CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training & Community
UK Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Expertise for Nurses, Providers & Agency Professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based organisation dedicated to supporting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses, and healthcare providers with expert consultancy, practical training, and a thriving professional community.
We combine CHC nursing consultancy, CQC readiness support, case management guidance and peer networking to help you deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care while developing your professional career in nursing.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network recognises the realities of agency work and the pressures of modern healthcare – which is why we provide practical tools, up‑to‑date CHC knowledge, and 24/7 peer support through our invite‑only social media groups and events.
Comprehensive CHC Training for Nurses, Agency Staff & Care Teams
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Courses & Workshops
Our CHC training programmes are designed specifically for nurses, agency staff, and care teams who need to understand CHC eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, care planning, and NHS CHC funding processes.
Delivered by experienced CHC nurses, each course is grounded in current CHC National Framework guidance, legal compliance and best practice, so your team can confidently navigate complex continuing healthcare decisions.
Whether you are new to CHC or need a refresher, our training covers:
- Understanding CHC criteria, eligibility and decision-making processes
- Completing the CHC Checklist and DST accurately and defensibly
- Care planning and risk management for complex CHC packages
- CHC reviews, appeals and dispute resolution
- Working effectively with ICBs, local authorities and multidisciplinary teams
Flexible Training for Individuals, Teams & Organisations
We provide online, in‑person and hybrid CHC training options for individual nurses, whole care teams, and organisations across the UK.
Sessions are tailored to your setting – including care homes, domiciliary care, supported living, community teams, and agency nurses working within CHC packages.
Expert Consultancy for CQC Readiness & Organisational Improvement
Pre-CQC Assessments & CHC Compliance Reviews
Facing a CQC inspection can be daunting, especially when delivering complex CHC-funded care.
Our experienced CHC nurse consultants carry out pre‑CQC assessments and CHC compliance audits to review your policies, documentation, clinical governance and care delivery against current standards.
You receive clear, actionable feedback and a prioritised improvement plan that supports:
- CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs) and quality statements
- Safe, effective and person-centred CHC care delivery
- Robust record-keeping and defensible clinical decision-making
- Stronger oversight of agency staff working in CHC packages
Ongoing Support to Maintain High Standards
Quality improvement and compliance are continuous processes.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers ongoing consultancy and mentoring to help you embed best practice, strengthen governance, and maintain CQC and CHC framework compliance over time.
We can support with:
- Policy and procedure development for CHC and complex care
- Clinical supervision and reflective practice for CHC nurses
- Staff training plans and competency frameworks
- Audits, action plans and follow‑up reviews
Specialist Support for People with Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Person-Centred LD Care & Support Planning
Many CHC packages involve learning disabilities (LD), autism and complex behavioural or physical health needs.
Our CHC nurse consultants support providers and families to develop person‑centred LD care and support plans which promote safety, dignity, and independence.
Care plans and risk assessments are aligned with CHC requirements, Mental Capacity Act (MCA), Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)/LPS and the latest evidence-based practice.
Empowering Individuals, Families & Support Networks
We work collaboratively with individuals, families, advocates and care teams to ensure the person’s voice remains central in all CHC and care planning decisions.
Our approach focuses on choice, control and inclusion, helping people with learning disabilities and complex needs to lead as full and independent a life as possible within a safe and supportive framework.
Events, Community & Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC-Focused Events, Webinars & Meetups
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a professional community where agency nurses and CHC professionals can learn, connect and unwind together.
We run regular workshops, webinars, seminars and informal meetups that cover:
- Updates to the NHS CHC National Framework and guidance
- Best practice in complex care and community nursing
- Agency working, professional boundaries and self‑care
- Real‑world case studies and peer problem‑solving
Many nurses in our network build long‑term professional and personal friendships, staying in touch and supporting each other across different roles and organisations.

We host several confidential, invite‑only social media groups where over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals connect daily.
Members openly share professional issues, CHC questions, job leads, updates and emotional support 24‑7‑365, so you are never alone with a difficult case or decision.
New members are warmly welcomed into our private online community and in‑person events, helping you grow your network, knowledge and confidence as a CHC or agency nurse.
