CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Support & Professional Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to supporting agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and related settings.
We combine expert CHC training, advisory services and peer support to help nurses deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care while building rewarding careers in CHC.
Our network understands the pressure, responsibility and complexity that come with agency nursing in CHC, and we exist to make your professional life easier, more connected and better informed.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Relax, Connect and Share with Nurses Who Understand CHC
Only another nurse truly understands the realities of shift work, clinical risk and the daily emotional load of agency nursing in Continuing Healthcare.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you a safe space to relax, talk openly and share challenges with colleagues who “get it” because they do the same work you do.
Many of our members say the network has become their go‑to place for advice, reassurance and practical solutions when working in complex CHC environments.
A Growing Community of Over 500 CHC Agency Professionals
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stays in touch daily through confidential, invite‑only social media groups.
Members support each other with clinical questions, documentation tips, CHC eligibility queries, and real‑world advice on working with different ICBs, CCGs, care homes and community teams.
Many nurses in our community form long‑term friendships and professional partnerships that continue for years, far beyond individual contracts or assignments.
Regular CHC Events, Meet‑Ups and Continuing Professional Development
Bringing the CHC Agency Nurse Community Together
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring our network of CHC agency nurses together for education, support and social connection.
These sessions include CHC study days, Q&A clinics, peer‑led discussions, reflective practice groups and informal meet‑ups designed to strengthen your clinical confidence and professional network.
Our events give you the chance to learn from other experienced CHC practitioners, share practice insights and stay ahead of sector changes.
Ongoing CPD Focused on CHC Best Practice
We design our events around current CHC guidance, national frameworks, local policies and emerging best practice to ensure your Continuing Healthcare knowledge stays up to date.
Topics often include CHC assessments and checklists, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, case management approaches, legal and ethical issues, and working effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
By attending our events, CHC agency nurses gain practical, CPD‑relevant learning that can be applied immediately in everyday practice.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Teams
Develop Your Expertise in Continuing Healthcare Processes
Our specialised CHC training courses are created specifically for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, Funded Nursing Care (FNC) and complex care environments.
We focus on CHC eligibility assessments, evidence gathering, care planning, documentation standards and funding procedures so that you can work confidently and compliantly in any CHC setting.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand both the clinical realities and the legal framework underpinning Continuing Healthcare.
Flexible, Tailored Learning for Different Levels of CHC Experience
Whether you are completely new to CHC or an experienced nurse looking for advanced or refresher training, CHC Nurses Agency Network can provide a learning pathway that matches your current skills.
We offer flexible delivery options, including interactive workshops, webinars, online modules and small‑group teaching to suit agency nurses’ varying shift patterns and availability.
Our goal is to build a confident, knowledgeable workforce able to navigate CHC regulations, paperwork and multi‑agency working with ease.
CHC Consultancy and Advisory Support for Healthcare Organisations
Helping Providers Strengthen Their CHC Practice
In addition to supporting individual nurses, CHC Nurses Agency Network works with care homes, community providers and other organisations that deliver care to CHC‑funded patients.
We provide independent advice on CHC processes, documentation, communication with ICBs and best practice for supporting individuals with complex health needs.
Our consultancy helps organisations build robust systems around assessment, eligibility, reviews and appeals so that CHC arrangements are safe, transparent and sustainable.
Pre‑CQC and Quality Improvement Support
We understand that CQC inspections often scrutinise how providers manage CHC‑funded residents, clinical risk and multidisciplinary working.
Our team can support you with pre‑CQC CHC‑focused reviews, highlighting gaps in documentation, care planning and communication and offering clear, practical recommendations.
By aligning your CHC processes with both national guidance and regulatory expectations, you can demonstrate high standards of care and governance during inspection.
Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs in CHC
Person‑Centred Care Planning for People with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC agency nurses work with people who have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism or complex behavioural needs, often within community and residential settings.
We share best practice, templates and peer experience to help you develop person‑centred, strengths‑based care plans that promote choice, independence and dignity.
Through our network, nurses can discuss real‑life scenarios and seek guidance on balancing safety, legal frameworks and quality of life for people with LD and complex health needs.
Promoting Safety, Rights and Quality of Life
Our guidance and peer input emphasise evidence‑based, least‑restrictive approaches that safeguard individuals’ rights while managing risk in a thoughtful way.
We support nurses to work collaboratively with families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams so that CHC packages genuinely meet the person’s holistic needs.
With the right knowledge and support, agency nurses can play a central role in improving long‑term outcomes and wellbeing for people with LD under CHC.
Case Management Insight and Support for Complex CHC Cases
Coordinating Care Across Multiple Providers
CHC‑funded individuals often require input from multiple providers and disciplines, and agency nurses are frequently at the heart of this coordination.
Through our network, you can learn practical case management approaches for complex packages, including communication strategies, escalation pathways and record‑keeping standards.
We promote person‑centred coordination that keeps the individual and their family informed, involved and supported throughout their CHC journey.
Improving Outcomes and Efficient Use of Resources
By sharing best practice on care planning, delegation, risk assessment and review processes, we help agency nurses contribute to safer, more efficient CHC packages.
Better coordination reduces duplication, prevents avoidable hospital admissions and supports timely responses to changes in need.
Our members consistently report that network support has enhanced their confidence in handling complex cases and navigating challenging situations.
