CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support, Training & Community for CHC Nurses
The UK Network for NHS & Agency Nurses Working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy service for nurses and healthcare organisations involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK.
We connect CHC agency nurses, CHC teams and healthcare providers, offering specialist training, peer support, expert guidance and a trusted space to share real-world practice.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional impact of CHC nursing.
Our private, invite-only network brings together over 500 experienced CHC agency nursing professionals who share knowledge 24/7/365, support each other and help raise standards of care for adults and children in receipt of NHS Continuing Healthcare.
A Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Networking, Peer Support & Safe Discussion Space
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a relaxed but professional place to connect with other CHC nurses who understand your daily challenges.
Through confidential, invite-only social media groups and online forums, members openly discuss clinical issues, CHC funding queries, documentation, workload pressures and complex cases in a safe, non-judgemental space.
Many nurses in our network build long-term professional relationships and personal friendships, often staying in touch and supporting one another for years, no matter which agency, CCG/ICB or provider they work with.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Online Sessions
We run regular online and in-person events for CHC nurses, including clinical updates, CHC assessment workshops, networking meet-ups and informal wellbeing sessions.
These events help you stay current with NHS Continuing Healthcare policy, share best practice and feel part of a wider professional community, even if you work largely on your own in the community.
New members are warmly welcomed into our CHC Agency Nurses Network and invited to join our private social media groups, live Q&A sessions and specialist webinars tailored to CHC nursing and complex care.
Specialist Training for CHC & Community Nurses
CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Funding Process Training
We provide in-depth, practical training for nurses on the full NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) pathway, including the Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST), multidisciplinary team (MDT) processes and CHC funding decisions.
Our courses demystify CHC criteria, documentation and funding streams so nurses can confidently support patients, families and commissioners.
Training content is grounded in current national CHC frameworks and local ICB processes, enabling you to reduce errors, improve documentation quality and help secure appropriate funding for eligible individuals.
Clinical Skills, Care Planning & Regulatory Compliance
Beyond CHC funding, we offer specialist clinical and governance training focused on complex care in the community, including care planning, risk assessment, documentation standards and safeguarding.
Our programmes support nurses delivering one-to-one CHC packages, domiciliary care and residential or nursing home support.
Each course is tailored to the realities of CHC practice, helping nurses translate theory into safe, effective everyday care that meets CQC, NMC and NHS standards.
Continuing Professional Development (CPD) for CHC Nurses
All our training supports ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD), helping CHC nurses and agency staff keep their knowledge current and their practice evidence-based.
We focus on real-life case studies, reflective practice and practical tools that can be used immediately in clinical settings.
By engaging with our CPD opportunities, agency nurses enhance their employability, strengthen their portfolios and deliver consistently higher standards of care within NHS Continuing Healthcare packages.
Expert Consultancy for CHC Providers & Organisations
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement for CHC Services
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can be particularly challenging in CHC and complex care services.
We offer pre-CQC assessments, documentation reviews and quality improvement guidance specifically tailored to providers delivering CHC-funded packages and community-based complex care.
Our consultants evaluate your policies, procedures, risk management, person-centred care planning and governance, then provide clear, actionable recommendations to help you meet or exceed CQC standards.
CHC Case Management, Transitions & Pathway Optimisation
Transitions—such as discharge from hospital into a CHC-funded community package, or movement between care settings—are critical moments in the CHC pathway.
We support organisations and nurses with expert case management advice, transition planning and pathway redesign to minimise risk and maintain continuity of care.
Our consultancy focuses on person-centred planning, clear communication with families, robust documentation and multidisciplinary working, leading to smoother transitions and improved patient outcomes.
Specialist Support for Learning Disability & Complex Needs in CHC
Person-Centred Care & Support Planning for LD within CHC
Many individuals eligible for CHC have learning disabilities, autism and/or complex behavioural needs.
We work alongside families, CHC nurses and care teams to develop personalised support plans that prioritise independence, dignity, communication and long-term quality of life.
Our approach is fully person-centred, incorporating evidence-based practice, positive behaviour support and reasonable adjustments to enable safer, more effective care in community settings.
Training for Learning Disability & Autism in CHC Packages
We provide targeted training for CHC agency nurses and support staff working with people with learning disabilities and autism within CHC-funded packages.
Topics include communication strategies, capacity and consent, risk management, PBS-informed support and creating predictable, low-arousal environments.
This specialist training helps organisations deliver inclusive, rights-based care that aligns with current legislation, best practice guidance and CQC expectations for LD and autism services.
CHC Events, Workshops & Knowledge-Sharing
Keeping Up-to-Date with CHC Policy & Practice
CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in a range of events focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare, including policy updates, case law discussions and practical problem-solving workshops.
These sessions help nurses and providers stay ahead of changes in CHC frameworks, documentation requirements and commissioning expectations.
Members gain access to expert insights, real-world examples and current best practice, ensuring that their CHC practice remains compliant, defensible and patient-centred.
Building Professional Networks Across CHC & Complex Care
Through our events and online community, CHC nurses can connect with peers, senior clinicians, commissioners and providers from across the UK.
This wide professional network creates opportunities for collaboration, mentoring, clinical supervision and career development in the CHC and complex care sectors.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals actively shares knowledge, resources and practical tips every day, supporting each other through the realities of frontline CHC work.
