CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Agency Nurses
A Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations that rely on them. We combine specialist CHC training, consultancy, case management and peer support with a thriving professional network that understands both the clinical and emotional demands of nursing.
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, complexity, and responsibility that come with the role. Our network connects like‑minded CHC agency nurses across the UK, helping them share knowledge, build careers, reduce isolation and deliver safer, more consistent care for patients with complex needs.
Alongside our community focus, we support NHS, private and community providers with expert CHC consultancy, including eligibility assessments, compliant documentation, care planning, and service improvement for CHC-funded packages.
What We Offer at CHC Nurses Agency Network
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Teams
Our Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training programmes are designed specifically for agency nurses and multidisciplinary teams working in CHC-funded care. We cover National Framework guidance, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, eligibility criteria, care planning, appeals, and funding processes to boost confidence and competence in real-world practice.
Training sessions are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and can be tailored for individual nurses, agencies, care homes, domiciliary care providers and commissioning teams. The focus is on practical skills, legal compliance and consistent documentation that stands up to scrutiny.
CHC Consultancy, Case Management & Care Coordination
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides expert case management and consultancy for complex Continuing Healthcare packages. We work with patients, families, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), providers and agencies to ensure safe, person-centred and cost‑effective care.
Our services include holistic assessments, bespoke care plans, multi‑agency coordination, clinical oversight and regulatory alignment. This reduces fragmentation, improves outcomes, and helps teams navigate the complexities of CHC eligibility, reviews, and appeals with confidence.
Pre‑CQC Assessment & Healthcare Compliance Support
We help organisations that employ or rely on CHC agency nurses prepare for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections. Our pre‑CQC assessment service benchmarks your current practice against regulatory standards and CHC-specific expectations.
Our nurse consultants identify strengths, gaps and risks, then provide a clear action plan, policies guidance, documentation review and practical recommendations. This proactive approach supports safer care, stronger governance and more successful CQC outcomes.
Transitions of Care in CHC Settings
Transitions of care—from hospital to home, home to care home, or between providers—are particularly complex in CHC-funded cases. We offer structured support to make these transitions safe, well‑coordinated and patient‑centred.
Our team helps design and oversee transition plans, risk management strategies, medication handovers, equipment arrangements and communication pathways, ensuring continuity for individuals with highly complex clinical and behavioural needs.
Person‑Centred Care for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
The CHC Nurses Agency Network has significant expertise in Learning Disabilities (LD), Autism, mental health and other complex conditions frequently seen in CHC-funded packages. We champion person‑centred, rights‑based care that respects each individual’s preferences, communication style and capacity.
Our nurses and consultants work with families, advocates and care teams to develop bespoke support plans, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) approaches and risk‑managed strategies that promote independence, dignity and safeguarding in all settings.
A Professional Network & Peer‑Support Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Beyond consultancy and training, we are a thriving professional community of around 500 CHC agency nurses connected via confidential, invite‑only social media groups and regular events. Our network is a place to relax, de‑stress and talk openly with nurses who genuinely understand the job.
Members share clinical insights, policy updates, job opportunities, reflective practice, and emotional support 24‑7‑365. Many nurses in our network form lasting friendships and professional collaborations that span years and multiple contracts.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
Our network and services are led by experienced CHC practitioners who have worked across NHS, agency and independent sectors. We understand the realities of CHC work—from community visits and night shifts to funding disputes and safeguarding concerns—and shape our support around what nurses actually need.
Tailored Support for Agencies & Organisations
Every organisation using CHC agency nurses operates differently. We provide bespoke training, consultancy and improvement support that aligns with your service model, workforce mix and local ICB expectations. This flexibility ensures maximum impact and tangible improvements in CHC practice.
A Safe Space to Share Professional Challenges
Nursing can be isolating, especially in agency roles. Our private online groups and events offer a safe space to discuss clinical dilemmas, workplace issues, professional boundaries, and self‑care without judgement. Members often report feeling more supported, informed and resilient in their roles.
Ongoing Professional Development & Career Growth
We are committed to continuous professional development (CPD) for CHC nurses. Through our webinars, workshops, peer discussions and shared resources, members keep up to date with legislation, CHC policy changes, best practice, documentation standards and emerging clinical guidance.
This helps agency nurses strengthen their portfolios, appraisal evidence and clinical confidence, improving both employability and job satisfaction.
Events, Workshops & Online Community
Regular CHC‑Focused Events & Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together. These include training sessions, Q&A panels, case study discussions, reflective practice groups and informal meet‑ups where nurses can connect and learn.
Our events help members stay ahead of CHC Framework updates, ICB commissioning changes, safeguarding guidance and other developments that directly affect their practice and patients.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
New members are welcomed into our private social media groups, where CHC nurses can ask questions, share experiences, celebrate successes and access real‑time support. These invite‑only spaces are moderated to maintain confidentiality, professionalism and psychological safety.
Many nurses check in daily to seek advice, debrief after shifts, swap resources and keep up with CHC news, making the network an integral part of their working life.
