CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community
A Dedicated UK Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Healthcare Organisations & Nurse Training
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, consultancy, case management support and community networking to help nurses deliver outstanding, person-centred care while supporting organisations to remain compliant, efficient and inspection-ready.
Built and led by experienced CHC nursing professionals, our network offers a safe and supportive space to connect, learn, share challenges and grow your nursing career. We understand the daily pressures of nursing work, and we exist to make your professional life easier, better connected and fully equipped for the complexities of CHC practice.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Relax, Connect and Share with Nurses Who Truly Understand
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place where CHC and agency nurses can relax, talk openly and build genuine professional friendships. We know that only another nurse fully understands the emotional demands, long shifts and complex responsibilities involved in nursing and CHC casework.
Through our private social media groups and ongoing online discussions, our members regularly share experiences, ask questions, offer support and celebrate successes together. Many of our nurses form lasting professional and personal friendships that continue for years.
Exclusive, Confidential Social Media Groups
We host a number of confidential, invite-only social media groups for CHC nurses and agency nurses, with a core network of around 500 active CHC nursing professionals. These groups are monitored and moderated to keep discussions safe, respectful and focused on professional development, well-being and best practice.
Within these groups, we openly share professional issues 24-7-365, including clinical queries, CHC policy updates, CCG practices, case management challenges and new opportunities. Members can engage as much or as little as they like, but always have access to the collective knowledge and support of the community.
Regular Events, Peer Learning and Networking
In-Person and Online Events for CHC Nurses
We run regular events to bring our nationwide community of CHC agency nurses together. These include informal meet-ups, structured workshops, webinars and peer-learning sessions. Our events are designed to help you:
- Stay up to date with Continuing Healthcare (CHC) guidance, frameworks and policy changes
- Understand best practice in CHC assessments, reviews and dispute resolution
- Develop your career in CHC nursing and agency nursing
- Build strong, supportive professional relationships with fellow CHC nurses
Most nurses in our network keep in touch with one another in between events, strengthening local and national peer support and expanding CHC specialist networks across the UK.
Building Long-Term Professional Friendships
Many of our members first join the CHC Nurses Agency Network to boost their knowledge or find support, but stay because of the genuine friendships and professional alliances they form. We are proud to see colleagues who met through the network working together on CHC cases, sharing opportunities and supporting each other’s careers for years afterwards.
Healthcare Transitions & CHC Case Management Support
Expert Support with Complex Care Transitions
Our network connects healthcare organisations and commissioners with experienced CHC nurses who understand the complexities of care transitions, including hospital-to-home, care home placements and community-based packages. We focus on ensuring:
- Safe, well-planned discharges and transfers
- Clear, person-centred CHC care plans
- Effective collaboration between multidisciplinary teams, families and providers
- Continuity of care and minimal disruption for patients and carers
By drawing on our network of CHC specialists, organisations can access flexible, expert case management and transition support when they need it most.
Personalised CHC Case Management
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports holistic case management in Continuing Healthcare, including eligibility reviews, appeals and complex care planning. Our professionals work closely with patients, families, Integrated Care Boards (ICBs), local authorities and providers to coordinate resources, ensure funding rules are followed and keep the person at the centre of every decision.
This approach helps improve quality of life outcomes, supports risk management and optimises the use of available health and social care resources.
Preparing Healthcare Providers for CQC and CHC Compliance
Pre-CQC and Quality Assurance Support
Through our network of experienced CHC nurses and nurse consultants, we support healthcare organisations to become inspection-ready and compliant with CQC standards and CHC frameworks. Our experts can review:
- Policies and procedures related to CHC and complex care
- Documentation, assessments and care planning records
- Training provision and staff competency in CHC
- Governance and quality assurance processes
We then offer clear, actionable recommendations to help you strengthen practice, demonstrate compliance and improve your overall quality rating.
Streamlining CHC Workflows and Operational Efficiency
Efficient and compliant CHC processes are essential for safe, sustainable care delivery. We help organisations and nurse leaders to analyse current workflows, identify gaps in CHC practice and streamline operational pathways. This can support:
- Improved assessment and review timelines
- Better communication between teams and agencies
- Reduced duplication of work and administrative burden
- More consistent, person-centred CHC decision-making
Our aim is to boost both compliance and confidence, equipping your workforce to deliver safe, effective and well-documented CHC services.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Person-Centred Care and Support Planning
Many nurses within the CHC Nurses Agency Network have extensive experience supporting people with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex health needs in community and residential settings. We promote person-centred approaches that uphold independence, dignity and choice.
Our members can contribute to or lead on the development of individualised care and support plans that reflect each person’s medical history, communication preferences, behavioural needs and life goals.
Holistic, Evidence-Based Approaches
Through our network, healthcare organisations can access CHC nurses who use evidence-based strategies to support individuals with Learning Disabilities, including approaches to positive behaviour support, mental health, physical health monitoring and social inclusion.
We focus on whole-person care that addresses daily living skills, relationships, participation in the community and long-term health outcomes, while also ensuring that legal, safeguarding and funding frameworks are properly followed.
Specialist CHC Training and Professional Development
Expert-Led Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Courses
