CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community
Connecting CHC Nurses, Building Expertise, Improving Patient Outcomes
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-wide community and consultancy service for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care and complex care settings. We bring together experienced CHC agency nurses, offer specialist training, provide consultancy support to organisations, and create a confidential space for nurses to connect, learn and thrive in their careers.
Whether you are an individual nurse, an agency, or a healthcare provider, our network is designed to strengthen CHC practice, enhance compliance and CQC readiness, and promote person‑centred care for people with complex health needs.
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Relax, Connect and Be Understood
We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional toll of CHC and complex care work. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a supportive environment where you can switch off, share experiences and talk openly with colleagues who “get it”.
Our private, invite‑only social media groups allow CHC agency nurses to discuss professional issues 24‑7‑365, seek peer support and share practical advice in a confidential setting.
Building Lifelong Professional Relationships
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring our community of CHC nurses together. Many members build strong professional networks, secure new opportunities and, in many cases, develop friendships that last for years.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals regularly stay in touch, collaborate and support each other through the challenges and rewards of CHC work.
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Teams
Developing Expertise in NHS Continuing Healthcare
Our CHC training courses are designed to give nurses, agency staff and multidisciplinary teams a clear, practical understanding of CHC eligibility, assessment processes, the National Framework and funding pathways. Training can be delivered online, in‑house or at our scheduled events.
Programmes typically cover:
- CHC eligibility criteria and decision‑support tools
- Assessment, checklists and multidisciplinary team (MDT) working
- Care planning, risk management and documentation standards
- Regulatory compliance and CQC expectations for CHC services
- Best practice in communication with families and professionals
Our goal is to build confidence, consistency and high‑quality CHC practice across agencies and provider organisations.
Workshops, Seminars and CPD Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network organises workshops, seminars and CPD‑accredited events focusing on the latest developments in CHC, complex care and community nursing. These sessions support your continuing professional development while helping you stay up to date with policy changes, case law and emerging best practice.
Events provide opportunities to:
- Network with other CHC agency nurses and healthcare leaders
- Discuss complex cases and practical scenarios
- Strengthen skills in documentation, advocacy and clinical decision‑making
- Explore career pathways within CHC and complex care
Consultancy Services for CHC Providers, Agencies and Care Organisations
Pre‑CQC Assessments and Quality Improvement
Our specialist consultants support agencies, care homes and community providers to prepare for CQC inspections and maintain ongoing compliance. Through pre‑CQC assessments, we review your CHC‑related policies, procedures, documentation, staffing and care delivery against CQC key lines of enquiry.
We provide:
- Gap analysis and practical action plans
- Support to strengthen governance and clinical oversight
- Guidance on demonstrating safe, effective, responsive and well‑led services
- Advice on evidence collection for CHC packages and complex care
Our aim is to help you embed quality and compliance in everyday practice, not just before inspection.
Supporting Safe Transitions and Continuity of Care
We offer consultancy on care transitions between hospital, community and home settings, with a focus on CHC‑funded individuals and those with complex health needs. Effective transition planning reduces risk, prevents breakdowns in care and improves patient and family experience.
Our experts can help you to:
- Develop robust transition pathways and protocols
- Coordinate MDT input across organisations and sectors
- Ensure continuity of medication, therapies and specialist support
- Improve communication between CHC teams, providers and families
Personalised Support for People with Complex Needs and Learning Disabilities
Person‑Centred Care and Support Planning
Many CHC‑funded individuals have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, mental health needs or multiple long‑term conditions. We support providers and agencies to create person‑centred care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and safety.
Our nurses and consultants work collaboratively with families, commissioners, support workers and other professionals to ensure that each plan:
- Reflects the person’s wishes, strengths and goals
- Covers daily living, communication and behavioural support needs
- Addresses health monitoring, crisis plans and risk management
- Supports social inclusion and meaningful activities
Evidence‑Based and Holistic CHC Practice
We draw on the latest evidence‑based practice, regulatory guidance and clinical research to shape safe and effective CHC support. Our focus is always on holistic wellbeing—physical, emotional and social—while ensuring all care remains compliant with legal and ethical frameworks.
Expert CHC Case Management and Coordination
Coordinating Seamless, Person‑Centred Care
For individuals with complex, long‑term health needs, we offer case management and coordination support to organisations and agencies. Our experienced CHC professionals help ensure that each person receives joined‑up, person‑centred care that meets both clinical and emotional needs.
Case management support can include:
- Developing, reviewing and auditing care plans
- Coordinating input from multiple providers and disciplines
- Monitoring outcomes and quality of life
- Ensuring documentation supports CHC reviews and funding decisions
Optimising Resources and Multidisciplinary Working
We help organisations optimise resources across CHC packages, ensuring that skills are used effectively and safely while meeting contractual and regulatory requirements. By strengthening multidisciplinary collaboration, we support better outcomes, fewer incidents and higher satisfaction for patients, families and staff.
