CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community
Connecting, Supporting and Developing CHC Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and complex care. We combine specialist CHC training, independent consultancy and a strong peer-support community to help nurses and healthcare organisations deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network offers a place to relax, connect and grow professionally, while staying fully up to date with CHC frameworks, CQC expectations and evolving best practice in complex care delivery.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency and Continuing Healthcare Nurses
Our Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training programmes are designed specifically for nurses working in fast-paced agency and community environments, where accurate assessments, robust care planning and regulatory compliance are crucial.
From CHC basics to advanced case management, our courses cover eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) processes, care coordination, record keeping and multidisciplinary working, all aligned with current NHS CHC guidance and CQC requirements.
Practical, Evidence-Based Learning You Can Use Immediately
All training is delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants who still work in practice and understand frontline challenges. We focus on real-world scenarios, case studies and documentation you can use the very next shift, helping to reduce errors, improve patient outcomes and build your confidence as a CHC professional.
Programmes can be tailored for agency nurses, care home staff, community teams and complex care services, ensuring content is relevant to your setting, caseload and level of experience.
Independent Consultancy for CHC Providers and Care Organisations
Alongside training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist consultancy to support providers delivering Continuing Healthcare, complex community packages and agency nursing services.
We work with small care homes, domiciliary agencies and larger organisations to strengthen governance, CHC processes and quality of care, ensuring your services are safe, efficient and inspection-ready.
Pre-CQC and Quality Assurance Support for CHC Services
Our nurse consultants carry out pre-CQC assessments and quality audits focusing on CHC-related care, including care plans, risk assessments, capacity and consent, record keeping and escalation procedures.
We identify gaps, provide clear, actionable recommendations and support you to implement improvements so that your CHC services are compliant, consistent and aligned with current regulatory expectations.
Supporting Safe Transitions and Complex CHC Case Management
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and other settings are high-risk moments for people eligible for CHC. We help providers and nurses implement robust transition pathways, ensuring clear communication, safe handovers and continuity of person-centred care.
Our team can also provide independent CHC case management expertise, advising on complex cases, high-cost packages and multi-agency working to promote safety, value for money and positive outcomes.
Person-Centred Care Planning for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
The network includes nurses highly experienced in learning disabilities, autism and complex behaviour support, who can support providers to develop truly person-centred CHC care and support plans.
We work in partnership with families, MDTs and frontline staff to promote independence, dignity and choice, while managing risk and meeting legal and regulatory duties.
A Thriving Professional Network for CHC and Agency Nurses
A Supportive Community That Understands Agency and CHC Nursing
As every nurse knows, only another nurse really understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional impact of our work. The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to talk openly, share challenges and celebrate wins with colleagues who truly get it.
We host private, invite-only social media groups where more than 500 CHC and agency nursing professionals support each other 24/7/365, share opportunities and discuss clinical and professional issues in a confidential space.
Regular Events, Learning Sessions and Networking
We run regular online and in-person events including CHC workshops, Q&A sessions, peer supervision, panel discussions and informal meet-ups, helping you stay connected and informed wherever you work in the UK.
Many members build long-term friendships and career connections through the network, gaining informal mentorship, job leads and daily support that goes far beyond standard agency relationships.
Career Development and Professional Growth in CHC
Whether you are new to CHC, moving into agency work for the first time, or an experienced complex-care nurse, we help you develop your nursing career with confidence.
Members benefit from shared resources, CV tips, updates on CHC roles, insight into working with CHC teams and commissioners, and guidance on building a sustainable, flexible career that fits your life as well as your professional ambitions.
