CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses
Your UK Community for CHC Training, Networking and Professional Support
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service for nurses and healthcare professionals working in
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) across the UK.
We bring together highly skilled agency nurses, case managers and CHC specialists to share expertise, build connections and raise standards of patient care in all care settings.
Created by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the pressures, complexity and responsibility that come with agency nursing and CHC work.
We provide practical training, peer support, CHC-focused events and expert consultancy services to help you navigate CHC assessments, improve outcomes for patients, and grow your professional nursing career with confidence.
With a core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals, we offer access to private social media groups, regular events, and specialist resources – all designed to make your professional life easier, more connected, and better informed.
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses
In-Depth CHC Courses for Frontline Practice
Our CHC training programmes are designed specifically for agency nurses and healthcare professionals who support patients through the
NHS Continuing Healthcare funding process.
We cover eligibility criteria, the Decision Support Tool (DST), Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings, care planning and review processes, so you can confidently advocate for patients and work effectively with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs).
All courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurses and practitioners who understand real-world challenges, common pitfalls and best practice in CHC assessments and case management.
Practical, Evidence-Based Learning
Our sessions are interactive and practical, using real-case scenarios from community nursing, care homes, hospitals and complex care packages.
We emphasise person-centred care, lawful CHC decision-making, robust documentation and multi-agency collaboration, so you leave with skills you can apply immediately in your day-to-day nursing work.
Flexible Training for Different Healthcare Settings
We tailor CHC training content for acute hospitals, community teams, care homes, domiciliary care providers and agency nurse teams.
Whether you need introductory CHC training, refresher sessions or advanced workshops on complex cases and appeals, the CHC Nurses Agency Network can design a programme that fits your setting and your team.
A Supportive Network and Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups and 24/7 Peer Support
We maintain several confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses can share professional issues, ask questions and support each other 24/7, 365 days a year.
Only nurses really understand the daily pressures, tough decisions and emotional load of clinical work – and our community gives you a safe place to talk, learn and connect.
From quick clinical queries to complex CHC funding dilemmas, you will find experienced peers ready to help, advise and share their own best practice.
Building Lasting Professional Contacts and Friendships
Many nurses who join the CHC Nurses Agency Network build strong long-term relationships and friendships that last for years.
Our supportive environment helps you connect with like-minded professionals, mentors and collaborators who understand the realities of agency work and Continuing Healthcare nursing.
Whether you are new to CHC or highly experienced, you are welcome to join our network and become part of a growing community of specialist CHC agency nurses across the UK.
CHC Events, Workshops and Networking Opportunities
Regular CHC-Focused Events and Updates
We run regular CHC-related events, from online webinars and workshops to in-person networking sessions for agency nurses and healthcare professionals.
These events cover policy updates, case law changes, practical guidance on CHC assessments, documentation, MDT working and complex case management.
Attending our events helps you stay ahead of national CHC guidance, ICB practices and best practice in person-centred care and decision-making.
Collaborative Learning Environment
Our events are deliberately collaborative, giving you time to share experiences with other CHC nurses, case managers, social workers and healthcare leaders.
We encourage open discussion, Q&A sessions and scenario-based learning, so every attendee leaves with practical strategies for improving both patient outcomes and professional confidence.
Expert CHC Consultancy for Nurses and Organisations
Support with Complex CHC Case Management
The CHC Nurses Agency Network includes highly experienced CHC case managers who can offer one-to-one or organisational consultancy on complex cases.
We help with evidence gathering, clinical rationales, documentation, appeals, reviews and robust care planning for individuals with high health needs.
Our holistic, person-centred approach ensures that clinical, psychological, social and safeguarding needs are fully considered in every CHC case we support.
Pre-CQC and Quality Improvement Support
For providers and teams employing agency nurses in CHC-funded packages, we offer pre-CQC support and quality improvement consultancy.
Our experts can review your policies, CHC documentation, care plans, risk assessments and governance processes to highlight strengths and identify areas that require improvement before inspection.
We then provide clear, actionable recommendations and training to help you meet and maintain CQC standards in relation to CHC-funded care.
Support for People with Complex Needs and Learning Disabilities
Person-Centred Care Planning for CHC and LD
Many of our CHC agency nurses specialise in supporting individuals with learning disabilities (LD), autism and complex physical or mental health needs.
We promote evidence-based, person-centred care planning that emphasises dignity, independence, choice and positive risk-taking within safe boundaries.
Our community regularly shares resources, templates and practical strategies to help nurses deliver safe, compassionate and rights-based care in line with national LD and CHC guidance.
Improving Safety and Quality of Life
By focusing on communication, environment, behaviour support, physical health monitoring and meaningful activities, our network supports nurses to enhance both quality of life and safety for the people they care for.
We encourage reflective practice and peer discussion so nurses feel supported when managing challenging situations or high-risk care packages.
