CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
A Dedicated UK Network for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
We bring together experienced CHC professionals, offer targeted training, expert guidance, and a strong peer support network to help nurses deliver safe, compliant, and person-centred care.
Our mission is to improve outcomes for patients with complex needs while supporting nurses and providers to navigate the realities of CHC practice, CQC expectations, and rapidly changing healthcare frameworks.
Whether you are an individual agency nurse, a care provider, or a commissioning organisation, we provide the tools, connections, and knowledge you need to work confidently in CHC.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a professional community where CHC agency nurses can relax, learn, share experiences, and build long-term connections.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the demands, pressures, and responsibilities that come with working in Continuing Healthcare.
Our private, invite-only social media groups and online spaces give members a safe place to discuss professional issues 24/7/365.
With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, our network supports peer learning, case discussions, and shared problem solving in a confidential environment.
Many of our members form friendships that last for years, supporting each other through job changes, challenging cases, and career progression.
We also run regular events, workshops, and meet-ups to bring CHC nurses together in person and online, strengthening both professional practice and personal resilience.
Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training
Empowering Agency Nurses Working in CHC
We deliver specialist CHC training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses and teams working within Continuing Healthcare pathways.
Our courses build confidence and competence around CHC eligibility, funding processes, multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working, and care planning for complex needs.
Training content is aligned to current National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance and focuses on practical application in real-world settings.
We support nurses to understand the legal, clinical, and documentation requirements involved in CHC, helping them to deliver safe, high-quality, and defensible care.
Tailored Programmes for Different Experience Levels
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced nurse wanting to deepen your expertise, we offer training at multiple levels:
introductory CHC awareness, advanced CHC case management, and refresher sessions on updates to guidance and best practice.
For organisations, we can customise training to match your service model, policies, and workforce needs, ensuring content is directly relevant to your daily practice.
Sessions can be delivered online or face to face and are designed to be interactive, practical, and evidence-based.
Consultancy & Practice Support for CHC Providers
Regulatory Readiness & CQC Compliance
We support care providers and CHC teams with pre-CQC assessments and quality improvement reviews to identify gaps and strengthen practice before inspections.
Our consultants review policies, care records, CHC documentation, and clinical practice to ensure alignment with CQC and CHC standards.
Following assessment, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to improve governance, care planning, risk management, and staff training.
This support helps organisations feel prepared, compliant, and confident when regulators or commissioners review their services.
Complex Transitions & Person-Centred Care Planning
Transitions between hospital, home, and care settings can be particularly challenging for CHC-funded individuals with complex needs.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports safe transitions by advising on person-centred transition plans that protect safety, dignity, and continuity of care.
We also specialise in individualised care and support planning for people with Learning Disabilities, autism, and long-term conditions, incorporating best practice in positive risk-taking and rights-based care.
Our focus is on improving quality of life while ensuring that documentation, assessments, and care delivery are robust and defensible.
Community, Networking & Peer Support
A Private, Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are invited to join our confidential, invite-only social media groups where professional issues can be discussed openly and safely.
From complex CHC case queries to questions about documentation, roles, and boundaries, you can access peer support from colleagues who truly understand your work.
Our network is active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, reflecting the reality of shift work in nursing.
This constant connectivity helps agency nurses feel less isolated and more supported, particularly when working in unfamiliar settings or dealing with difficult cases.
Events, Workshops & Ongoing Professional Development
We host a range of online and in-person events for CHC agency nurses, including:
webinars on CHC practice, workshops on documentation and assessments, networking events, and informal meet-ups.
These events provide opportunities to learn from experienced CHC practitioners, share insights, and stay up to date with policy changes, best practice, and case law that affect Continuing Healthcare.
Many nurses stay in our network for years, benefitting from consistent professional development and long-term peer relationships.
