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

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers Across the UK

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and specialist training hub for agency nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community nursing and complex care. We combine expert-led CHC education, consultancy support and a thriving peer network to help nurses deliver safer, higher-quality patient care and achieve better outcomes.

Through targeted CHC training programmes, consultancy, case discussions and regular events, we support nurses, case managers, commissioners, providers and multidisciplinary teams to navigate complex Continuing Healthcare funding, assessments and care planning with confidence.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing UK-wide community of around 500+ CHC agency nurses and healthcare professionals who specialise in Continuing Healthcare, fast-track, Funded Nursing Care (FNC) and complex community care.

Our private, invite-only groups and events provide a safe space to share knowledge, resolve professional challenges and support one another 24/7/365 – because only another nurse truly understands the pressures and responsibilities of CHC nursing.

Members benefit from exclusive networking, CPD opportunities, CHC resources and peer support, helping them to develop their careers and deliver high-quality, person-centred care.

Our network offers access to expert CHC consultancy to support nurses, providers and organisations with complex CHC cases, appeals, audits and best-practice implementation.

We help you improve documentation quality, clinical rationales, MDT preparation and care planning, supporting both individual nurses and organisations to achieve robust, defensible CHC practice.

Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gain access to our confidential, invite-only social media groups, where over 500 CHC professionals support each other in real time.

Within these groups, nurses share professional issues, discuss complex CHC scenarios, exchange resources and offer emotional and practical support 24-7-365.

4. Regular Events, Webinars & CHC Networking

We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC community together, including webinars, workshops, case discussion sessions, Q&A panels and informal meet-ups.

Our training, resources and discussions support ongoing CPD, portfolio building, interview preparation, role transitions and career progression within CHC and community nursing.

6. Support with CHC Documentation, DSTs & Clinical Rationale

We provide guidance and peer feedback on Decision Support Tools (DSTs), CHC checklists, clinical rationales, risk assessments and care plans to help nurses improve quality and consistency.

This support helps agency nurses produce clear, evidence-based documentation that reflects true levels of need, supports eligibility decisions and stands up to scrutiny.

7. Community & Wellbeing Support for CHC Agency Nurses

We recognise that working as an agency nurse in CHC and complex care can be isolating and emotionally demanding, especially when handling high-stakes decisions and complex family dynamics.

Our network provides a safe, understanding community where nurses can debrief, offload, seek advice and feel supported by colleagues who truly understand the role.
