CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Supporting UK Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), Professional Development & Peer Connection
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency healthcare professionals across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and professional networking to make your working life easier, more rewarding and better connected.
Our mission is to help agency nurses and CHC professionals stay up to date with best practice, build confidence in complex CHC cases and funding pathways, and feel supported by a community of colleagues who truly understand the demands of nursing.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing community of around 500+ CHC agency nurses, sharing knowledge, experience and opportunities through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular online and in-person events.
We know that only another nurse really understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of nursing work. Our network gives you a safe, friendly space to talk openly, share professional issues, access support 24/7/365 and develop your CHC expertise.
Comprehensive CHC Training & Professional Development
Specialist CHC Courses Designed for Agency Nurses
We offer a range of Continuing Healthcare training programmes tailored specifically for agency nurses, CHC assessors, case managers and healthcare teams working across the NHS and independent sector.
Our courses cover key CHC topics such as the National Framework, eligibility criteria, CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), care planning, risk assessment, documentation and legal compliance.
Every programme is designed to improve your clinical decision-making, strengthen your documentation, enhance your assessment skills and help you feel confident when working with complex CHC cases and funding discussions.
Focus on Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Funding & Eligibility
Our specialist CHC funding training gives agency nurses a clear and practical understanding of eligibility assessments, funding pathways, appeals, and how CHC interacts with social care and other funding streams.
You will learn how to interpret the National Framework, complete robust assessments, contribute confidently to Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings, and provide accurate, evidence-based information to patients and families about CHC processes.
Practical, Real-World CHC Learning
All CHC training within the CHC Nurses Agency Network is led by experienced CHC nurses and practitioners who understand the realities of agency work, time pressures and complex caseloads.
We focus on real scenarios, case examples and documentation tips that you can apply immediately in practice, helping you to minimise risk, meet professional standards and deliver safe, person-centred care.
Expert CHC Consultancy & Support for Nurses and Organisations
Advisory Support for CHC Practice & Compliance
Alongside training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network also provides informal peer consultancy and guidance for nurses dealing with challenging CHC cases, documentation queries or practice concerns.
Through our private groups and events, you can discuss anonymised cases, explore options with experienced peers, and gain reassurance and clarity on CHC processes, risk management and professional responsibility.
Support for Healthcare Providers Working with Agency Nurses
We work closely with healthcare organisations that rely on CHC agency nurses, helping them to connect with skilled professionals who understand CHC frameworks, eligibility and funding.
By engaging with our network, providers can strengthen their CHC capacity, improve the quality of CHC assessments and documentation, and support smoother collaboration between permanent and agency staff.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups for Peer Support
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our set of confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses connect, share and support one another every day.
These groups provide a safe, moderated space to:
- Discuss professional issues, challenges and ethical dilemmas in CHC
- Share updates on CHC policy changes and best practice
- Ask practical questions and get feedback from experienced colleagues
- Share job opportunities, shift availability and career development tips
- Offer and receive emotional support from nurses who “get it”
Many nurses in our community form strong professional relationships and real friendships that last for years.
Regular Events, Workshops & Networking Opportunities
We run regular events to bring our CHC agency nurse community together, both online and in person, creating spaces to learn, connect and unwind.
Our events include:
- CHC-focused webinars and workshops
- Peer-led case discussion sessions
- Informal networking meetups and social gatherings
- Updates on policy, legislation and best practice in CHC
Events are designed to support your ongoing professional development while also offering a chance to relax, build your network and talk openly with other CHC nurses.
Support with Complex Care, Learning Disabilities & Transition Planning
CHC and Complex Care Case Discussions
Many CHC agency nurses work with individuals who have complex health needs, long-term conditions or dual diagnoses, including learning disabilities and autism.
Our network provides a space to explore complex care and CHC decision-making, including risk management, person-centred planning, best interests decisions and multi-agency working.
Person-Centred, Evidence-Based Support Approaches
Through shared resources and peer learning, we promote evidence-based, person-centred care aligned with the Mental Capacity Act, Human Rights principles and the CHC National Framework.
Members frequently share tools, templates and approaches that support safe transitions of care, improved documentation, and better outcomes for people with learning disabilities and complex needs.
