CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support, Training & Community for CHC Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Training, Consultancy & Professional Networking
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy service for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare providers across the UK.
We support agency nurses with specialist CHC training, peer-to-peer guidance, and expert consultancy to improve clinical practice, ensure compliance, and enhance patient outcomes.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we combine real-world experience with up-to-date knowledge of CHC processes, CQC requirements, and best practice in care planning and case management.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a supportive, confidential community where CHC nurses can relax, learn, and grow in their careers.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, decisions, and responsibilities that come with front-line CHC practice.
Our invite-only social media groups and live events enable nurses to share professional issues 24/7/365, ask questions, and offer guidance to each other in a safe, trusted environment.
Many members build friendships and professional connections that last for years, creating a strong, reliable support network in what can be a challenging field.
Specialist Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Professionals
We deliver focused training programmes covering core areas of NHS Continuing Healthcare such as CHC eligibility, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, care planning, reviews, and complex case assessments.
Our training is designed specifically for agency nurses, CHC case managers, and healthcare staff who work with CHC-funded patients in care homes, the community, and acute settings.
Sessions are interactive, practical, and scenario-based, helping you build confidence in documentation, clinical rationales, and multidisciplinary working while staying aligned with national CHC framework guidance.
Expert CHC Consultancy for Providers, Agencies & Care Organisations
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers tailored consultancy for care providers, nursing agencies, and healthcare organisations looking to strengthen their CHC processes and regulatory compliance.
We review CHC pathways, care documentation, risk management, and multidisciplinary communication to identify gaps and implement clear, actionable improvements.
From pre-CQC preparation and mock inspections to CHC audit support and policy development, we help you demonstrate safe, person-centred practice and robust governance around CHC-funded care.
Transition Support & Complex Discharge Planning
Transitions between hospital, care home, and community settings are often complex, especially for patients eligible for Continuing Healthcare.
Our experienced CHC nurses support safe and effective transitions by advising on discharge planning, risk assessments, communication with families, and continuity of care plans.
We focus on minimising disruption, safeguarding vulnerable patients, and ensuring that CHC care packages are clinically appropriate, clearly documented, and sustainable.
Person-Centred CHC Care Planning, Including Learning Disabilities
We support nurses and providers to develop person-centred care plans for people with complex health needs, including individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) who qualify for CHC funding.
Our approach promotes independence, dignity, and positive risk-taking while ensuring that clinical risks are identified, managed, and regularly reviewed.
Working collaboratively with families, advocates, and multidisciplinary teams, we embed evidence-based strategies and clear clinical rationales that stand up to CHC panel and review scrutiny.
Training on CHC Funding, Eligibility & Application Processes
We provide in-depth training on the end-to-end CHC process – from Checklist completion through to DST meetings, eligibility decision-making, appeals, and funding reviews.
Participants learn how to present clear clinical evidence, articulate “primary health need”, and support patients and families through what can be a confusing and emotionally stressful process.
This training is ideal for CHC nurses, agency staff, care home managers, and community teams who want to navigate CHC assessments and funding applications confidently and correctly.
CHC Events, Peer Networking & Professional Development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events, including webinars, workshops, and informal meet-ups for CHC nurses and related professionals.
These events offer opportunities to stay updated on policy changes, share best practice, explore case studies, and build long-term professional relationships.
Most of the nurses in our network keep in touch regularly, making our community a powerful space for ongoing learning, mentorship, and mutual support in the specialist field of Continuing Healthcare.
Personalised CHC Case Management & Coordinated Care Support
Expert Support for CHC Care Coordination
Our experienced CHC case managers and nurse consultants support organisations and teams to design person-centred care plans that meet complex clinical, psychological, and social needs.
We help coordinate care across multiple providers, including community services, therapies, care homes, and voluntary support, to ensure seamless delivery and optimal use of resources.
By improving communication, documentation, and review processes, we help teams reduce delays, prevent breakdown of care packages, and promote positive outcomes for CHC-funded individuals.
CHC Legal & Regulatory Compliance, Including CQC Support
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports organisations in meeting legal and regulatory requirements related to CHC, safeguarding, Mental Capacity Act, and CQC standards.
We carry out compliance reviews, documentation audits, and quality improvement plans to ensure that CHC practice is safe, defensible, and aligned with current guidance.
Our pre-CQC assessments and consultancy help you prepare staff, evidence CHC pathways, and demonstrate effective governance, reducing risk and supporting high-quality, person-centred care.
