CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Expert Training, Consultancy and Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK. Our mission is to improve CHC practice and patient outcomes through expert training, peer support, and practical consultancy tailored to the realities of agency nursing.
We understand the pressures, complexity and pace of CHC nursing, CHC assessments, fast-track funding, Community DoLS and regulatory compliance. Our network equips agency nurses and providers with the skills, confidence and connections needed to deliver safe, effective, and legally compliant care in today’s demanding healthcare environment.
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses to Connect, Learn and Grow
A Supportive Community That Understands Agency Nursing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed as a safe, supportive space where CHC agency nurses can relax, connect and share professional challenges with colleagues who truly understand the role. Only another nurse really understands the emotional and practical demands of frontline CHC work, and our network brings those professionals together.
We welcome new CHC nurses into our community every week, inviting them to join our private, invite-only social media groups and regular events where they can build friendships, ask questions, and access peer support 24/7.
Active Private Social Media Groups & Peer-to-Peer Support
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected through confidential, invite-only online groups where members share cases, resources, job opportunities and professional issues all year round. This real-time communication helps nurses problem-solve quickly and feel less isolated when dealing with complex CHC situations.
Many members build long-standing friendships, mentor relationships and professional collaborations through the network, supporting each other through career changes, new contracts and advanced roles in CHC.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups and Professional Development Sessions
We run regular online and in-person events to bring CHC agency nurses together, including masterclasses, Q&A sessions, informal meet-ups and topic-based discussion groups. These sessions focus on real CHC practice issues, from eligibility decision-making and documentation to managing difficult MDTs and working effectively with ICBs and local authorities.
Our events provide a vital space for networking, learning and sharing best practice, helping agency nurses stay current with CHC policy changes, tools, and case law developments.
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses & Providers
In-Depth Training on CHC Funding, Assessments and Community DoLS
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist training courses for agency nurses, care providers and multidisciplinary teams involved in Continuing Healthcare. Our programmes cover the full CHC pathway, including checklist completion, DSTs, MDT processes, fast-track funding, care planning and Community DoLS applications.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurse specialists who combine practical frontline insight with up-to-date knowledge of the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, legal obligations and regulatory expectations, ensuring participants can apply learning immediately in practice.
Our CHC training helps:
- Agency nurses strengthen their knowledge of CHC criteria, domains and evidence gathering.
- Providers and agencies improve documentation, risk management and compliance.
- Teams feel more confident when contributing to or challenging CHC eligibility decisions.
Events and Workshops on CHC Policy, Best Practice and Case Law
To ensure CHC agency nurses stay ahead in a rapidly changing landscape, we host and support a range of CHC-focused workshops and update sessions. These events explore policy updates, case law developments, evidence standards, person-centred planning, and practical tools for complex cases.
Attendees gain actionable strategies they can use immediately in their agency roles, improving the quality, safety and consistency of the CHC care they deliver while strengthening professional confidence.
Tailored CHC Consultancy for Agencies, Care Providers and Organisations
Alongside our network and training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network provides consultancy support for organisations working within CHC pathways. We offer bespoke guidance on CHC processes, documentation quality, CQC preparation, governance systems and clinical risk management.
Our CHC nurse consultants can review your existing processes, identify gaps, and recommend practical improvements that align with the National Framework, NHS guidance and CQC expectations, helping you deliver consistent, defensible and person-centred CHC care.
Support for Transitions, Learning Disability Care and Person-Centred Planning
Expert Guidance During Complex Transitions of Care
Transitions between hospital, home, nursing homes and supported living are high-risk points in the CHC pathway. Our network and consultancy services support CHC nurses and providers to plan and coordinate safe, seamless transitions, ensuring continuity of care, appropriate funding and clear communication between all parties.
We focus on developing robust transition plans that protect patient safety, uphold legal rights, and minimise distress for individuals and families, particularly where CHC eligibility or care funding is changing.
Specialist Learning Disability Care & Support Planning Within CHC
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports professionals involved in CHC-funded packages for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex behavioural needs. We promote evidence-based, person-centred care that balances independence, safety and quality of life.
Working collaboratively with families, providers and MDTs, we help nurses and organisations develop clear, defensible care plans that reflect needs across health, communication, behaviour, sensory processing, risk and daily living, aligned with CHC and Mental Capacity Act principles.
Expert CHC Case Management Support and Practice Guidance
Person-Centred CHC Coordination and Case Oversight
Our experienced CHC nurses provide guidance on best practice in CHC case management, helping agency nurses and organisations coordinate complex care packages across multiple providers and disciplines. We emphasise person-centred care, clear communication, outcome-focused planning and robust record-keeping.
This support helps teams optimise resources, maintain legal and regulatory compliance and improve quality of life for people receiving CHC-funded care, whether in their own homes or care settings.
Supporting Healthcare Teams With Practical CHC Expertise
The CHC Nurses Agency Network works alongside agencies, providers and MDTs to strengthen CHC pathways, troubleshoot complex cases and embed best practice. Our nurse specialists can advise on eligibility disputes, appeals, safeguarding concerns, Community DoLS applications and high-risk care situations.
By partnering with us, you access a community of nurses committed to high-quality, ethical and legally sound CHC practice, supported by structured training and real-world peer insight.
