CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support, Training & Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A dedicated network empowering Continuing Healthcare nurses to deliver safer, smarter care
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and community-based settings, providing expert training, resources and peer support.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network helps agency and independent nurses navigate CHC processes, manage complex cases confidently and stay compliant with UK healthcare regulations while enjoying real professional camaraderie.
What We Do for CHC Agency Nurses
We combine a strong professional network with practical education and consultancy-style support, helping nurses and organisations improve outcomes for adults and children with complex, ongoing healthcare needs.
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development
We provide targeted training for nurses on the full Continuing Healthcare pathway, including screening tools, CHC eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) documentation and appeals processes.
Our sessions are designed to strengthen your clinical documentation, improve your understanding of CHC funding frameworks and enhance your confidence when advocating for patients with complex needs.
Support with CQC-Ready Practice for Agency Nurses
While we are not a CQC inspectorate, we help agency nurses understand Care Quality Commission expectations and embed safe, effective and well-documented practice across CHC and community placements.
Through shared resources, discussion groups and practical guidance, members learn how to meet evidence requirements, maintain accurate records and contribute positively to a provider’s CQC outcomes.
Learning Disabilities & Complex Care Support
Many CHC packages involve adults and children with Learning Disabilities, autism and other complex needs, and our network shares best practice on person-centred planning, PBS approaches and risk management in these settings.
Members exchange real-world strategies for promoting independence, dignity and safety, helping you deliver high-quality care in line with UK LD, safeguarding and Mental Capacity Act guidance.
Peer-Led Case Discussion & Care Coordination Insights
Through confidential, invite-only social media groups, nurses can discuss challenging CHC and complex care cases, share care planning ideas and explore multi-agency working in a safe, professional space.
This ongoing peer support helps you refine your approach to assessment, risk management, communication with commissioners and seamless care transitions between hospital, home and community services.
Regular Events, Webinars & Workshops in CHC
We run regular online and in-person events to keep CHC agency nurses up to date with changes in NHS Continuing Healthcare policy, case law, eligibility guidance and best practice in commissioning and delivery.
Our workshops and networking sessions give you the opportunity to meet other CHC professionals, ask questions, share experiences and build your reputation in the Continuing Healthcare arena.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our core community of around 500 CHC agency nurses who connect through confidential, invite-only social media groups.
Members can raise professional issues, ask for advice, share updates and offer mutual support 24-7-365, creating a unique space where nurses truly understand the pressures and realities of CHC work.
Building Lasting Professional Relationships
We know that only another nurse fully understands the emotional and physical demands of agency nursing in CHC and complex care, so our network is designed as a place to relax, debrief and connect.
Many of our members become genuine friends, supporting each other for years across different contracts, providers and regions while sharing knowledge that improves everyday practice.
