CHC Nurses Agency Network: Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community for Nurses

CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Support & Community for Nurses

Specialist Support for Agency Nurses Working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We connect CHC agency nurses across the UK, provide specialist CHC training, share best practice, and offer expert support around CHC assessments, CQC preparation, case management and professional development.

We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressure, workload and responsibility that comes with delivering safe, person-centred care. Our network offers a safe, confidential space to connect with like‑minded professionals, discuss real‑world challenges, and grow your career in Continuing Healthcare.

A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, share, learn and connect with other CHC professionals. With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses, we provide genuine peer support, practical advice and a strong sense of community for those working across NHS and independent-sector CHC services.

Private, Confidential Online Groups

Members are invited into our private, invite‑only social media groups, where CHC nurses openly share professional issues, ask questions and support each other 24‑7‑365. Discussions range from CHC eligibility and funding queries to clinical scenarios, multidisciplinary team (MDT) working and documentation tips.

Building Lasting Professional Relationships

Many nurses in our network form enduring professional and personal friendships. Because everyone shares the same CHC background and pressures, conversations are honest, practical and grounded in real experience. Our network is trusted, supportive and built by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses.

Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training and Education

We offer targeted Continuing Healthcare training to help agency nurses, case managers and healthcare organisations stay fully up‑to‑date with National Framework guidance, CHC processes and clinical best practice. Our sessions are delivered by experienced CHC nurses who work in the field every day.

In‑Depth CHC Eligibility & Assessment Training

Our courses cover the full CHC process, including Checklist completion, Decision Support Tool (DST) scoring, MDT recommendations, reviews and appeals. We translate policy into practical, real‑world guidance so you can confidently contribute to CHC assessments and ensure fair, robust decisions for patients.

Care Planning, Risk Management and Documentation

We help nurses develop evidence‑based care plans that reflect CHC domains, demonstrate clinical need and meet quality and safety standards. Training includes risk assessment, recording complex needs, and clear documentation that supports CHC funding decisions and regulatory compliance.

Support for CQC Compliance and Inspections

For providers and nurses working in services that support CHC‑funded individuals, we offer CQC-focused consultancy and training. Our aim is to strengthen quality, safety, governance and person‑centred care so you are fully prepared for regulatory scrutiny.

Pre‑CQC Readiness Reviews

We can review your policies, records, care plans and CHC documentation to identify gaps against CQC standards, then provide practical, actionable recommendations to improve compliance, clinical practice and service user outcomes before an inspection.

Improving Quality, Safety and Governance

Our CHC nurse consultants support services to embed robust audits, incident learning, staff training plans and person‑centred culture. This helps ensure your service is not only inspection‑ready, but consistently delivering high‑quality Continuing Healthcare.

Transitions in Care and Complex Discharge Support

Transitions between settings – for example, from hospital to home, home to nursing care, or adult social care to CHC funding – can be high‑risk and stressful for patients, families and staff. Our network offers guidance and consultancy to make these transitions safer and more coordinated.

Seamless Coordination Across Health and Social Care

We help nurses and teams to plan and manage complex discharges, liaise effectively with ICBs, local authorities, community teams and families, and maintain continuity of care. Our focus is on minimising risk and improving the patient and carer experience at every stage.

Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs

Members of our network have extensive experience in Learning Disabilities, autism and long‑term complex conditions. We promote therapeutic, person‑centred approaches that respect the individual’s rights, preferences and communication needs throughout any transition in care or funding pathway.

Person‑Centred Support Plans for CHC‑Funded Individuals

Many CHC agency nurses work with individuals who have complex physical, cognitive or behavioural needs. We support nurses and providers to design and implement person‑centred support plans that align clinical care with what matters most to the person.

Promoting Independence, Dignity and Choice

Our guidance helps nurses create care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and quality of life, while clearly evidencing clinical risks, interventions and outcomes for CHC review and monitoring processes.

Holistic and Strengths‑Based Approaches

We encourage a holistic, strengths‑based model, recognising the person’s abilities, aspirations, culture and relationships as central to good CHC care planning, rather than focusing purely on diagnosis or deficits.

Events, Workshops and Networking for CHC Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to bring our community together, share updates and build knowledge. These sessions are designed specifically for nurses and professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care.

Specialist CHC Workshops and Seminars

Our events cover topics such as changes to the National Framework, CHC best practice, clinical case studies, appeals and disputes, safeguarding, documentation and more. They are interactive, practical and led by experienced CHC practitioners.

Growing Your Professional CHC Network

By attending our workshops and networking sessions, you can meet other CHC nurses, share ideas, and build valuable professional contacts. Many members stay in touch for years, supporting each other through new roles, contracts and clinical challenges.

Case Management and Ongoing Professional Support

Alongside community and education, we offer specialised case management advice and peer support for nurses working with CHC‑funded individuals who require long‑term, multidisciplinary input.

Person‑Centred Case Coordination

We support nurses in coordinating multidisciplinary care, working with therapists, GPs, social care and commissioners to ensure that CHC packages remain appropriate, safe and person‑centred over time.

Optimising Resources and Ensuring Compliance

Our network shares tips and guidance on resource optimisation, safe staffing, documentation, incident reporting and regulatory compliance, helping you to maintain high standards of care within CHC‑funded packages.
