CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Support & Consultancy for Agency Nurses
Specialist CHC Training, Community & Consultancy for Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to supporting agency nurses and healthcare organisations involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy and a strong professional network to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Our private network of around 500 CHC-experienced agency nurses connects 24/7 via confidential, invite-only social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and structured professional development opportunities.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced nurse assessor, we help you build confidence, improve outcomes and progress your CHC nursing career.
Why Join the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional impact of frontline care, especially within Continuing Healthcare.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, supportive space to connect with like‑minded professionals who face the same challenges and expectations every day.
Members of our network regularly keep in touch, share advice and discuss real‑world CHC cases and professional issues.
Many nurses form strong friendships and long‑term professional relationships that continue for years, creating a sense of camaraderie and mutual support that is often missing in agency work.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
We host confidential, invite‑only social media groups where CHC agency nurses can ask questions, share best practice, discuss policy changes and seek support at any time, day or night.
These groups are moderated to ensure professional standards, confidentiality and a positive, solution‑focused culture.
From quick CHC eligibility queries to complex case discussions, you will always find another nurse who understands your situation and can offer practical, experience‑based advice.
Regular Events, Networking & CPD Opportunities
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events, including workshops, webinars, networking sessions and peer‑learning circles focused on Continuing Healthcare, care planning and regulatory compliance.
These events offer valuable Continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities and help you stay up to date with the latest CHC policies and best practice.
Our events are designed to be relaxed, practical and interactive—giving agency nurses the chance to learn from experts, share experiences and build strong, supportive professional connections.
Specialist CHC Training Services for Healthcare Professionals
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Courses for Nurses & Multidisciplinary Teams
Build Expert Knowledge in NHS Continuing Healthcare
Our specialist CHC training courses equip nurses and healthcare professionals with a clear, in‑depth understanding of the CHC process, including assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, funding criteria and appeals.
Training is grounded in current NHS National Framework guidance and real‑world practice, helping you to feel confident and compliant when dealing with complex CHC cases.
Courses are suitable for CHC nurse assessors, agency nurses, community nurses, managers and multidisciplinary team members who need to understand CHC eligibility, documentation and decision‑making frameworks.
Customised CHC Training for Community, Agency & Care Teams
We design tailored training for community teams, agency nurses, care home staff and other professionals involved in Continuing Healthcare assessments and care delivery.
Sessions use real‑life scenarios and case studies to build practical skills in evidence gathering, documentation, clinical reasoning and funding applications.
Through interactive workshops and e‑learning, participants develop a detailed understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks governing NHS Continuing Healthcare, enabling more robust decision‑making and better outcomes for patients and organisations.
Support with Transitions of Care & CHC Care Planning
Safe and Seamless Transitions for Patients
Transitions between hospital, home, community settings and care homes are critical points in the CHC journey.
We provide guidance and training on planning and coordinating these transitions to ensure continuity of care, safety and clear communication between all involved professionals and families.
Our approach reduces delays, minimises risk and supports person‑centred discharge planning, particularly for individuals with complex and long‑term conditions who may be eligible for CHC funding.
Person‑Centred Care Planning & Learning Disabilities Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network promotes holistic, person‑centred care planning for people with complex needs, including individuals with learning disabilities and autism.
We support nurses and organisations in developing detailed support plans that focus on independence, dignity, communication needs, behaviour support and quality of life.
By integrating clinical, social and environmental needs, our care planning approach ensures that each person receives bespoke, respectful, outcomes‑focused support in line with best practice and regulatory expectations.
Organisational Support, Quality Assurance & Compliance
Pre‑CQC Readiness Support for Providers Working with CHC
Preparing Services for CQC Inspection and CHC Scrutiny
We support care providers, agencies and community services to prepare for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections, with a particular focus on CHC‑related practice, documentation and governance.
Our consultancy reviews your policies, procedures, clinical records and care plans against current standards and offers clear, actionable recommendations for improvement.
This proactive support helps services strengthen their quality assurance systems, demonstrate safe, effective and well‑led care, and show inspectors robust processes around CHC assessments, reviews and funding decisions.
Case Management, CHC Coordination & Resource Optimisation
Person‑Centred, Efficient CHC Case Management
Our experienced CHC professionals and case managers can advise on complex case coordination, helping organisations and nursing teams to manage high‑acuity individuals who require Continuing Healthcare funding.
We focus on person‑centred planning, risk management, multidisciplinary collaboration and efficient use of resources.
By improving coordination between community teams, CHC panels, families and providers, we support safer, more sustainable packages of care that meet both clinical needs and regulatory expectations.
Training, Workshops & Events for Continuous Professional Development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly organises and contributes to specialist CHC events, including workshops, seminars, Q&A sessions and networking forums.
These events keep nurses and managers informed about evolving CHC policies, legal updates, funding frameworks and best practice in assessment and review.
Our CPD‑focused activities help you maintain up‑to‑date knowledge, strengthen your portfolio and demonstrate ongoing commitment to professional development in Continuing Healthcare.
Expertise, Experience & a Nurse‑Led Approach
Run by Nurses, for Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is built and led by nurses who have worked extensively within NHS Continuing Healthcare, commissioning and frontline care.
This lived experience informs everything we do—from our training content and consultancy advice to the way we facilitate peer support and community spaces.
Because we understand the pressures and realities of agency and CHC nursing, we focus on practical solutions that work in busy, real‑world care environments, not just on paper.
Committed to Improving CHC Quality and Patient Outcomes
Our mission is to improve the quality of Continuing Healthcare practice across the UK by empowering nurses and providers with the knowledge, skills and support they need.
Through education, peer networking and expert consultancy, we help ensure that people with complex needs receive fair, timely and person‑centred CHC assessments and care.
By investing in your CHC expertise and joining a strong professional network, you are better equipped to advocate for your patients, protect your professional registration and deliver high‑quality care.
