CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Nurses Offering Training, Community and Expert Guidance
In the fast-paced world of UK Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nurses and healthcare professionals need more than just clinical skills – they need a strong professional network, up-to-date knowledge, and practical support.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together CHC nurses from across the country to share expertise, build connections, and access specialist training and consultancy.
Our private community is a safe, confidential space where CHC agency nurses can relax, ask questions, raise professional issues, and learn from each other’s experience 24/7/365.
With a core network of around 500 Continuing Healthcare specialists, we support nurses to deliver high-quality, person-centred care in every setting.
Who We Are: A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based professional community focused on Continuing Healthcare, agency nursing, and complex care.
We understand the realities of CHC practice – from assessments and reviews to funding challenges, MDT meetings and care coordination – because our members live it every day.
Only a nurse truly understands how much emotional and physical energy goes into nursing, the pressure of decision-making, and the impact of working in CHC.
That’s why our network is built by nurses, for nurses, ensuring you are supported by professionals who genuinely “get it”.
A Supportive Community for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
Private Social Media Groups and Peer Support
We host several invite-only, confidential social media groups where CHC agency nurses can connect in real time.
Members openly share professional issues, seek advice, discuss CHC eligibility decisions, care planning, and documentation, and support each other with the day-to-day realities of working in Continuing Healthcare.
Our network is active around the clock, meaning you can access peer-to-peer support whenever you need it – whether you are on a late shift, managing a complex case, or preparing for a CHC assessment or review.
Building Lasting Professional and Personal Connections
Many nurses in the CHC Nurses Agency Network not only find colleagues, but also long-term friends.
Through regular interaction and shared experiences, our members build strong professional relationships that often last for years.
We welcome new members warmly into our community and actively encourage a culture of respect, collaboration, and mutual support among all CHC professionals who join us.
Events, Workshops and Networking for CHC Professionals
Regular Online and In-Person Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events to bring our community together, including online webinars, Q&A sessions, peer-discussion forums, and occasional in-person meet-ups.
These events are designed to help you stay current with NHS Continuing Healthcare policy, best practice, and legal updates.
From case-study evenings to specialist talks on CHC assessments, appeals and funding panels, our events give you a chance to deepen your knowledge while networking with like-minded professionals.
Staying Up-to-Date with CHC Guidance and Regulations
Continuing Healthcare is a constantly evolving area with frequent updates to national frameworks, local panel processes and documentation requirements.
Our network helps you stay up-to-date with CHC guidelines, national guidance, and CQC-related expectations, supporting you to remain compliant and confident in your role.
We share timely information, practical resources and real-life examples so you can apply changes in policy to your day-to-day CHC practice quickly and effectively.
Specialist Training for CHC and Complex Care Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training and Education
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers access to specialist CHC training designed for agency nurses, case managers and healthcare professionals involved in complex care.
Our sessions support you to understand and apply CHC eligibility criteria, documentation requirements, and best practice in assessment and review.
Training may cover areas such as CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DST), MDT meetings, care planning, appeals, and effective communication with families and commissioners – all grounded in real-world practice.
Clinical Skills, Compliance and Professional Development
We also signpost and provide training opportunities to enhance key clinical and professional skills relevant to CHC nursing, including complex care, infection control, safeguarding, mental capacity, record-keeping, and risk management.
Our goal is to support your continuous professional development (CPD), helping you remain compliant with national standards, CQC expectations and professional codes, while delivering high-quality, person-centred care.
Expert Support and Informal Consultancy for CHC Nurses
Guidance on Complex CHC Cases
Through our experienced network, CHC agency nurses can access peer-led guidance on complex cases, challenging eligibility decisions, case management issues, and communication with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) or commissioners.
Members often share anonymised case scenarios, learning points and documentation tips to support each other in managing risk and improving outcomes for people with high levels of health need.
Supporting Transitions and Person-Centred Care
Transitions in healthcare – for example, from hospital to home, between providers, or into a CHC-funded package – can be complex and high-risk.
Our network helps CHC nurses exchange best practice on safe transitions, person-centred care planning and multi-agency coordination.
We particularly encourage discussions around supporting people with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, dementia, and other vulnerable groups, ensuring that dignity, choice and independence remain central to every CHC package.
