CHC Nurses Agency Network — Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Supporting Agency Nurses in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare professionals who work within the CHC framework. We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy, case management support and a thriving peer network to help nurses navigate complex CHC processes with confidence. Our mission is to improve patient outcomes, promote safe care transitions and ensure nurses feel supported, connected and informed in every aspect of their professional practice.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses, for CHC Nurses
A Supportive Community for Agency & CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, connect and grow professionally. We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional impact of nursing, particularly within complex CHC environments. Our network brings together around 500+ CHC agency nursing professionals who support each other every day through confidential, invite-only social media groups and regular events.
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
We welcome new members into our private CHC agency nurse social media groups, where professional issues are discussed openly and safely 24/7, 365 days a year. Many of our members build long-lasting friendships and professional connections that extend well beyond individual assignments, helping to reduce isolation and enhance job satisfaction.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency & Continuing Healthcare Nurses
Comprehensive CHC Funding & Eligibility Training
We deliver specialist CHC training courses designed specifically for agency nurses, CHC assessors, case managers and healthcare professionals involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare. Our training covers eligibility criteria, the Decision Support Tool (DST), assessments, funding pathways, dispute management and best practice in person-centred CHC care.
Building Confidence in Complex CHC Processes
Whether you are new to CHC or looking to update and expand your expertise, our CHC training for nurses strengthens your understanding of national frameworks, local policies, documentation standards and compliance requirements. We focus on practical, real-world scenarios so you can apply what you learn immediately in your agency roles and multidisciplinary team work.
Expert Support for Care Transitions in CHC
Ensuring Safe & Seamless Patient Transfers
Care transitions are a critical part of Continuing Healthcare case management. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and organisations in planning, coordinating and delivering safe transfers between hospital, community, home and care home settings. Our guidance helps reduce risk, prevent delays and improve patient experiences at every stage of the journey.
Personalised Transition Planning & Coordination
We promote person-centred transition planning that brings together patients, families, CHC teams and providers. By prioritising clear communication, risk management and continuity of care, we help nurses support smoother discharges, placements and reviews, contributing to better clinical, emotional and social outcomes for individuals receiving CHC.
Preparing Providers & Nurses for CQC and Quality Assurance
Pre-CQC Readiness Support for CHC Settings
Through our network of experienced CHC professionals, we offer pre-CQC readiness support to services and teams involved in Continuing Healthcare. This includes reviews of care records, risk assessments, policies, care planning documentation and governance frameworks to identify strengths and areas for development before inspections.
Practical Quality Improvement Advice
We share practical advice, tools and checklists to help nurses and providers align with CQC standards, NHS CHC frameworks and best practice guidance. Our aim is to strengthen confidence, quality and compliance so that CHC services can demonstrate safe, effective and well-led care during internal audits and external inspections.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities Within CHC
Person-Centred Care for People with Learning Disabilities
Many agency nurses in our network work with individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) who are eligible for Continuing Healthcare. We promote person-centred support plans that respect independence, communication styles, preferences and rights, ensuring that CHC funding is used to maximise quality of life and safety.
Promoting Independence, Safety & Well-Being
Through shared resources, peer mentoring and specialist input, we help CHC nurses develop holistic care plans that combine health needs with daily living support, positive behaviour support where required, and meaningful activities. This ensures individuals with LD receive consistent, dignified and outcome-focused care in line with legal and regulatory standards.
Events, Workshops & Networking for CHC Nurses
Regular Events to Bring CHC Agency Nurses Together
We run regular online and in-person events for CHC agency nurses, including workshops, webinars, study days, social meetups and networking sessions. These events provide a relaxed space to share experiences, ask questions, solve problems and connect with other nurses who understand the realities of CHC work.
Staying Updated on CHC Policy & Regulatory Changes
Our events and online discussions help you stay up to date with NHS CHC policy changes, assessment tools, funding guidance and legal developments. Guest speakers and experienced practitioners share practical tips so you can adapt quickly to new expectations and maintain safe, compliant practice in every placement.
CHC Case Management & Professional Guidance
Peer-Led Support with CHC Case Management
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network benefit from shared expertise in CHC case management, including complex assessments, appeals, reviews and multi-agency coordination. Our community offers peer-to-peer guidance on documentation, communication with commissioners and managing challenging caseloads.
Supporting Nurses, Patients & Families
By pooling our experience, we help nurses feel more confident in supporting patients and their families through the CHC process, from initial checklist to reviews and transitions. This collaborative approach promotes holistic, person-centred care that meets both clinical needs and emotional well-being.
