CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training, Consultancy & Support
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expertise, Community and Career Development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, bringing together specialist training, consultancy, case management and a thriving professional community.

Our network provides a safe space to connect with peers, share experiences, and access practical support to help you develop your CHC knowledge, grow your career and improve outcomes for the people you care for.

Expert CHC Consultancy for Healthcare Organisations
Pre-CQC Readiness and Quality Improvement Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC assessment support to ensure your organisation is inspection-ready. Our nurse consultants review your policies, procedures, documentation and care delivery, particularly where CHC is involved, to identify gaps and provide practical, actionable recommendations.
We help you strengthen governance, risk management, safeguarding and care quality so that CHC processes stand up to regulatory scrutiny and support continuous improvement.
Transitions Management for Safe, Seamless Care
Transitions between services – such as hospital to home, acute to community, or social care to CHC-funded care – are times of high risk for patients. Our experienced CHC nurses support organisations to design and implement safe, seamless transition pathways that minimise delays, confusion and breakdowns in care.
Personalised Transition Planning
We work with multidisciplinary teams to create individualised transition plans that address clinical needs, medication management, equipment, community support and family involvement. This ensures patients experience dignified, coordinated and well-communicated transitions between care settings.
Specialist Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD)
Our CHC nurse consultants have experience supporting adults and children with Learning Disabilities (LD) who may be eligible for or receiving CHC funding. We help organisations develop person-centred, strengths-based care and support plans that promote communication, independence and safety.
Promoting Dignity, Autonomy and Inclusion
We work collaboratively with families, carers and wider MDTs to ensure LD care plans respect choice, rights and autonomy, and that services are adapted to individual communication styles, sensory needs and preferences, while meeting complex health needs.
A Thriving Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Connect, Share and Grow
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a supportive professional community for CHC agency nurses across the UK. Our private, invite-only social media groups and events allow nurses to:
- Connect with peers who understand the realities of CHC and agency work
- Share best practice, tips and resources 24/7/365
- Discuss complex cases (confidentially and anonymised) and seek peer support
- Access informal mentoring and guidance from experienced CHC professionals
Many of our members form long-lasting friendships and professional partnerships, supporting each other throughout their nursing careers.
Regular Events, Workshops and Networking
We host regular CHC-focused events including workshops, webinars, seminars and informal meet-ups designed to keep you up to date with:
- Changes in NHS Continuing Healthcare policy and guidance
- Emerging best practice in CHC assessment, planning and review
- Case law, legal challenges and professional standards affecting CHC
- Practical strategies for managing workload, stress and work–life balance
These events provide valuable CPD opportunities and strengthen our knowledge-sharing community of more than 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
