CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Nurses

Specialist CHC Support, Training & Networking for Agency Nurses Across the UK

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for agency nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We combine expert CHC training, professional consultancy support, and a strong peer network to help you deliver safer, compliant, and person‑centred care while building a sustainable and rewarding nursing career.

As practising and former agency nurses, we understand the pressures of CHC work—time constraints, complex eligibility decisions, documentation demands, and the emotional load of caring for people with high levels of need. Our network is designed to make your professional life easier, more supported, and more informed.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional community and a consultancy platform for nurses and organisations involved in CHC. We:

• Connect over 500+ CHC agency nurses in confidential, invite‑only social media groups.
• Provide expert CHC training and guidance to nurses, care providers, and healthcare organisations.
• Support CQC preparedness, compliance and best‑practice standards in CHC settings.
• Offer a safe space to discuss professional issues 24/7/365, share resources and learn from peers.
• Host regular online and in‑person events to build relationships, skills and confidence.

Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations

We offer a comprehensive range of CHC‑focused services that support both individual nurses and healthcare providers.

1. CHC Training & Professional Development

Our structured and practical CHC training programmes are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and senior nurses. Whether you’re new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced CHC professional, we provide content that is current, clear, and grounded in real‑world practice.

Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training

We help nurses, case managers and providers understand and apply the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS‑funded Nursing Care. Training can cover:

• Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the national framework.
• Best practice in checklist completion and Decision Support Tool (DST) documentation.
• Clinical evidence gathering and robust rationale writing.
• Managing multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings and professional disagreement.
• Reviews, appeals and dealing with CHC panel decisions.

Sessions are available as live webinars, in‑person workshops, or bespoke in‑house training for organisations.

Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) & Legal Compliance Awareness

We also provide practical guidance on Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) and associated legal frameworks so that nurses can recognise, escalate and document appropriately, keeping both patients and professionals legally protected.

2. CQC Preparedness & Compliance Support

For providers delivering CHC packages or complex care, we offer pre‑CQC assessment and compliance support to strengthen your systems and evidence base.

Pre‑Inspection Reviews & Quality Improvement

We carry out focused mock inspections and documentation reviews to highlight strengths and areas for improvement related to:

• Person‑centred care planning and risk management.
• Record‑keeping and evidence for safe, effective, caring, responsive, and well‑led domains.
• Staff training, supervision and competencies in CHC and complex care.
• Incident management, learning, and governance frameworks.

Our team then provides clear, actionable recommendations to help you improve outcomes and inspection readiness.

3. Case Management Guidance & Complex Care Support

We support agency nurses and organisations working with complex CHC cases through consultancy, supervision and peer advice.

Best Practice in CHC Case Management

Our case management support focuses on:

• Developing and reviewing holistic care plans for high‑need individuals.
• Supporting safe hospital discharge and community transition within CHC.
• Balancing risk enablement, dignity and independence.
• Interdisciplinary communication and co‑ordinated care across services.
• Managing professional boundaries and ethical decision‑making.

A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses

A Community That Understands the Realities of CHC Nursing

Only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and ethical pressures that come with CHC and complex care work. Our network provides a confidential and understanding space where you can:

• Ask questions and share professional challenges with peers.
• De‑brief after difficult shifts or panel decisions in a safe, non‑judgmental environment.
• Access shared templates, tools and resources created by fellow CHC professionals.
• Gain insight into current practice, commissioning expectations and market trends.

Many members build strong long‑term friendships through the network, staying connected for years as their CHC careers develop.

Private, Invite‑Only Social Media Groups

We facilitate several confidential social media groups exclusively for CHC and complex‑care agency nurses and related professionals. Across these groups, around 500 members share issues, advice and opportunities every day.

In these private spaces, you can:

• Discuss clinical scenarios (de‑identified) and get peer perspectives.
• Share job leads, contract information and rate trends within CHC.
• Ask for help with documentation, CHC checklists and DSTs.
• Stay up to date with policy changes and national guidance.

Events, Workshops & Networking Opportunities

To strengthen knowledge and community bonds, we run regular events for CHC nurses and partner organisations, including:

• Online Q&A sessions on complex CHC topics.
• Themed webinars and masterclasses on documentation, legal issues, appeals and more.
• Informal meet‑ups and networking events when possible.

These events are designed to be relaxed, practical and supportive, giving you a chance to learn, connect and recharge.
