CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) professionals across the UK.
We support agency nurses, care providers, and healthcare organisations through expert CHC training, tailored consultancy, and a thriving peer network.
Our mission is to raise standards in CHC by equipping nurses with the knowledge, confidence, and professional connections they need to deliver safe, person‑centred care.
Built and led by experienced CHC nurses, our network understands the pressures, complexities, and demands of agency nursing better than anyone.
We create a safe, professional space to learn, share, collaborate, and grow—both clinically and personally—while helping organisations navigate CHC processes and regulations with clarity.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
We believe only another nurse truly understands the pressures of frontline care, tight timelines, complex CHC assessments, and the emotional load that comes with the role.
Our private, invite‑only social media groups are active 24/7/365, offering a space to discuss cases (confidentially), seek advice, and access peer support at any time.
Many members forge long‑term friendships, professional collaborations, and mentoring relationships through our CHC nurse network.
We run regular online and in‑person events to bring the community together, share best practice, and keep nurses updated on national CHC policy, local processes, and clinical developments.
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Nurses & Providers
We design and deliver practical, up‑to‑date CHC training for agency nurses, nurse assessors, case managers, and healthcare providers across the UK.
Our training covers every stage of the Continuing Healthcare pathway, from screening and assessment to care planning, reviews, and appeals.
All courses are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and are aligned with current NHS Continuing Healthcare National Framework guidance.
We focus on real‑life scenarios, documentation, clinical reasoning, and defensible decision‑making so nurses can apply their learning immediately in practice.
CHC Eligibility, Checklist & DST Training
Our core CHC training programmes cover the full CHC assessment process, including the Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST), and Multi‑Disciplinary Team (MDT) panels.
Nurses learn how to accurately evidence needs, interpret the domains, apply key indicators of nature, intensity, complexity and unpredictability, and contribute effectively to eligibility decisions.
We also explore funding pathways, joint packages, fast track processes, and how to communicate outcomes sensitively with individuals and families.
By the end of training, participants feel more confident completing documentation, defending clinical judgments, and working collaboratively within CHC teams.
Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) and Legal Frameworks in CHC
Many CHC cases involve complex legal and ethical considerations, particularly around Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) and Mental Capacity.
Our specialist training sessions cover DoLS, Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) developments, capacity assessments, and best interest decision‑making in the context of CHC.
We help nurses understand their legal responsibilities, complete accurate documentation, and work in line with the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) to protect the rights, safety, and dignity of the people they support.
Flexible, Tailored CHC Courses for Healthcare Settings
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides bespoke training for NHS teams, independent case management companies, care homes, domiciliary providers, and agency staff groups.
We work with you to identify skill gaps and specific learning needs, then build tailored sessions to match your services and local CHC procedures.
Training can be delivered via live online workshops, in‑person seminars, or blended learning formats to suit busy healthcare environments and shift patterns.
Our aim is to make high‑quality CHC education accessible, flexible, and directly relevant to your day‑to‑day practice.
CHC Consultancy Services for Healthcare Organisations
Alongside training, CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist consultancy to support providers and commissioners with CHC processes, service quality, and regulatory compliance.
Our CHC consultants are experienced nurses with extensive knowledge of the NHS CHC framework, complex case management, and multi‑agency working.
We partner with organisations to review policies, pathways, and documentation to ensure they are robust, person‑centred, and aligned with current guidance.
Whether you are an NHS team, local authority, care provider, or independent service, we help you improve outcomes, reduce disputes, and strengthen your approach to CHC.
Pre‑Inspection and Compliance Readiness Support
Preparing for CQC or commissioning reviews can be challenging, especially where CHC funding, complex needs, and restrictive practices are involved.
We provide pre‑inspection support to review governance, risk management, care plans, and evidence relating to CHC packages and funded placements.
Our consultants highlight strengths, identify areas of risk, and give clear, actionable recommendations so your organisation can demonstrate safe, effective, and person‑centred CHC practice.
This proactive approach supports continuous improvement and helps reduce the risk of adverse findings.
Person‑Centred Care & Support Planning in CHC
We specialise in helping providers develop high‑quality, person‑centred care and support plans, particularly for individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, and complex physical health conditions.
Our approach promotes independence, dignity, safety, and meaningful outcomes while clearly evidencing the level of need for CHC and related funding.
Using evidence‑based practice and regulatory standards, we support teams to create care plans that are clinically sound, outcome‑focused, and practically usable in day‑to‑day care.
This not only improves quality of life for individuals, but also strengthens your position in CHC reviews, audits, and disputes.
Case Management Advice and Professional Support for CHC Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers guidance and peer‑to‑peer support for nurses involved in complex CHC case management.
Our community and consultancy help you think through challenging scenarios, documentation, and multi‑agency coordination while staying aligned with national policy.
Through our network, you can connect with experienced CHC nurse assessors, case managers, and clinical leads who understand the realities of your role.
We encourage reflective practice, shared learning, and collaborative problem‑solving to support better outcomes for individuals and families.
Supporting CHC Agency Nurses to Deliver High‑Quality Care
We provide ongoing professional support to CHC agency nurses, from guidance on assessments and care planning to tips on managing workload, boundaries, and wellbeing.
The network is a place to ask questions, share resources, and debrief safely with colleagues who understand the pressures of the job.
By building your CHC expertise and resilience, we aim to enhance both patient outcomes and your long‑term career development within the CHC and community nursing field.
Events, Workshops & Networking for CHC Professionals
We regularly host CHC‑focused events, webinars, and workshops to keep our members up to date with national framework changes, case law, and best practice.
These sessions provide practical learning, Q&A opportunities, and a chance to network with other CHC nurses and healthcare professionals.
Members are also invited to informal meet‑ups and online sessions that focus on peer support, wellbeing, and professional growth.
By joining our events, you stay ahead of developments in Continuing Healthcare while building a strong professional support network.
