CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers
In a fast‑changing healthcare environment, agency nurses need more than shifts – they need expert guidance, specialist CHC knowledge, and a strong professional network.
CHC Nurses Agency Network connects Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses with training, consultancy, peer support and resources designed to raise standards of care and improve patient outcomes.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our private network offers a safe place to connect, learn and grow.
We help you navigate complex CHC processes, understand funding and eligibility, and deliver high‑quality, person‑centred care in every setting.
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
Supportive Community & Peer Networking
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the demands and pressures of the job.
Through our confidential, invite‑only social media groups and online spaces, over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connect 24/7/365 to share challenges, advice, opportunities and support.
Many members develop long‑term friendships and trusted professional relationships, making agency nursing less isolating and far more rewarding.
Whether you are new to CHC or experienced in complex care, you will find colleagues who understand your world.
Events, Meet‑Ups & Professional Development
We run regular CHC‑focused events, webinars, workshops and informal meet‑ups to bring our community together.
These sessions cover clinical updates, CHC policy changes, case studies, and practical tools to help you work more confidently in Continuing Healthcare.
Our events are designed to be relaxed, nurse‑friendly and genuinely useful, giving you space to learn, ask questions and build your professional network.
Comprehensive Support for Complex Care Transitions
Seamless Patient Transitions Across Care Settings
CHC agency nurses often support patients moving between hospital, home, residential care and specialist services.
We provide guidance, templates and best‑practice resources to help you manage complex care transitions safely, efficiently and compassionately.
Our focus is on continuity of care, clear communication and multidisciplinary working, so that every transition is structured, documented and centred on the person’s needs.
Personalised Transition Planning & Case Coordination
We promote individualised transition plans that take account of clinical risk, social context, family views and CHC funding arrangements.
Through shared learning and examples from real cases, we help CHC agency nurses coordinate services, avoid gaps in care and advocate effectively for patients and families.
Pre‑CQC Readiness Support for Agency Nurses & Providers
Understanding CQC Expectations in CHC & Community Settings
Inspection readiness is essential for both individual nurses and the organisations they work with.
We provide practical guidance on CQC requirements around safety, effectiveness, responsiveness, leadership and person‑centred care, especially within CHC and community‑based packages.
Our resources help you understand what CQC inspectors look for, how your documentation supports compliance, and how agency nurses can positively influence inspection outcomes.
Actionable Advice on Policies, Documentation & Governance
Through shared tools, checklists and peer discussion, we support nurses and providers to refine policies, care plans and risk assessments.
This collaborative approach strengthens quality, demonstrates good governance and helps teams feel prepared and confident before inspections.
Person‑Centred Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities
Improving Care Quality in Learning Disability & Autism Services
Many CHC agency nurses support adults and children with learning disabilities and/or autism who have complex health needs.
We share best practice on person‑centred planning, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), communication approaches and collaborative working with families and multidisciplinary teams.
Evidence‑Based LD Support Plans & Risk Management
Using current guidelines and research, our network explores how to create robust, person‑centred support plans that balance safety, independence and quality of life.
We cover capacity and consent, restrictive practice reduction, safeguarding, and how CHC funding can be used to build flexible packages around the individual.
Specialist CHC Training & Education for Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Programmes
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers targeted Continuing Healthcare training designed specifically for agency nurses and healthcare professionals.
Our sessions cover CHC eligibility criteria, the National Framework, Decision Support Tools (DST), Fast Track, care planning, documentation and appeals.
Training is delivered in accessible formats – live online sessions, recorded modules and group workshops – so busy nurses can learn at a time and pace that suits them.
Building Confidence in CHC Processes & Funding
We demystify CHC processes so you can confidently contribute to assessments, reviews and multi‑disciplinary team (MDT) meetings.
Our training helps you understand how funding decisions are made, what high‑quality clinical evidence looks like, and how agency nurses can advocate for fair, consistent outcomes.
Stay Updated with CHC Events, Policy Changes & Best Practice
We regularly host CHC‑focused seminars, Q&A sessions and networking events to keep our members informed.
These events cover changes to the CHC National Framework, local commissioning practices, case law, and practical strategies for complex case management.
Members gain access to a growing library of CHC resources, recordings and shared tools contributed by experienced CHC nurses from across the UK.
Guidance on Case Management & Complex Care Coordination
Supporting Better Outcomes in Complex CHC Packages
Many agency nurses work at the frontline of complex CHC packages in the community, often without traditional ward‑based backup.
We provide guidance on holistic assessment, escalation pathways, multidisciplinary liaison and outcome‑focused care planning to strengthen your practice.
Person‑Centred, Holistic Approach to Community Nursing
Through case discussions and shared experience, our network promotes care that considers physical, mental, emotional and social needs together.
This whole‑person approach helps nurses support independence, dignity and safety, while meeting commissioning expectations and regulatory requirements.
