CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community
Empowering CHC Nurses With Training, Consultancy and a Strong Professional Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community care and complex care.
We bring together specialist CHC nurses, agency nurses and care professionals to share expertise, strengthen practice and make day-to-day working life easier.
Through expert-led training, specialist consultancy, case management support and a thriving peer network, we help CHC nurses deliver safe, compliant and person‑centred care while developing their careers.
Professional CHC Network for Agency and Continuing Healthcare Nurses
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive community of around 500 experienced CHC nursing professionals.
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibilities and emotional demands of CHC and complex care work.
Our private, invite-only online groups offer a safe space to share challenges, ask questions, discuss complex cases and celebrate successes 24-7-365.
Many of our members build lasting friendships and professional connections that continue for years.
A Safe, Confidential Space for CHC Agency Nurses
We host confidential social media groups specifically for CHC agency nurses and Continuing Healthcare practitioners.
Members can openly share professional issues, seek peer support and access real-time advice from colleagues who truly understand CHC.
Our moderated groups help maintain professional standards, protect confidentiality and encourage constructive discussion, reflection and learning.
Events, Meet-Ups and Ongoing Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events designed to bring CHC nurses together.
From informal meet‑ups and peer support sessions to structured learning events, we create opportunities to relax, connect and grow professionally.
Most nurses in our network keep in regular contact, building strong peer relationships that support them through the realities of CHC practice.
CHC Training for Nurses, Case Managers and Care Providers
We offer specialist training programmes focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare, community care and complex care pathways.
Our courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurses and subject matter experts to give you practical, real-world skills you can use immediately.
Training can be tailored for agency nurses, case managers, care coordinators, care home staff and community teams who need to navigate CHC eligibility, funding and care planning with confidence.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility and Assessment Training
Our CHC training covers the full Continuing Healthcare journey: screening, Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST), eligibility criteria, MDT processes and appeals.
We focus on building your understanding of the National Framework, clinical justifications and documentation skills needed for robust CHC decisions.
Whether you are new to CHC or experienced and seeking an update, our programmes support compliance, best practice and consistent decision‑making.
Training on Transitions, Complex Care and Person-Centred Planning
Transitions between hospital, home and community settings can be particularly complex in CHC and complex care.
We provide focused training on safe discharge planning, community placements, risk management and person‑centred care planning.
Our training highlights continuity of care, safeguarding, Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) considerations and the importance of placing the person and their family at the centre of all decisions.
CHC Consultancy and Case Management Support
Alongside our professional network, CHC Nurses Agency Network provides consultancy and case management support for providers, commissioners and individual families navigating CHC.
We help you improve quality, ensure compliance and secure appropriate funding for eligible individuals.
Our consultancy team includes experienced CHC nurses with extensive knowledge of the National Framework, local commissioning practices and community care pathways.
CHC Case Review, Appeals and Funding Support
We offer expert support with CHC case reviews, retrospective reviews, appeals and disputes over eligibility or funding.
Our consultants can review documentation, identify gaps, and advise on how to present clinical evidence clearly and effectively.
We work collaboratively with nurses, care providers and families to ensure that individuals receive the level of funding and support they are entitled to.
Community Care, DoL and Complex Care Pathway Guidance
Our team supports organisations and practitioners with community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) processes, complex community packages and joint‑funded care arrangements.
We help you interpret guidance, align practice with the law and maintain person‑centred, least‑restrictive approaches.
By combining clinical expertise with practical community experience, we help teams manage risk, documentation and multi‑agency working more effectively.
Support for Learning Disability and Autism (LD/A) Care in CHC
Many CHC‑eligible individuals have Learning Disabilities and/or Autism (LD/A) and require highly personalised support in the community.
CHC Nurses Agency Network specialises in supporting nurses and providers working with LD/A clients under CHC and joint funding arrangements.
We promote independence, dignity and choice while navigating complex behavioural, sensory and communication needs within a community‑based CHC framework.
Person-Centred Support Plans for LD/A Under CHC
We help nurses and care providers design robust, person‑centred support plans that meet CHC commissioning expectations and regulatory standards.
Plans are based on evidence‑based practice, positive behaviour support and a holistic view of health, wellbeing and daily living needs.
Our approach ensures that clinical risk, legal safeguards and quality‑of‑life outcomes are balanced and clearly documented for CHC review purposes.
Events, Webinars and CHC Knowledge-Sharing
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly hosts events focused on Continuing Healthcare updates, policy changes and best practice in complex care.
These sessions give CHC nurses and agency staff access to up‑to‑date guidance, case studies and practical tools.
Participants benefit from expert speakers, interactive Q&A and the chance to network with other CHC professionals facing similar challenges.
Workshops, Masterclasses and Networking for CHC Nurses
Our workshops and masterclasses are designed to strengthen your CHC knowledge and documentation skills, from DST completion to appeal preparation.
