CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and healthcare training across the UK. We bring together expert CHC nurses, healthcare providers and commissioners to improve the quality, safety and consistency of care in all Continuing Healthcare settings.
We understand the unique pressures agency nurses and healthcare organisations face – from CHC assessments and complex care planning to regulatory compliance, funding decisions and day-to-day caseload management. Our services are designed to support you with practical training, expert consultancy and a strong, confidential professional network.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a thriving community of more than 500 Continuing Healthcare agency nurses who share knowledge, experiences and support 24/7/365.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the emotional and practical demands of nursing. That is why we have created a safe, confidential space where CHC nurses can connect, debrief and develop together.
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gain access to invite-only social media groups where we openly discuss professional issues, clinical challenges and CHC-related queries in a confidential environment.
Our network encourages peer-to-peer learning, mutual support and professional reflection, helping agency nurses feel less isolated and more confident in their roles.
Regular Events, Meetups & CPD Opportunities
We run regular CHC-focused events, webinars, workshops and informal meetups to bring our community together, both online and in person where possible.
These events are designed to help nurses stay up to date with Continuing Healthcare policy changes, clinical best practice and professional development opportunities, while also allowing space to network, relax and make lasting friendships.
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Nurses & Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides tailored Continuing Healthcare training to upskill agency nurses, care providers and healthcare teams working in CHC and complex care environments.
Our programmes are delivered by experienced CHC nurse trainers who use real-life case studies, evidence-based practice and up-to-date guidance from NHS frameworks and national policy.
CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Funding Training
One of our core services is in-depth CHC eligibility and assessment training, including the National Framework, Decision Support Tool (DST) and CHC funding processes.
We help nurses and organisations understand how to complete high-quality assessments, contribute to MDT meetings, interpret CHC criteria and navigate the complex funding landscape with confidence and accuracy.
Training in Care Planning, Case Management & Safeguarding
Our training extends beyond eligibility to include complex care planning, case management, risk assessment, safeguarding and handover procedures in CHC settings.
We focus on real-world skills such as writing robust, person-centred care plans, ensuring safe transitions of care, recognising abuse or neglect, and coordinating multi-disciplinary input for optimal outcomes.
Expert CHC Consultancy for Healthcare Organisations
Alongside our network and training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist consultancy for NHS organisations, care providers and independent sector services involved in Continuing Healthcare.
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants support you to improve clinical quality, governance, documentation, compliance and efficiency across your CHC services.
Pre-CQC & Quality Assurance Support for CHC Services
We offer pre-CQC assessments, mock inspections and quality audits focused on CHC and complex care delivery, helping you benchmark against the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and local commissioning standards.
Our consultants provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen your policies, care plans, record-keeping and governance ahead of inspections or contract reviews.
Person-Centred Care Plans for Complex Needs & Learning Disabilities
We specialise in creating and reviewing person-centred care and support plans for individuals with complex health needs, including those with learning disabilities, autism, long-term conditions and challenging behaviours.
Working collaboratively with families, commissioners and care teams, we ensure that each plan promotes independence, dignity, safety and quality of life while meeting CHC funding and regulatory requirements.
Community CHC, DoLS & Case Management Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also supports organisations and practitioners involved in community Continuing Healthcare, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) processes and long-term case management.
We help ensure that individuals with CHC packages receive consistent, coordinated and lawful care in the community.
Guidance on DoLS Processes in Community Settings
Our team can provide training and guidance around DoLS applications, capacity assessments and best interest decisions within community CHC packages, supporting you to remain compliant with legal frameworks.
We make complex legal and funding processes more understandable, giving nurses and providers the confidence to advocate for safe, rights-respecting care.
CHC Case Management & Multidisciplinary Coordination
Through our expert case management support, we help ensure that people funded through CHC receive joined-up, person-centred care that responds to changing needs.
Our consultants can advise on MDT working, communication pathways, escalation processes, incident review and documentation, to enhance safety and outcomes for individuals with complex needs.
Professional Development & Career Support for CHC Agency Nurses
We are committed to helping agency nurses build rewarding, sustainable careers in Continuing Healthcare by providing structured learning, mentoring and networking.
Our network offers opportunities to develop specialist CHC expertise, enhance your portfolio and increase your value to agencies, providers and commissioners.
Mentoring, Supervision & Reflective Practice
Through our community and events, CHC nurses can access informal mentoring, peer supervision and reflective practice opportunities, helping them process complex cases and maintain professional resilience.
We actively encourage work–life balance, emotional wellbeing and safe boundaries, recognising how demanding CHC and agency work can be.
Networking That Leads to Long-Term Professional Relationships
Many nurses within our network not only develop professional contacts but also become lifelong friends and collaborators, staying connected even when they move between agencies or roles.
