, community settings, care homes and home-based packages of care.
Our approach prioritises safety, continuity and communication, so agency nurses can reduce delays, minimise risk and support better experiences for patients, families and multidisciplinary teams.
Specialist Consultancy & Advisory Support for CHC Nurses
Support with CHC Case Management & Complex Cases
Expert Guidance on CHC Casework
We offer 1:1 advisory support and small-group sessions for agency nurses dealing with complex CHC cases, contested decisions or challenging MDT dynamics.
Our experienced CHC professionals can help you interpret clinical evidence, structure your documentation, prepare for MDTs and advocate effectively for high-quality, person-centred care.
Pre-CQC Readiness Support for Agency Nurses & Providers
Preparing for CQC Expectations in CHC Settings
While agency nurses are often temporary within services, your practice is still central to CQC compliance in CHC and complex care environments.
We provide practical guidance and checklists to help you understand what the CQC expects around safe care, effective documentation, safeguarding, capacity and consent, so you can contribute confidently to inspection-ready services.
Personalised Support for Learning Disabilities & Autism within CHC
Holistic, Person-Centred Support Planning
Many CHC-funded patients have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism or complex neurodevelopmental conditions, requiring highly individualised care planning.
We help agency nurses understand reasonable adjustments, communication strategies and positive behaviour support so they can contribute to care plans that promote independence, dignity and quality of life.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
24/7 Professional Discussion & Shared Learning
Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nurses stay connected through confidential, invite-only social media groups, where members can share professional issues, ask questions and offer peer support 24-7-365.
These groups are a safe space to discuss CHC practice, policy updates, career opportunities and day-to-day challenges with colleagues who truly understand your work.
Events, Meet-Ups & Long-Term Connections
Building Professional Networks & Friendships
We organise regular online meet-ups and in-person events to bring our CHC agency nurse community together for networking, learning and mutual support.
Many members form strong professional relationships and personal friendships that continue for years, making agency nursing less isolating and more rewarding.
