CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Agency Nurses
Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based specialist community, training provider, and consultancy dedicated to nurses working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings.
We support agency nurses, case managers, and healthcare organisations to deliver safe, compliant, and person-centred CHC services across hospitals, community, and care home environments.
Our network combines expert CHC training, professional consultancy, and a strong peer support community.
Whether you are a CHC nurse assessor, an agency nurse working in community placements, or a provider delivering CHC-funded care, we help you navigate CHC processes, improve compliance, and enhance outcomes for patients and families.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional hub created by nurses, for nurses.
It is a place to connect, learn, and share real-world CHC knowledge so you can build confidence in your practice and feel supported in a highly demanding area of healthcare.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility, and emotional impact of nursing, especially within CHC and complex care.
Our confidential, invite-only social media groups and events provide a safe, relaxed space to discuss professional issues, clinical challenges, career opportunities, and best practice 24-7-365 with a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
Many CHC nurses in our network build lifelong friendships, share job leads and practical advice, and support each other through the realities of agency and CHC work.
We welcome new members to join our private online groups and in-person events, expanding a strong, nationwide network of CHC nurses.
Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Providers
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training
We provide practical, up-to-date CHC training for agency nurses, nurse assessors, case managers, and care providers who work with NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care packages.
Our courses cover the full CHC pathway, enabling you to work confidently within the National Framework and local commissioning processes.
CHC Eligibility, DST & Checklist Training
This specialist training focuses on CHC eligibility criteria, the CHC Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST), Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) processes, and robust clinical documentation.
It is designed to help CHC agency nurses and assessors apply the National Framework correctly, reduce disputes, and support fair funding decisions.
CHC Community DOL & Legal Framework Training
We offer training on Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) processes within CHC and community settings, including legal responsibilities, best interest decisions, documentation, and liaison with Local Authorities and legal teams.
This helps nurses and providers protect patients’ rights while remaining compliant with current legislation.
CHC-Capable Complex Care & Community Nursing Skills
Our practical skills training supports nurses working with CHC-funded individuals in the community or care homes, focusing on person-centred care planning, risk management, escalation, and multi-agency working.
We help agency nurses feel confident delivering high-quality, safe care in lone-working and complex environments.
CHC Consultancy for Healthcare Organisations
For care homes, domiciliary care services, nursing agencies, and healthcare providers, we provide CHC-specific consultancy to improve clinical governance, documentation standards, and contract compliance.
Our consultancy aims to align your service with NHS commissioners’ expectations and CQC regulatory standards.
Pre-CQC & CHC Compliance Readiness Reviews
We carry out focused pre-CQC assessments and CHC documentation audits to identify gaps in care plans, risk assessments, clinical notes, and governance structures.
You receive clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen quality, safety, and compliance before inspections or contract reviews.
CHC Case Management & Care Coordination Support
Our experienced CHC clinicians and case managers support providers and commissioners with complex case reviews, person-centred care planning, and coordination of multi-disciplinary input.
We ensure that legal, clinical, and emotional needs are balanced, and that care remains outcome-focused and sustainable.
Person-Centred Support for Learning Disabilities & Autism in CHC
We specialise in CHC-funded packages for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, and complex behavioural needs.
Our approach prioritises positive risk-taking, independence, dignity, and quality of life, working alongside families, providers, and commissioners.
We help nurses and services implement person-centred care plans, robust PBS (Positive Behaviour Support), and safe staffing models to support people in the least restrictive environment possible while staying aligned with CHC and legal frameworks.
CHC Events, Networking & Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events, including workshops, webinars, study days, and informal meetups.
These events keep you updated on CHC policy changes, case law, best practice, and career opportunities in CHC and agency nursing.
Our private, invite-only social media groups provide 24/7 access to peer support from experienced CHC nurses and clinicians.
Members share clinical insights, job leads, templates, and real-life experiences to make CHC practice more manageable and less isolating.
