CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Partner in Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Consultancy
Connecting CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Community & Expert Guidance
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care and complex care settings across the UK.
We bring together experienced CHC agency nurses, provide targeted CHC training and consultancy, and support healthcare organisations to deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Whether you are an agency nurse seeking professional development, or a healthcare provider needing expert CHC support, our network gives you access to training, peer support, case management expertise and regulatory guidance in one place.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A Professional Network Where CHC Nurses Can Relax & Connect
The CHC Nurses Agency Network community is a place where nurses can connect with colleagues who truly understand the realities of Continuing Healthcare work.
Only another nurse appreciates the pressure, responsibility and emotional demands that come with complex care and CHC caseloads.
Our private, invite-only social media groups allow members to share experiences, ask questions, debrief safely and support one another 24-7-365.
Many of our 500+ CHC agency nurses have built long-lasting friendships and professional connections through the network.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Peer Learning
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, including networking sessions, peer case discussions and CHC-focused learning sessions.
Most members stay in touch between events, creating a strong sense of belonging and professional solidarity in what can otherwise be an isolating role.
New members are always welcome to join our CHC Nurses Agency Network, access our private groups and get involved in our expanding programme of CHC events and workshops.
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training to Improve Outcomes & Compliance
We provide expert-led CHC training designed for agency nurses, community nurses, case managers and healthcare providers who want a deeper understanding of Continuing Healthcare eligibility, assessments and funding.
Our CHC training covers the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, Decision Support Tools, MDTs and best practice documentation.
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, our courses equip participants with practical, real-world skills to navigate complex CHC processes with confidence.
This improves decision-making, strengthens record-keeping and compliance, and supports better outcomes for patients and families.
Community DoLS & Legal Safeguarding Training
We also offer training on the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and the transition towards Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), tailored to community and CHC settings.
Our workshops simplify the application, assessment and authorisation processes, and clarify the legal responsibilities of nurses and providers.
These sessions help organisations and agency staff to reduce risk, remain compliant with current legislation and ensure that restrictions are always necessary, proportionate and person-centred.
Expert Consultancy for CHC, Care Transitions & Quality Assurance
Supporting Safe CHC Care Transitions
Transitions between acute hospitals, community teams, care homes and home-based packages are often high risk, especially for people funded under NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Our CHC specialists offer consultancy and hands-on guidance to make these transitions as safe and seamless as possible.
We work with commissioners, providers and families to develop individualised transition plans that support continuity of care, minimise avoidable admissions and prioritise patient safety, dignity and choice.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports providers to prepare for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections and quality visits.
Our pre-CQC assessments review policies, clinical documentation, CHC processes, safeguarding and governance arrangements.
We provide clear, actionable feedback and improvement plans so that your service is better positioned to demonstrate compliance, robust CHC practice and high-quality care during inspections.
Person‑Centred Care & Support Planning in CHC and Learning Disability Services
Person‑Centred Care Planning for Complex Needs
Our network includes nurses and consultants with specialist expertise in complex care, learning disabilities (LD), autism and mental health within CHC-funded and social care settings.
We support providers and commissioners to design and review person‑centred care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and safety.
Using evidence-based practice and a strengths-focused approach, we help teams develop plans that are co-produced with individuals and families, and that reduce restrictive practices while improving quality of life.
Empowering Families, Carers & Multidisciplinary Teams
We recognise that CHC and LD care is most effective when families, carers and multidisciplinary teams are empowered and informed.
Our consultancy and guidance sessions provide practical tools to help teams manage risk positively, support communication and behaviour, and keep care truly person-centred.
CHC-Focused Events, Workshops & Continuous Professional Development
Networking & Learning Events for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs a calendar of CHC-focused events that combine networking, education and peer support.
These sessions cover current CHC policy changes, best practice guidance, case law updates and practical documentation tips.
Attending our events helps nurses and providers stay up to date with Continuing Healthcare, connect with leading practitioners and build confidence in managing complex CHC caseloads.
Keeping Pace with Policy & Framework Updates
Our workshops routinely include expert speaker sessions, case studies and Q&A panels exploring the latest trends in CHC, community nursing and safeguarding.
Delegates leave with clear, applicable learning that supports better decision-making, improved clinical records and stronger compliance with the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Professional Case Management & CHC Coordination
Specialist CHC Case Management Support
Our network includes experienced CHC case managers and nurse assessors who support commissioners, providers and families with complex cases.
We can assist with assessment preparation, DST completion, evidence gathering, appeals and reviews, always focusing on the individual’s needs and rights.
Through structured CHC case management, we help ensure that care is coordinated, legally compliant and clinically appropriate, improving experiences and outcomes for people receiving CHC funding.
Coordinating Care Across Providers and Pathways
Continuing Healthcare often involves multiple providers, disciplines and care settings.
Our case management approach promotes clear communication, shared care planning and regular review, so that individuals receive consistent, joined-up support as their needs change.
