CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Network & Consultancy

A Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-wide community and consultancy service for nurses, case managers and care providers working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care.

We connect CHC agency nurses, provide expert CHC training, and offer practical consultancy support to help organisations improve care quality, funding decisions and patient outcomes.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub where CHC nurses can learn, share experiences and access specialist advice on all aspects of Continuing Healthcare practice.

With a core membership of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, our confidential, invite-only social media groups and events offer a safe space to discuss complex cases, policy updates and professional challenges, 24/7/365.

Why Join a Specialist CHC Nursing Network?

Working in Continuing Healthcare can be demanding, isolating and fast-changing. Only other CHC nurses truly understand the clinical, legal and ethical pressures that come with high-stakes, complex cases.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings CHC professionals together to provide:

  • Peer support and mentoring from experienced CHC agency nurses
  • Up-to-date CHC knowledge on funding, frameworks and best practice
  • Career development opportunities through networking and CPD
  • Practical advice on documentation, MDT working and panel preparation

Comprehensive Support for CHC Nurses and Organisations

Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Care Providers

Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility & Assessment Training

Understanding the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, eligibility criteria and decision-making processes is essential for safe, lawful CHC practice.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides focused training sessions that cover:

  • CHC eligibility assessments and the Decision Support Tool (DST)
  • Evidence-based documentation and report writing
  • Care planning within CHC-funded packages
  • Appeals, reviews and dispute resolution in CHC

Our training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and aims to build confidence, consistency and competence across CHC teams.

Community DoLS & Legal Compliance in CHC Settings

CHC professionals frequently work with patients subject to Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and complex legal frameworks.

We provide sessions that help nurses and providers to:

  • Understand Community DoLS applications and responsibilities
  • Align CHC practice with Mental Capacity Act principles
  • Reduce risk through robust documentation and best practice

Events, Workshops and Peer Networking for CHC Nurses

Regular CHC Networking Events and Workshops

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events designed to bring CHC nurses and CHC-focused organisations together.

Our programme includes:

  • Workshops on CHC assessments, frameworks and case law
  • Seminars on policy changes and NHS CHC guidance
  • Informal meet-ups to build long-term professional relationships and friendships

Many members who meet through our events remain friends and colleagues for years, creating a trusted CHC network that supports each other through every stage of their careers.

Private Social Media Groups for Continuous Peer Support
