CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Nurses & Organisations
A Dedicated Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing, and complex care settings.
We bring CHC professionals together to share expertise, strengthen practice, enhance CHC assessments, and support each other in delivering safe, person-centred care.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility, and daily challenges of nursing.
Our network provides a safe, supportive space where CHC nurses can connect, seek advice, access training, and develop their careers with confidence.
Relax, Connect & Grow Your CHC Career
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, de‑stress, and build genuine professional relationships with other CHC nurses.
Many of our members become long-term friends, regularly keeping in touch through our private, invite-only social media groups and in‑person events.
We openly share professional issues, CHC practice questions, and real-world case experiences 24‑7‑365 across our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
This collective knowledge and peer support help nurses feel less isolated while improving the quality, safety, and consistency of CHC practice.
What We Do at CHC Nurses Agency Network
Our network focuses on three key areas: community support, expert training, and specialist consultancy for CHC nurses and healthcare organisations.
1. Specialist CHC Community & Peer Support
We welcome new members into our CHC Agency Nurses Network to join our private online groups and regular events.
Members benefit from:
- Access to confidential, invite-only social media groups for CHC nurses.
- 24/7 peer support for CHC-related questions, dilemmas, and best practice sharing.
- Opportunities to discuss CHC Decision Support Tools (DSTs), assessments, and funding challenges.

A Safe Space for Professional Conversations
Our online groups are moderated, confidential, and focused on professional growth, reflection, and problem‑solving.
Nurses are free to share experiences, ask for advice, and learn from others working across different ICBs, local authorities, and care providers.
2. Training for Nurses in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Enhance Your Knowledge of CHC Processes
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist CHC training designed for nurses who complete or contribute to Continuing Healthcare assessments, reviews, and case management.
Our training supports nurses to:
- Understand CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework.
- Complete Checklists, DSTs, and reviews accurately and confidently.
- Improve documentation, clinical rationales, and evidence gathering.
- Navigate funding decisions, appeals, and complex cases.
All sessions are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who work within the system and understand the real-world challenges of CHC nursing.
Tailored CHC Training for Nurses & Organisations
We provide bespoke CHC training packages for individual nurses, agencies, and healthcare organisations.
Whether you are new to CHC or seeking an advanced update, we tailor content to your:
- Experience level in CHC and complex care.
- Role (e.g. assessor, case manager, agency nurse in CHC-funded packages).
- Organisation’s policies, pathways, and local commissioning arrangements.
Our training is highly practical, using case-based scenarios to strengthen assessment skills, person‑centred planning, and multi‑disciplinary working.
3. CHC Events, Workshops & Networking
Stay Updated on CHC Policy & Best Practice
We regularly host and participate in CHC-focused events, including workshops, webinars, seminars, and informal networking sessions.
