CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Consultancy
A UK Network Supporting CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-based community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare organisations who work within CHC, community and complex care.
We combine expert CHC training, specialist consultancy and a vibrant peer-support network to help nurses build their careers, improve patient outcomes and ensure organisations stay compliant with current health and social care standards.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we provide a confidential space to share knowledge 24/7/365, discuss complex cases and navigate the challenges of modern nursing and Continuing Healthcare practice.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place for nurses to relax, connect and grow professionally with others who truly understand the realities of the job.
We run regular online and in-person events, maintain invite-only social media groups and provide direct access to experienced CHC nurse consultants who support both individual nurses and organisations.
Members often develop strong professional relationships that evolve into long-term friendships and collaborative working partnerships across the UK CHC sector.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Providers
1. Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Teams
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility, Assessments & Funding
We provide practical, case-based CHC training that helps nurses and multidisciplinary teams understand and confidently navigate NHS Continuing Healthcare processes.
Our courses cover checklists, Decision Support Tools (DST), eligibility criteria, funding processes and best practice in documenting clinical needs for robust CHC decision-making.
Community CHC, Domiciliary Care and Complex Care Management
We deliver training tailored to community-based CHC packages, including domiciliary care, supported living and complex care in the home environment.
Sessions focus on care coordination, risk management, clinical governance and maintaining high-quality person-centred care in community settings.
CHC Application, Review & Appeal Processes
Our specialist training clarifies the CHC application, review and appeal pathways, helping nurses to support patients, families and organisations through each step.
We emphasise evidence-based documentation, legal frameworks and effective communication with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to improve outcomes and reduce delays.
2. Consultancy for Healthcare Organisations & Care Providers
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement in CHC Services
We support care providers, nursing agencies and CHC teams with pre-CQC assessments and quality audits focused on Continuing Healthcare and community-based nursing services.
Our consultants identify compliance gaps, review policies and procedures and create actionable improvement plans aligned with CQC and NHS standards.
Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Discharge Planning
Safe and efficient transitions between hospital, community, residential and home-based care are critical for CHC-funded patients.
We work with teams to develop robust transition and discharge pathways, minimising risk, avoiding readmissions and ensuring seamless continuity of care.
Learning Disabilities (LD) & Autism: Specialist Care & Support Plans
Our experienced nurses help providers design person-centred care and support plans for people with Learning Disabilities and/or autism within CHC and social care frameworks.
We promote independence, choice, dignity and positive behaviour support, ensuring plans reflect current evidence-based practice and legal requirements.
3. Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) & Legal Safeguards Training
Community DoL & CHC Interface
We offer focused training on the application of Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) safeguards in the community and how they interact with CHC-funded packages.
Our sessions help staff understand legal responsibilities, documentation standards and best-interest decision-making to protect both patients and organisations.
Safeguarding, Mental Capacity & Risk Management
We support teams to embed safeguarding, Mental Capacity Act principles and risk management into everyday CHC practice.
Training includes real-world scenarios that strengthen clinical judgement, defensible record-keeping and person-centred decision-making.
4. Events, Networking and Peer Support for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC-Focused Events & CPD Opportunities
We host workshops, webinars, masterclasses and networking events that keep CHC agency nurses up to date with the latest guidance, policy changes and best practice.
Events are designed to support revalidation, enhance clinical skills and provide structured opportunities for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
Private, Invite‑Only Social Media Groups
Members gain access to confidential invite-only social media groups where around 500 CHC nurses share advice, job opportunities and day-to-day professional support.
This 24/7/365 peer network enables nurses to ask questions in real time, reflect on practice and get support from others who understand the pressures of CHC and agency work.
Community, Wellbeing & Professional Friendship
We recognise that only another nurse truly understands the realities and stresses of nursing, especially in the CHC and community care environment.
Our network creates a safe, relaxed space where professional connections often become long-term friendships, supporting both wellbeing and career development.
5. Case Management & Complex Care Coordination
Person-Centred CHC Case Management
For patients with complex, long-term conditions, we offer specialist case management support that aligns with CHC eligibility and funding arrangements.
Our nurse case managers coordinate clinical input, multidisciplinary involvement and care reviews to ensure packages remain safe, effective and person-centred.
Service Design & Care Pathway Consultancy
We help organisations design and refine CHC care pathways, from referral through assessment, commissioning and ongoing review.
Our focus is on quality improvement, regulatory compliance and cost-effective resource use without compromising patient outcomes.
