CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing, Training & Consultancy

UK Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Nurses, Support & Professional Network

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses in the UK, offering expert training, case management support, and a thriving professional network for agency and independent nurses.

Built by nurses for nurses, our network connects CHC professionals with healthcare providers, offers high-quality CHC training and consultancy, and creates a safe space for sharing knowledge, troubleshooting complex cases, and developing long-term careers in CHC nursing.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional CHC nursing community and a specialist consultancy service dedicated to supporting nurses and healthcare organisations working within NHS Continuing Healthcare.

We provide:

  • A supportive, confidential peer network of over 500 CHC agency nurses.
  • CHC training and consultancy for UK healthcare providers and care services.
  • Guidance on CHC assessments, funding, care planning and case management.
  • Regular events, workshops, and networking opportunities for CHC nurses.

We understand the pressures of nursing, particularly in CHC, and we create a space where only another nurse needs to explain the realities of the job.

A Relaxed, Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

A Safe Space to Connect and Share

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, connect and recharge. Our members regularly support one another with:

  • Everyday professional issues and case queries.
  • Sharing best practice in CHC assessments, reviews and care planning.
  • Advice on work–life balance, agency work, and professional boundaries.
  • Emotional support from colleagues who truly understand CHC nursing.

Many of our nurses build strong friendships through the network and remain in touch for years, even as their careers evolve across different roles and organisations.

Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support

We run several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC nurses can ask questions, share experiences and get support 24/7, 365 days a year.

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals actively engages across these groups, making it easy to:

  • Get quick input on complex CHC eligibility, DSTs or reviews.
  • Share policy updates, templates and resources.
  • Discuss career opportunities and contract roles within CHC.
  • Build your profile as a trusted CHC specialist.

We welcome new members to join our CHC Agency Nurses Network, access our private groups and attend our events.

Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Nurses

CHC Eligibility, Assessments & Funding Training

We deliver specialist CHC training programmes designed for nurses, case managers and healthcare teams who need a clear, practical understanding of the NHS Continuing Healthcare process.

Our CHC training covers:

  • CHC eligibility criteria and national framework guidance.
  • How to complete checklists, DSTs (Decision Support Tools) and robust evidence gathering.
  • Best practice in care planning, review processes and dispute resolution.
  • Documentation tips to support successful CHC applications and appeals.

Sessions are delivered by experienced CHC nurses and can be tailored for individual nurses, agencies or provider organisations, either online or in person.

Compliance, Governance & CQC-Ready Practice

While we are primarily a CHC-focused network, our training and consultancy also help care providers and nursing teams align with CQC standards and wider regulatory expectations.

We support organisations to:

  • Develop robust, person-centred care plans underpinned by CHC funding decisions.
  • Evidence safe, effective and well-led practice in CHC settings.
  • Strengthen documentation, risk assessments and governance around CHC-funded packages.

Care Planning, Transitions & Learning Disability Support

Safe Transitions Between Care Settings

Transitions between hospital, home, and community settings are high-risk points in CHC-funded care. Our network supports nurses and providers to manage these transitions safely and smoothly.

We help develop personalised transition plans that prioritise:

  • Continuity of CHC-funded care and support.
  • Clear communication between multi-disciplinary teams, families and providers.
  • Reduced risk of hospital readmission and care breakdown.

Learning Disabilities (LD) CHC Care & Support Planning

Many individuals with learning disabilities (LD) are eligible for CHC-funded packages. We specialise in person-centred LD care and support planning within the CHC framework.

Our approach focuses on:

  • Maximising independence, choice and dignity.
  • Co-producing care plans with individuals, families and support teams.
  • Embedding evidence-based practice and positive behaviour support.

By working collaboratively, we ensure that each CHC-funded package of care meets the person’s unique clinical, social and emotional needs.

CHC Application, Case Management & Community DOL Support

Expert Guidance on CHC Applications & Reviews

The NHS Continuing Healthcare application and review process can be complex for both nurses and providers. Our network offers practical guidance on:

  • Understanding and applying the National Framework consistently.
  • Collecting strong clinical evidence to support eligibility.
  • Preparing for multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings.
  • Managing reviews, appeals and disputes fairly and professionally.

We support both individual CHC nurses and organisations to strengthen their CHC practice and improve outcomes for patients.

Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Applications

Where individuals are receiving CHC-funded care in the community, there can be a need to consider Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) safeguards or authorisations.

We can provide guidance and peer support to:

  • Understand DoL in community and home-based settings.
  • Ensure documentation, capacity assessments and best-interest decisions are robust.
  • Align DoL processes with CHC funding and care planning requirements.

CHC Events, Workshops & Networking Opportunities

Regular CHC-Focused Events for Nurses

We run regular events, workshops and webinars to bring our CHC nursing community together, both online and in person.

Our events help CHC nurses to:

  • Stay ahead of CHC policy changes and NHS guidance.
  • Develop advanced assessment and case management skills.
  • Engage in peer learning, mentoring and reflective practice.
  • Build a strong professional network across the UK.

  • Build a reputation as a trusted CHC specialist nurse.
  • Gain mentoring and informal career advice from experienced colleagues.

Person-Centred CHC Case Management & Team Support

Holistic, Person-Centred CHC Coordination

We support nurses and providers to:

  • Develop comprehensive, person-centred CHC care plans.
  • Balance clinical needs, risk and quality of life.
  • Work in genuine partnership with families and carers.
