CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community

Connecting Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses with Expert Support, Training and Consultancy

The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together experienced Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and healthcare organisations to improve patient outcomes, strengthen compliance and support professional growth.

Through expert CHC consultancy, specialist training, case management support and an active peer network, we help nurses and providers deliver safe, person-centred and compliant care across all care settings.

Our mission is to empower CHC agency nurses and healthcare organisations with the knowledge, tools and community they need to navigate complex CHC processes and regulatory standards with confidence.

Who We Are – The CHC Agency Nurses Network

The CHC Agency Nurses Network is a supportive professional community and consultancy hub for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare and complex care.

We understand the realities of frontline nursing – the pressures, responsibilities and constant change – because our core network is made up of practising CHC nurses and senior clinical leaders.

We run regular online and in-person events, maintain confidential invite-only social media groups, and connect over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals across the UK who support each other 24-7-365.

Members share real-world experiences, practical solutions and up-to-date CHC information, creating a safe space to learn, de-stress and build lasting professional relationships.

Our CHC Services at a Glance

1. Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Planning

Supporting Safe, Seamless Patient Transfers in CHC and Complex Care

Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and other settings can be risky and stressful for both patients and professionals, especially where CHC funding and complex needs are involved.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist nursing input on discharge planning, CHC-funded packages and step-down arrangements to promote safety, continuity and person-centred care.

We help create and review transition plans that prioritise clinical safety, risk management, communication and robust handovers between multidisciplinary teams.

2. Pre-CQC Consultancy & Mock Inspections

Preparing Your Service for Outstanding CQC Outcomes

High-quality CHC provision must align with Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards, particularly in areas such as safety, effectiveness and leadership.

Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants carry out pre-CQC assessments to review your policies, documentation, care planning, clinical risk management and CHC-related processes.

We identify gaps, highlight strengths and support you to implement evidence-based improvements that strengthen compliance, governance and inspection readiness.

3. Learning Disability (LD) and Autism Support

Specialist Person-Centred Care Planning for Complex Needs

Individuals with learning disabilities and/or autism who are eligible for CHC require tailored, person-centred support plans that promote independence, dignity and safety.

Our network of CHC nurses works collaboratively with families, advocacy services, local authorities and providers to co-produce holistic LD care and support plans.

We apply current best practice, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) principles and safeguarding guidance to improve quality of life and reduce avoidable hospital admissions.

4. Specialist CHC Training & Education for Nurses and Providers

Building CHC Confidence, Competence and Compliance

We offer a range of Continuing Healthcare training courses for agency nurses, case managers, care coordinators and care providers who work with CHC-funded individuals.

Our CHC training covers eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DST), assessments, commissioning, appeals, MDT processes, care planning and documentation standards.

Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and can be tailored for individuals, teams or organisations seeking introductory, advanced or refresher-level CHC education.

5. CHC Events, Webinars & Workshops

Stay Current with CHC Policy, Practice and Peer Learning

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events to support skill development, policy updates and networking among CHC professionals.

Our webinars and workshops explore topics such as CHC funding changes, complex case reviews, best practice in community nursing and regulatory expectations.

Participants gain practical insight from expert speakers, share real case experiences and make valuable professional connections within the CHC community.

6. CHC Case Management & Clinical Oversight

Person-Centred Case Management for CHC-Funded Care Packages

Effective CHC case management is essential to ensure that individuals with complex needs receive safe, coordinated and legally compliant care.

Our network connects providers and commissioners with experienced CHC case managers and nurse consultants who can oversee assessments, care planning and ongoing reviews.

We focus on outcome-based, person-centred case management that optimises resources, reduces risk and supports positive, measurable changes in quality of life.

7. Peer Support, Mentorship & Professional Networking

Because Only Another Nurse Truly Understands Nursing

The CHC Agency Nurses Network is more than a consultancy – it is a community where nurses support nurses.

Through our private social media groups, peer forums and informal mentoring, agency nurses can raise clinical queries, discuss CHC cases, share templates and ask for advice in a confidential setting.

Many of our members develop long-standing friendships, ongoing supervisory relationships and collaborative professional partnerships that last for years.

8. Agency Nurse Support & Career Development in CHC

Grow Your Specialist Career as a CHC Agency Nurse

We help agency nurses develop specialist CHC expertise, improve their employability and build rewarding careers within Continuing Healthcare and complex care.

Members gain access to CHC learning resources, CPD opportunities, clinical discussion groups and invitations to specialist CHC events.

Whether you are new to CHC or already experienced, our network supports you to deepen your knowledge, diversify your roles and confidently navigate complex CHC cases.
