CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community
Specialist CHC Nursing Network, Training & Consultancy Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care and complex needs.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy support and a strong peer network of agency nurses to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care while developing your professional career.
A Supportive National Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Connect, Share & Grow With CHC Specialists
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the daily pressures, clinical responsibility and emotional load that come with nursing.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a relaxed, supportive space where UK-based CHC and community agency nurses can share real experiences, solve problems together and build long-term professional relationships.
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups with around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals, available to support each other 24/7/365.
Members use these groups to discuss complex CHC cases, funding decisions, clinical dilemmas, workplace challenges and opportunities, all within a safe, moderated environment that respects privacy and professionalism.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Learning Sessions
We run regular online and in-person events that bring our community together for networking, peer supervision, CHC updates and CPD-focused learning.
Many nurses within our network become friends and trusted colleagues, staying connected for years and building strong professional support systems that make agency life more sustainable and rewarding.
CHC Training & Consultancy for Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
Specialist CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Deepen Your Understanding of CHC Assessments & Funding
Our tailored training programmes focus on the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) assessments, decision support tools, care planning, appeals and CHC funding processes across the UK.
Delivered by experienced CHC nurses and consultants, our courses give you practical insight into eligibility criteria, evidence gathering, MDT working and compliance with the National Framework for CHC and relevant community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) requirements.
Who Our CHC Training Is For
Our CHC training is ideal for agency nurses, CHC assessors, community nurses, care home managers, commissioners and multidisciplinary staff who want clear, up-to-date guidance on CHC processes.
We offer interactive workshops, live online sessions and in-house training that can be customised to your organisation’s policies, local CHC pathways and compliance needs.
Pre-CQC Readiness Reviews for Care Providers
Independent Pre-CQC Assessments
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also supports care homes, domiciliary providers and supported living services with pre-CQC readiness reviews and quality improvement support.
Our senior nurses and consultants review your policies, care plans, risk assessments, medicines management, staffing, governance, safeguarding and incident reporting to identify strengths and gaps ahead of a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection.
Actionable Quality Improvement Plans
Following our review, we provide clear, prioritised recommendations and practical templates to support ongoing quality improvement, regulatory compliance and better outcomes for people using your service.
By working with the CHC Nurses Agency Network, providers can feel confident and prepared for CQC inspections while embedding a culture of safety and continuous learning.
Specialist Support for Learning Disability (LD) Care & Support Plans
Person-Centred, Outcomes-Focused LD Care Planning
Tailored Care & Support Plans for People With LD
Our experienced community and LD nurses work alongside families, support workers and providers to develop detailed, person-centred care and support plans for people with Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex needs.
We ensure that plans promote choice, independence, dignity, communication needs, behaviour support, physical health and mental wellbeing, while clearly outlining safe, consistent daily support.
Evidence-Based and Legally Compliant Approaches
Our LD planning uses evidence-based practice aligned with current best practice guidance, Mental Capacity Act, safeguarding and human rights legislation.
We support providers to demonstrate robust documentation, risk management and person-centred outcomes that meet CQC expectations and commissioning requirements.
Expert Case Management & CHC Coordination
Holistic, Person-Centred Case Management
Coordinating Complex CHC Packages
Our case management professionals support the coordination of complex CHC care packages, ensuring that people with high-level health needs receive joined-up, safe and consistent care across settings.
We liaise with families, CHC teams, providers, therapists and GPs to ensure the care plan reflects the individual’s clinical, social and emotional needs and is regularly reviewed.
Compliance, Governance & Efficient Use of Resources
We help organisations optimise resources by making sure funded care packages, staffing levels, training and documentation meet legal, professional and commissioning requirements.
Our focus is on reducing fragmented care, supporting smoother transitions between services and improving overall patient experience and outcomes.
CHC Events, Updates & Professional Development
CHC-Focused Workshops, Webinars & Networking
Stay Up to Date With CHC Policy & Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts regular webinars, workshops, Q&A sessions and networking events on CHC-related topics, including National Framework updates, CHC reviews, appeals and DoLS.
These sessions support continuing professional development (CPD) for nurses, managers and allied professionals who want to stay current and confident in their roles.
