CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Consultancy and a Strong Professional Network
In the rapidly changing world of UK healthcare, Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency nurses need ongoing support, practical training and a trusted professional community. CHC Nurses Agency Network brings all of this together – combining specialist CHC education, expert consultancy and a thriving network of agency nurses to help you deliver safe, high‑quality and compliant care across the NHS and independent sectors.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced CHC professional, our network is designed to support your career development, clinical confidence and work–life balance while helping organisations improve standards in CHC assessments, complex care, and safe discharges.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, complex care, discharge planning and community care. It is a place to relax, share experiences, ask questions and build strong professional relationships with nurses who truly understand the realities of agency and CHC work.
Our network operates via confidential, invite‑only social media groups and regular in‑person and online events, creating a safe environment for nurses to discuss cases, explore career options and support one another 24/7. With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, many members build friendships that last for years.
We welcome new members to join our private groups and events, where we openly share professional issues 24‑7‑365 and provide a space to connect, de‑stress and stay up‑to‑date with CHC practice and policy.
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses
Agency nurses working in CHC and complex care need clear, practical training that fits around busy shifts. At CHC Nurses Agency Network, we provide targeted, real‑world training that helps you build confidence in CHC processes, documentation, patient advocacy and multidisciplinary working.
All training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who understand the unique pressures agency nurses face and who are committed to improving both patient outcomes and nurses’ working lives.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility & Assessment Training
Understanding CHC eligibility, checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs) is critical for safe and lawful practice. Our CHC training covers national frameworks, eligibility criteria, evidence gathering, documentation standards and best practice in multidisciplinary assessments, giving you the confidence to work effectively in CHC roles.
We focus on practical scenarios that CHC agency nurses encounter daily, helping you to interpret complex needs, communicate clearly with MDTs and contribute to fair, person‑centred CHC decisions.
Training on Care Transitions, Safe Discharges & Complex Care Planning
Transitions between hospital, community and long‑term care settings carry significant risks for patients and for staff involved in discharge planning. Our training modules highlight best practice in safe discharge, risk management, communication and documentation so that agency nurses can support smooth, safe transitions.
We also provide guidance on complex care planning, including risk assessments, escalation plans, capacity and consent considerations, and how to work effectively across multiple services and providers.
Expert Consultancy and Support for CHC Nurses and Organisations
Alongside training and community, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy and advisory support for both individual nurses and healthcare organisations. Our experienced CHC professionals help improve service quality, regulatory compliance and workforce support in CHC and complex care services.
Pre‑Inspection and Quality Readiness Support
For organisations employing CHC and agency nurses, being prepared for CQC inspections, internal audits and commissioner reviews is essential. We provide advisory support on CHC processes, documentation, risk management and staff training needs to help you demonstrate safe, effective and well‑led care.
Our consultancy services highlight strengths and identify gaps, enabling you to raise standards and sustain improvements across your CHC and complex care pathways.
Support with Learning Disabilities, Complex Needs & Person‑Centred Planning
Many CHC and agency nurses work with individuals with learning disabilities, autism and complex physical or mental health needs. We provide guidance and shared resources on person‑centred care planning, positive risk‑taking, behaviour support and safeguarding, helping nurses deliver safe, respectful and rights‑based care.
Our network promotes approaches that enhance independence, dignity and quality of life, while keeping nurses up‑to‑date with legal and regulatory expectations in this specialist area.
Community Events, Peer Support and Professional Networking
A core part of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is bringing our community together. We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional load and complexity of agency and CHC work. That is why we run regular events, meet‑ups and online sessions designed to support your wellbeing and professional growth.
Most nurses in our network keep in touch regularly, share shifts, exchange opportunities and support one another through challenging times. Many members become friends and remain connected for years, building a reliable, supportive professional circle.
Workshops, Webinars and Study Days on CHC and Regulatory Updates
We host practical workshops, webinars and study days focusing on CHC practice, national framework changes, documentation standards, safeguarding and wider regulatory updates affecting CHC and agency work.
Sessions are interactive and case‑based, providing real‑life examples, tips you can use on your next shift, and the chance to ask questions to experienced CHC practitioners.
Networking with CHC Leaders, Agencies and Fellow Nurses
Our events and online spaces bring together CHC nurse leaders, agency representatives and frontline nurses. This creates opportunities to explore new roles, ask career questions, and learn how others are managing common challenges in CHC and agency work.
By building a strong, trusted network, our members are able to share opportunities, collaborate on good practice and improve care for people accessing CHC funding and complex care.
24/7 Peer Support Through Private Social Media Groups
Our confidential, invite‑only social media groups are at the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network. They provide a safe, moderated space where nurses can ask clinical questions, discuss CHC processes, offload after difficult shifts and celebrate successes.
With around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in our core network, there is always someone online who understands what you are going through and can offer support, perspective or practical advice.
Sharing Real‑World Professional Issues 24‑7‑365
Our members use the network to share professional issues in real time – from CHC eligibility queries and documentation concerns to agency contract questions and work–life balance challenges.
This 24‑7‑365 support means you are never alone with a problem; you can draw on the collective experience of hundreds of CHC nurses while respecting confidentiality and professional boundaries.
