CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Consultancy & Nurse Community
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Support for Nurses & Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to supporting CHC agency nurses and healthcare organisations to deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care.
We combine expert CHC training, continuing healthcare consultancy, case management support, and a thriving, confidential agency nurse network to help you navigate the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare, funding, and regulatory compliance with confidence.
With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer a space to learn, connect and grow, while ensuring healthcare providers meet standards and optimise outcomes for people eligible for CHC funding.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses
A Supportive, Confidential Community
The CHC Agency Nurses Network is more than a mailing list – it is a supportive, private community where only nurses truly understand nurses.
Through confidential, invite-only social media groups, our members share professional issues 24/7/365, discuss complex CHC cases, and offer peer support on the realities and pressures of agency nursing in continuing healthcare.
Regular Events & Long-Term Professional Relationships
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together for education, networking and peer support.
Many members in our network build strong professional relationships that often become lasting friendships, providing a powerful support system throughout their nursing careers.
Welcoming New CHC Agency Nurses
We actively welcome new CHC agency nurses into our network, connecting them with private social media groups, events and learning opportunities.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, our network helps you grow your knowledge, expand your contacts and make your work life easier.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Multidisciplinary Teams
In-Depth Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training
Our Continuing Healthcare training is designed specifically for CHC agency nurses, case managers and MDT members who need a robust understanding of CHC eligibility, assessments, care planning and funding processes.
Delivered by experienced CHC practitioners, our training sessions focus on practical application, National Framework compliance and best practice, helping staff gain confidence in completing Checklists, DSTs and person-centred CHC care plans.
Community CHC & DoLS Process Training
We provide specialist training on Community CHC processes and the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) application pathway, ensuring nurses and teams can manage community-based, complex packages of care safely and lawfully.
Our training covers documentation standards, criteria evaluation, best-interest decisions and effective communication with ICBs and local authorities to reduce delays and ensure individuals receive the funding and support they are entitled to.
Pre-CQC Readiness, Quality Reviews & Compliance Support
Pre-CQC Assessments for CHC Services
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides pre-CQC assessment support to organisations delivering CHC-funded care, including domiciliary care providers, supported living services and care homes.
We review your policies, procedures, documentation and care delivery systems against CQC key questions and CHC expectations, highlighting gaps and providing clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen compliance.
Optimising CHC Care Delivery & Governance
Our consultancy services help providers optimise their CHC care models, with a focus on person-centred practice, robust clinical governance, and evidence of outcomes.
By improving documentation, communication pathways and review processes, we support organisations in achieving sustainable quality improvement and reducing the risk of non-compliance with CQC and commissioning standards.
Specialist Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) under CHC
Person-Centred LD Support & Complex Care Planning
We provide specialist support for individuals with learning disabilities (LD) and complex needs who are eligible for, or being considered for, NHS Continuing Healthcare funding.
Our nurses and associates help develop holistic support plans that promote dignity, independence and safety, working closely with families, advocates and multi-agency teams to ensure the care is person-centred, proportionate and rights-based.
CHC Case Management & Care Coordination Consultancy
Patient-Centred CHC Case Management
We offer case management consultancy for CHC patients, helping providers and teams coordinate complex packages of care across multiple agencies and disciplines.
Our approach supports seamless care journeys that respect each person’s preferences, ensuring care plans are clinically robust, legally compliant and aligned with the ethos of person-centred continuing healthcare.
Resource Optimisation for CHC Packages
The CHC Nurses Agency Network assists organisations in using resources efficiently while maintaining or improving quality in CHC-funded care packages.
We work with providers to reduce care gaps, strengthen communication with commissioners and ensure individuals receive the right level of support based on accurate assessment and review.
Events, Workshops & Continuous Professional Development
CHC-Focused Events & Peer-Led Learning
We host and participate in CHC-focused events, webinars and workshops designed for agency nurses and CHC providers who want to stay at the leading edge of practice.
These sessions cover policy updates, case law, documentation standards, complex case discussions and practical problem-solving, with plenty of opportunities for networking and peer learning.
Staying Ahead of CHC Policy & Practice Changes
Our network keeps members informed about changes to CHC policy, the National Framework, CQC requirements and wider health and social care developments impacting continuing healthcare.
By engaging with our ongoing updates and resources, agency nurses and organisations can adapt quickly to evolving standards, reducing risk and improving outcomes.
