CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Expert Training, Consultancy & Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), bringing together expert training, consultancy, case management support and a thriving professional community.
We help CHC agency nurses build confidence, stay compliant, enhance their skills and connect with like‑minded professionals who understand the realities of CHC practice.
Only another nurse truly understands the daily pressures of clinical decision‑making, funding assessments, care planning and regulatory compliance in CHC.
Our network offers a safe, supportive environment where you can learn, share and grow your career while improving outcomes for the people you support.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Specialist Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invite‑only community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK.
We connect nurses who work in Continuing Healthcare, complex care, learning disabilities and community settings, creating a space to share knowledge, opportunities and support 24/7/365.
Relax, Connect & Advance Your Nursing Career
Our network is a place to relax, de‑stress and talk openly with colleagues who truly understand your workload.
Many nurses build long‑term friendships, gain valuable peer mentoring and access professional development opportunities that help them progress their CHC careers.
Comprehensive Support Services for CHC Agency Nurses
Specialist Training to Enhance CHC Skills & Knowledge
We provide targeted CHC training programmes tailored specifically for agency nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and complex care environments.
Our courses cover areas such as CHC/CHC‑FNC eligibility assessments, care planning, MDT participation, documentation, risk management and regulatory compliance.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants using practical, real‑world case examples, ensuring you can apply learning directly to your day‑to‑day practice.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner, our training helps you work more confidently, safely and efficiently.
Expert Guidance on Complex Care Transitions
Transitions between hospital, community and long‑term care can be complex and high‑risk for patients and the professionals involved.
Our team supports CHC agency nurses and providers to manage care transitions safely, promoting continuity, effective handovers and person‑centred practice.
We share best practice, templates and checklists to streamline processes such as discharge planning, step‑up/step‑down arrangements and changes in care packages.
This helps you protect patient safety, meet commissioning expectations and reduce avoidable complaints or incidents.
Supporting Organisations & Nurses With Pre‑CQC Readiness
Preparing CHC Services for CQC Inspection Success
For providers delivering CHC and complex care, we offer pre‑CQC readiness support to help agency nurses and teams understand what “Good” and “Outstanding” look like in practice.
We review current documentation, care records, risk assessments and governance processes against Care Quality Commission expectations for safety, effectiveness and leadership.
Our recommendations are clear, practical and tailored to CHC and community‑based settings, helping you strengthen compliance and demonstrate quality outcomes.
This support is particularly valuable for services that rely on agency nurses and want to ensure consistency across their workforce.
Embedding Continuous Quality Improvement in CHC Practice
We help CHC nurses and organisations embed continuous quality improvement by refining policies, training, supervision and clinical audit processes.
This supports safer care delivery, stronger documentation and more robust responses to commissioning or CQC feedback.
By working with the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain access to shared tools, peer insights and expert consultancy, all focused on raising quality across CHC services and agency practice.
Our aim is to help you feel prepared, supported and inspection‑ready at all times.
Developing Person‑Centred Support Plans for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Personalised Care Planning That Promotes Independence
Many CHC agency nurses support individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex physical health needs.
We provide guidance and training on developing person‑centred support plans that promote independence, dignity, choice and control.
Our approach helps nurses collaborate effectively with families, MDTs and support staff to create plans that are meaningful, achievable and outcomes‑focused.
This includes positive behaviour support, communication strategies, health action planning and risk‑enabling approaches.
Using Evidence‑Based Practice to Improve Lives
The CHC Nurses Agency Network champions evidence‑based practice in LD and complex care, drawing on the latest guidance from NICE, NHS England and relevant professional bodies.
We share tools, resources and case studies that help nurses shape support around each person’s unique strengths, preferences and long‑term goals.
By integrating best practice into day‑to‑day agency work, our members help improve quality of life, reduce placement breakdowns and support people to live as independently as possible.
This benefits individuals, families, commissioners and providers alike.
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development for Agency Nurses
Tailored Courses Covering CHC Funding, Eligibility & Regulation
Understanding CHC Eligibility, Frameworks & Funding Processes
Our Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training breaks down complex national frameworks and local processes into clear, practical learning.
We cover the CHC National Framework, Decision Support Tool (DST), checklists, MDT meetings, Fast Track funding, appeals and interface with social care.
Training is designed specifically for agency nurses who work in community, homecare, care homes or acute settings where CHC is part of everyday practice.
We focus on what you need to document, how to present clinical evidence and how to advocate effectively for patients while staying within your professional boundaries.
Boosting Confidence, Compliance & Clinical Documentation
By joining our courses, CHC agency nurses develop the skills needed to navigate CHC confidently and safely.
We emphasise high‑quality documentation, defensible clinical reasoning and clear communication with commissioners, providers and families.
This supports compliance with the NMC Code, local policies and regulatory standards, while reducing risk for you and the organisations you work with.
Improved knowledge and confidence also makes you more competitive for specialist CHC and complex care assignments.
Stay Informed With CHC‑Focused Events, Education & Networking
Regular Workshops, Webinars & Peer Networking Sessions
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs and participates in regular CHC‑related events, both online and in person.
These include workshops, webinars, case discussion sessions and informal meet‑ups where members can ask questions, share experiences and problem‑solve together.
Most of our nurses stay in touch regularly through our confidential, invite‑only social media groups and private forums.
Many members build strong friendships, find mentors and explore new career opportunities through these connections.
Enhance Your CHC Practice & Professional Profile
Our events and network activities are designed to help you stay up to date with CHC policy changes, commissioning trends and best practice.
You gain practical insights that you can immediately apply to your work, improving both patient outcomes and your professional profile.
Being part of an active specialist network also demonstrates commitment to ongoing CPD, which can support appraisals, revalidation and career progression.
Many agencies and providers value nurses who invest in their CHC expertise and maintain strong professional links.
Expert Case Management Support for CHC Patients & Providers
Person‑Centred Care Coordination in CHC
Holistic, Individualised Case Management
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides access to experienced CHC case management support for individuals with complex health needs.
Our network of specialist nurses works closely with patients, families, commissioners and providers to coordinate care that is safe, effective and person‑centred.
We focus on ensuring that packages of care are clinically appropriate, sustainable and responsive to changing needs over time.
This includes reviewing risk management, escalation plans, communication pathways and outcome measures.
Supporting Healthcare Teams & Ensuring CHC Compliance
Our case management support helps teams develop and maintain care plans that meet clinical, legal and regulatory standards, including CHC and CQC requirements.
We assist with documentation, MDT liaison, clinical governance and incident review, always prioritising patient safety and quality of life.
For agency nurses, this means clearer expectations, stronger support and safer working environments.
For organisations, it supports efficient use of resources, reduced risk and more positive relationships with commissioners and regulators.
