CHC Nurses Agency Network | Specialist CHC Training, Community & Consultancy
A Trusted Community for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses and healthcare professionals working in or around NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), case management, and complex care settings. We bring together CHC agency nurses, independent practitioners, and healthcare providers to share knowledge, build connections, and raise the standard of CHC practice across the UK.
Only another nurse truly understands the realities of agency work, CHC complexity, and the day-to-day pressures of frontline care. Our network offers a safe, confidential space where you can connect with peers, get practical support, and access specialist CHC training and healthcare consultancy designed for real-world practice.
With an active core of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we support both individual nurses and organisations with training, events, consultancy, and peer support so you can deliver safer, compliant and person-centred care.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional hub where CHC nurses can relax, learn, and connect. Our private, invite-only social media groups and regular events mean that many members not only become colleagues, but also friends who support each other throughout their careers.
We welcome new members into our network to join our confidential online groups, attend specialist CHC events, and access shared resources on CHC, CQC readiness, care planning, and complex case management. Professional issues, questions, and ideas are openly discussed 24/7/365, giving you real-time support from peers who understand your work.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare courses, care planning and funding processes
We provide targeted Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training programmes tailored to agency nurses and independent practitioners, covering CHC eligibility, assessment frameworks, decision support tools, documentation, and funding pathways.
Our expert-led courses focus on practical, real-world scenarios so you can confidently manage CHC assessments, contribute to Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings, and deliver robust, person-centred care plans that meet NHS CHC guidance and organisational requirements.
Pre-CQC Readiness Support for Providers Using Agency Nurses
Preparing your service for CQC inspection and CHC compliance
For care providers and organisations, we offer pre-CQC assessments and advisory support focused on services where CHC nurses play a key role, including nursing homes, domiciliary care and complex care packages.
We review your policies, procedures, records, and frontline practice against Care Quality Commission (CQC) expectations and CHC requirements, then provide clear, actionable recommendations to improve compliance, documentation, risk management, and patient experience ahead of inspection.
CHC Case Consultancy & Expert Nurse Support
Complex case reviews, CHC appeals and person-centred planning
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants support organisations, families, and fellow professionals with complex CHC case reviews, appeals, and best-interest decision-making, ensuring the individual’s needs are clearly evidenced and appropriately funded.
We can advise on MDT preparation, documentation quality, risk assessments, escalation routes, and long-term care planning, helping you achieve sustainable, person-centred solutions that align with NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks and legal duties.
Transitions of Care & Person-Centred Complex Care
Supporting safe moves between hospital, home and care settings
We recognise that transitions between services—such as hospital-to-home discharges, moving into a care home, or step-down packages—are critical points for CHC-funded individuals and their families.
Our network of CHC-experienced nurses offers guidance on safe transition planning, communication between teams, documentation, risk mitigation, and person-centred support so that moves are safe, dignified, and as seamless as possible.
Support for Learning Disabilities, Autism & Complex Needs
Specialist CHC care planning to enhance independence and quality of life
Many of our members specialise in Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, and mental health within CHC frameworks, and we bring this expertise together to support providers and professionals delivering complex care.
We promote evidence-based, person-centred care planning that respects autonomy, communication needs, and sensory preferences, while ensuring that physical health, behaviour support, and legal safeguards are clearly documented and fully integrated into the CHC package.
Case Management, Care Coordination & Agency Nurse Support
Joined-up CHC care with expert nurse coordination
Our network includes experienced case managers and senior CHC nurses who are skilled in coordinating multi-agency input, ensuring that health, social care, and voluntary sector services work together effectively around the individual.
We help streamline communication, set realistic outcomes, and coordinate reviews so that CHC-funded care remains safe, appropriate and person-centred, while supporting agency nurses to work confidently within wider multidisciplinary structures.
Community, Networking & Events for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Online Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
The heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our set of confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC agency nurses and allied professionals can share experiences, ask questions, and discuss cases (with full respect for confidentiality and data protection).
From day-to-day practice queries to career advice and emotional support, our community is active all year round, helping you feel less isolated in agency roles and more connected to a supportive professional network.
Regular Events, Workshops & Networking Sessions
We run regular online and in-person events focused on key CHC topics such as eligibility, appeals, documentation, CQC inspections, complex care pathways, and best practice in community nursing.
These sessions are designed to grow your knowledge, build your confidence, and connect you with fellow CHC agency nurses, potential collaborators, and sector experts—often leading to long-term friendships and professional partnerships.
