CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist Support for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings. We combine expert CHC training and consultancy with a thriving professional network so agency nurses can develop their careers, stay compliant, and feel fully supported in demanding roles.
Run by nurses, for nurses, we understand the realities of agency nursing, the pressure of CHC assessments, and the expectations of CCGs, ICBs and providers. Our goal is to make your professional life easier, strengthen your CHC expertise, and connect you with like‑minded professionals who truly understand your day‑to‑day challenges.
Comprehensive CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility, Assessment & Funding Courses
We deliver specialist CHC training programmes covering the full Continuing Healthcare pathway, including checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), eligibility criteria, appeals and funding processes. Our courses are designed for agency nurses, case managers, and independent clinicians who need up‑to‑date, practical knowledge to work confidently within NHS CHC frameworks.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand both clinical practice and commissioning requirements. Whether you are new to CHC or looking to refine advanced skills, our sessions improve competence, documentation quality and decision‑making for complex care cases.
Care and Support Planning for Complex Needs and Learning Disabilities
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses to develop safe, person‑centred care and support plans for individuals with complex needs, including learning disabilities, autism, acquired brain injury and long‑term conditions. We focus on risk management, positive behaviour support, communication needs and promoting independence wherever possible.
Our guidance and training help agency nurses produce clear, evidence‑based care plans that align with CHC recommendations, legal frameworks and best‑practice clinical standards, improving both safety and patient experience.
Transition Support: Hospital, Community & Complex Care Packages
Transitions between services, such as discharge from hospital to home with a CHC package, are high‑risk periods for patients and families. We offer expert advice and structured training on safe transition planning for agency nurses involved in discharge, step‑down and community complex care services.
By focusing on communication, continuity of care and robust documentation, we help nurses support smoother transitions, reduce avoidable readmissions and promote better long‑term outcomes for CHC‑funded individuals.
Regulatory, Compliance and Quality Support
Pre‑CQC and Quality Review Readiness for CHC Providers
For providers and agencies delivering CHC and complex care services, inspection readiness is essential. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers advisory support around CQC expectations, documentation standards and quality assurance relating to CHC‑funded care.
We review policies, care records and clinical practice against regulatory and commissioning requirements, providing practical recommendations so nurses and services can demonstrate safe, effective, person‑centred care during audits and inspections.
Best‑Practice Guidance for CHC Compliance and Governance
Our consultancy supports organisations and individual nurses to align practice with CHC National Framework guidance, local ICB policies and professional codes. From record‑keeping and clinical governance to consent, capacity and safeguarding, we help you embed robust standards into everyday practice.
This focus on quality and compliance not only protects patients but also safeguards nurses’ professional registration and enhances the reputation of agencies and providers working in CHC.
Case Management, Complex Care and Person‑Centred Practice
Specialist Case Management Support in CHC
We provide specialist case management guidance for nurses involved in coordinating complex CHC packages, including multidisciplinary working, escalation, risk management and outcome‑focused reviews. Our support helps clinicians lead and contribute to complex case discussions with confidence.
By promoting holistic assessment, clear communication and collaborative working, we help agency nurses deliver truly person‑centred care that reflects individual needs, preferences and goals.
Optimising Resources While Maintaining Safe, Person‑Centred Care
Working in CHC often means balancing limited resources with high levels of clinical need. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers practical strategies for prioritisation, workload management and effective use of multidisciplinary resources while keeping patient safety and dignity at the centre.
We support nurses to make defensible clinical decisions, document rationale clearly and work collaboratively with commissioners, providers and families to achieve sustainable care arrangements.
A Private Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Connect, Share and Decompress
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training and consultancy service; it is a private, professionally focused community where CHC agency nurses can relax, connect and share experiences with colleagues who genuinely understand the pressures of nursing.
Through confidential, invite‑only social media groups and online spaces, our core network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals discuss clinical issues, share opportunities, and support each other 24‑7‑365, creating a strong sense of belonging in what can otherwise be an isolated role.
Building Long‑Term Professional Relationships and Friendships
We host regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together, including webinars, informal meet‑ups, case‑discussion sessions and CHC‑focused workshops. Many members form lasting friendships and professional networks that continue for years.
New members are warmly welcomed into our private groups and events, where they can ask questions freely, seek peer support and benefit from collective expertise without judgement.
Industry Events and Ongoing Professional Development
CHC‑Focused Workshops, Webinars and Networking

These events provide valuable opportunities to learn from experienced CHC professionals, share real‑world challenges, explore solutions and expand your professional network within the CHC community.
