CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Consultancy and a Strong Professional Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and support hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, healthcare consultancy and an active peer network of over 500 agency nurses to help you build confidence, stay compliant and advance your nursing career.
As any nurse will know, only another nurse truly understands the realities of the job — the pressure, responsibility and emotional toll that come with delivering high-quality care.
Our network creates a safe, confidential space where CHC agency nurses can connect, learn, de‑stress and share real‑world experiences 24/7/365.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency & Community Nurses
In‑Depth Training in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
We provide specialist CHC training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses, case managers and community healthcare professionals involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare assessments and reviews.
Our courses cover CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), care planning, funding processes and best practice in multidisciplinary working, so you can navigate complex CHC pathways with confidence.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants who understand both frontline practice and commissioning requirements, ensuring the content is practical, up to date and aligned with NHS CHC National Framework guidance.
CQC Preparation and Quality Compliance for Agency Nurses
Our network supports agency nurses and independent providers to prepare for CQC inspections and uphold high standards of care in line with Care Quality Commission (CQC) and NHS guidelines.
We offer pre‑CQC assessment support, documentation reviews, policy guidance and best‑practice templates to help you demonstrate safe, effective, person‑centred care across CHC and complex care packages.
By strengthening your understanding of compliance and inspection expectations, we help you protect your professional reputation and contribute to excellent outcomes for patients and providers alike.
Consultancy and Support for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
Supporting Safe Transitions of Care in CHC
Transitions between hospital, home and care settings are critical moments for adults receiving Continuing Healthcare and complex care funding.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers guidance and consultancy to help nurses and providers manage safe, seamless transitions of care, reducing risk, avoiding readmissions and ensuring continuity of support.
Our experienced CHC nurses share practical tools, checklists and communication strategies to improve handover quality, discharge planning and community follow‑up for people with complex health needs.
Person‑Centred Support Plans for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many CHC and complex care packages involve individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and long‑term neurological conditions who require highly personalised support.
Through our training and peer‑sharing, we help nurses design and implement person‑centred care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and quality of life.
We focus on strengths‑based approaches, positive risk‑taking, communication strategies and collaboration with families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams, all underpinned by current evidence‑based practice.
Expert Case Management and Professional Guidance
For nurses involved in case management, CHC reviews and complex community packages, our network offers ongoing peer support and expert advice to help you coordinate care effectively.
We share practical guidance on multi‑agency working, documentation standards, safeguarding, capacity and consent, and working in line with legal and regulatory frameworks.
By learning from experienced colleagues and specialist CHC nurses, you can enhance your confidence, improve outcomes for patients and strengthen your professional decision making.
A Professional Network Where CHC Agency Nurses Can Truly Connect
A Safe Space to Share the Realities of CHC Nursing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than training and consultancy — it is a community built by nurses, for nurses.
We understand the unique challenges of working as an agency nurse in Continuing Healthcare, from unpredictable caseloads to emotional pressure and professional isolation.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays in touch through confidential, invite‑only social media groups, where members can openly discuss clinical issues, workplace concerns and day‑to‑day challenges in a supportive, non‑judgemental environment.
Regular Events, CPD and Learning Opportunities
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring our CHC nurse community together, including workshops, webinars, peer‑learning sessions and informal meet‑ups.
These sessions cover a wide range of topics such as updates to the CHC National Framework, best practice in assessment and review, documentation, safeguarding and emerging trends in community and complex care.
Our events support your continuing professional development (CPD), help you stay up to date with policy changes, and create opportunities to build long‑term professional relationships and friendships with other CHC nurses.
Private Social Media Groups and 24/7 Peer Support
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are invited to join our private, moderated social media groups dedicated to CHC agency nurses.
Within these groups, nurses share resources, job leads, clinical advice, policy updates and moral support around the clock, 365 days a year.
This always‑on peer network helps reduce isolation, promote professional resilience and ensure you are never alone when facing difficult situations or decisions in your CHC nursing practice.
