CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Consultancy for Agency Nurses

Expert Support for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy supporting agency nurses and healthcare providers working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care settings across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy, and a strong peer support network to help nurses deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care.

Built and led by experienced CHC nurses, our network understands the pressures of agency work, complex CHC assessments, and regulatory expectations. We provide tailored guidance, pre‑CQC support, case management expertise and regular networking events designed to make life easier for CHC agency nurses and the organisations that rely on them.

Whether you are an individual nurse, an agency, a care home, or a community provider, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to help you strengthen CHC practice, improve patient outcomes and stay compliant with national standards.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional, private community of over 500 CHC specialist agency nurses who connect, learn and share best practice 24/7 via invite‑only social media groups and in‑person events. It is a place to relax, de‑stress and talk honestly with people who understand the realities of nursing and CHC work.

Our members use the network to solve professional challenges, gain CHC knowledge, discuss complex cases and build long‑term friendships with like‑minded nurses. Alongside the community element, we also provide formal training and consultancy services to healthcare organisations seeking CHC expertise.

Core Services from CHC Nurses Agency Network

1. Support with Transitions of Care in CHC Settings

Transitions of care are high‑risk moments, especially for patients funded under NHS Continuing Healthcare or moving between hospital, community and care home settings. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers to plan and manage smooth transitions that protect safety, dignity and continuity of care.

Our experienced CHC nurses offer guidance on discharge planning, handover documentation, multi‑disciplinary communication and person‑centred risk management. We help you develop practical, robust transition pathways that reduce delays, avoidable readmissions and unnecessary distress for patients and families.

2. Pre‑CQC Support & Quality Readiness for CHC and Community Services

For providers and agencies, being ready for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection is essential. Our network offers pre‑CQC support led by highly experienced CHC and community nurses who understand what inspectors look for in relation to CHC processes, documentation and outcomes.

We can review your policies, care plans, risk assessments, MAR charts and CHC‑related procedures and highlight gaps in compliance. Following this review, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen quality, governance and evidence, helping you demonstrate safe, effective, well‑led CHC practice to the CQC and other regulators.

3. Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Teams

The CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers highly targeted Continuing Healthcare training to nurses, agencies and organisations that work with CHC‑funded patients. All our sessions are delivered by CHC expert nurses with extensive field experience.

Our training programmes can include:

• Introduction to NHS Continuing Healthcare – eligibility, decision support tool (DST), multidisciplinary team (MDT) process and key terminology.
• Advanced CHC Practice – complex assessments, appeals, fast‑track funding, commissioning and care coordination.
• Care Planning for CHC Patients – person‑centred planning, risk assessment, outcomes documentation and clinical record‑keeping.
• Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) Applications – legal framework, mental capacity, best interests and practical completion of forms.
• Regulatory Compliance in CHC – CQC expectations, clinical governance, incident reporting and evidence gathering.

Training is available as online workshops, live webinars, in‑person sessions and bespoke programmes tailored to your organisation’s needs.

4. CHC Events, Workshops & Networking for Agency Nurses

We run regular CHC events, workshops and networking sessions designed to bring our community of agency nurses together. These sessions provide a safe, supportive space to share experiences, learn about policy changes and discuss real‑life CHC scenarios.

Our events cover topics such as updates to the National Framework for CHC, best practice in assessments, documentation standards, managing workload and stress in agency roles and career development in CHC nursing. Many nurses in our network stay in touch long‑term and form professional and personal friendships that last for years.

5. Personalised CHC Case Management Support

For commissioners, providers and families, we can offer case management expertise through members of our network who specialise in CHC and complex community care. Our focus is always on person‑centred, legally compliant and outcome‑focused care.

Case management support can involve assessment and review of needs, care plan development, co‑ordination between agencies, advocacy for patients and families and optimising available resources. We aim to ensure that each individual receives holistic, appropriate and consistent support that enhances their quality of life.

6. Community & Peer Support Through Private Social Media Groups

Alongside our training and consultancy services, a core part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our confidential, invite‑only online community. We host several private social media groups where CHC agency nurses can connect 24‑7‑365, ask questions, debrief after challenging shifts and share up‑to‑date professional insights.

This community is particularly valued by agency nurses who may often work alone or move between different settings. The network provides a sense of belonging, understanding and support that can help reduce stress and professional isolation.
