CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nurse Training, Support & Community
Connecting & Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, peer-to-peer support, and healthcare consultancy to help agency nurses build confident, compliant, and rewarding careers in Continuing Healthcare.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the reality of CHC work — from complex funding decisions and care planning to the emotional pressures and daily workload. That’s why our network exists: to give CHC agency nurses a safe place to connect, learn, ask questions, and support each other 24/7.
Through our invite-only social media groups, regular events, and specialist educational resources, the CHC Nurses Agency Network makes professional life easier, more informed, and less isolated for over 500 CHC agency nurses who remain in touch and often become lifelong friends.

Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Providers
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialised CHC training programmes designed for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare, complex care, and agency roles. Our courses cover key topics such as CHC eligibility and assessment, care planning, case management, and regulatory compliance.
All training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand the realities of CHC caseloads, MDTs, and funding panels. We focus on practical, real-world knowledge so nurses can confidently apply CHC frameworks, documentation standards, and best practice in everyday work.
- In-depth CHC overview and National Framework principles
- Clinical evidence gathering and documentation for CHC assessments
- Person-centred care planning and review in CHC settings
- Understanding roles, responsibilities, and multi-agency working
- Managing challenging cases, appeals, and complex pathways
Healthcare Consultancy & Support for CHC Settings
Alongside training and community support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network provides healthcare consultancy to organisations and teams involved in Continuing Healthcare and complex care delivery. We work with providers to strengthen compliance, care quality, and CHC process understanding across their nursing teams.
Our consultants help you review CHC-related policies, care pathways, and documentation to ensure alignment with NHS CHC frameworks and CQC standards. We also support providers in building confident, CHC-competent nursing teams who can manage complex care safely and effectively.

Transitions & CHC Care Pathways
Continuing Healthcare often involves complex transitions between hospital, community, and long-term care settings. The CHC Nurses Agency Network promotes safe, well-coordinated transitions by supporting nurses to develop clear, person-centred CHC care pathways.
We help CHC nurses understand and manage each stage of the pathway — from initial checklist and DST, through commissioning and review — so that patients experience continuity, reduced risk of readmission, and improved quality of life.
- Guidance on hospital discharge and CHC-funded care transitions
- Best practice in coordinating agencies and family involvement
- Focus on safety, communication, and continuity of care
Pre-CQC & Quality Readiness Support
For organisations employing CHC agency nurses, inspection readiness is essential. The CHC Nurses Agency Network can support with pre-CQC readiness reviews, focusing on the CHC and complex care aspects of service delivery.
We work with teams to assess policies, care records, and staff competencies against CQC quality and safety standards, offering targeted recommendations to strengthen evidence, consistency, and compliance before inspection.
- Gap analysis against key CQC domains relevant to CHC
- Actionable improvement plans for CHC documentation and practice
- Support with embedding person-centred and outcomes-focused care
Person-Centred Care & Support for People with Complex Needs
Many CHC-funded individuals live with learning disabilities, autism, and complex physical and mental health needs. Our network actively shares best practice and resources to support nurses in creating personalised care and support plans that promote dignity, independence, and safety.
Through our community discussions, training, and shared experience, CHC nurses can access evidence-based approaches to risk management, communication, and behaviour support that enhance outcomes for people with complex needs.

- Shared experience of what works in multi-agency coordination
