CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Nurses
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist nursing community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC), training, and support for agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK. Our mission is to empower CHC professionals with the skills, knowledge, and peer network they need to deliver safe, effective, and person‑centred care.
Through tailored CHC training programmes, expert consultancy and an active professional network of over 500 CHC agency nurses, we make the complexities of CHC, CQC preparedness, and care transitions easier to understand and manage in everyday practice.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to learn, connect and relax with colleagues who truly understand the realities of agency nursing and Continuing Healthcare. Only another nurse really understands the workload, emotional demands and daily pressures that come with our profession.
Our private, invite‑only social media groups run 24‑7‑365 and bring together around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who openly share practice issues, questions, opportunities, and support in a confidential, respectful environment.
Many members form lasting friendships, stay in touch between shifts and contracts, and use the network to build their careers, gain confidence in CHC, and feel less isolated in their professional lives.
Regular CHC Events, Workshops & Networking Opportunities
We run regular in‑person and online events designed specifically for CHC agency nurses, case managers and related healthcare professionals. These events are a chance to keep up to date with the latest CHC policies, NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, funding criteria and best‑practice guidance.
From practical workshops and Q&A sessions to informal networking and peer support meet‑ups, our events help you grow your professional network, stay informed about changes in CHC, and share real‑world experiences with colleagues who understand your role.
Comprehensive CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Care Teams
Our CHC training programmes are designed to give agency nurses and healthcare teams clear, practical understanding of NHS Continuing Healthcare, related legislation and everyday clinical application. Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced assessor, we offer courses tailored to your level and role.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and nurse consultants who combine real‑life case examples with up‑to‑date regulatory knowledge, so you leave feeling confident, compliant and ready to apply what you have learned in practice.
Tailored Training Modules Covering Core CHC Competencies
We offer modular training that can be combined into bespoke programmes for individuals, agencies and provider organisations, focusing on the specific CHC skills and knowledge you need to strengthen.
Assessment, Documentation & Care Planning Skills
Our courses include practical training in CHC eligibility assessments, completion of the Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST), robust clinical documentation, and the development of person‑centred care plans for people with complex and long‑term needs, including Learning Disabilities and neuro‑diversity.
We focus on defensible record‑keeping, clear clinical rationales and strength‑based, person‑centred approaches that promote independence, dignity and positive outcomes.
Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare & Funding Processes
Participants gain a clear, step‑by‑step understanding of the NHS Continuing Healthcare process, from screening and referral through to MDT decision‑making, appeals and reviews. Training covers the National Framework, key legal judgements, funding criteria and what good evidence looks like.
This gives nurses and case managers the knowledge and confidence to support individuals and families, liaise effectively with ICBs and local authorities, and ensure CHC processes are followed lawfully and transparently.
Specialist Consultancy for CHC Providers & Healthcare Organisations
In addition to our community and training, CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy services to help healthcare organisations, agencies and providers strengthen their CHC practice, governance and compliance.
Our CHC specialists work alongside your team to optimise pathways, improve documentation, support complex cases and ensure your services are aligned with CQC expectations and the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Pre‑CQC & Quality Assurance Support
We support organisations with pre‑CQC assessments, internal audits and quality improvement planning, focusing particularly on CHC‑related care, clinical governance, risk management and person‑centred practice.
By identifying gaps early and embedding practical solutions, we help you demonstrate safe, effective, responsive and well‑led services during CQC inspections.
Transitions of Care & Complex Discharge Planning
Transitions between hospital, community, residential and home settings can be high‑risk for people with CHC‑level needs. Our consultants support organisations to design and implement safe transition and discharge pathways that protect continuity of care.
We help teams clarify CHC responsibilities, coordinate multi‑agency working and involve individuals and families in every step of the process to reduce delays, readmissions and complaints.
Supporting Learning Disabilities & Person‑Centred CHC Care
We provide guidance on delivering high‑quality, person‑centred care for people with Learning Disabilities and autism who may be eligible for CHC funding, ensuring good practice in communication, capacity, consent and positive risk‑taking.
Our approach promotes holistic assessment, personalised support plans and collaborative working with individuals, families and advocacy services.
Expert Case Management & CHC Advocacy Support
CHC Nurses Agency Network also offers specialist case management and advisory support around complex CHC cases, appeals and reviews. Our experienced CHC nurses can help interpret evidence, structure clinical rationales and guide you through challenging situations.
By coordinating information, optimising resources and ensuring that legal and policy requirements are met, we support professionals and organisations to secure fair outcomes and maintain high standards of care.
