CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Community and Bespoke Healthcare Consultancy
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses across the UK, combining expert training, specialist consultancy and a thriving professional community.
We support nurses who work in CHC, case management and complex care settings to deliver safe, person-centred care while staying compliant with the latest NHS Continuing Healthcare and CQC requirements.
Our network makes agency nursing easier, more informed and better connected, so you can focus on delivering outstanding patient outcomes.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Teams
Working in Continuing Healthcare demands up-to-date knowledge, strong clinical skills and a clear understanding of funding and eligibility criteria.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist CHC training programmes tailored to agency nurses, CHC assessors, case managers and multidisciplinary teams.
Our sessions are delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants who understand the realities of agency work, helping you build confidence and competence in complex care environments.
Comprehensive CHC Eligibility and Assessment Training
Our CHC eligibility and assessment training provides a clear, step-by-step understanding of the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care.
We cover the Decision Support Tool (DST), evidence gathering, multidisciplinary team (MDT) working and best practice in documentation, so you can participate effectively in CHC assessments and reviews.
This focused training helps agency nurses contribute meaningfully to the CHC process and advocate for fair, lawful decisions for patients.
Training on Transitions, Discharge Planning and Care Pathways
Transitions between hospital, home, nursing homes and other care settings are high-risk moments for patients, families and staff.
Our transitions and care pathways training equips CHC agency nurses with the skills to support safe discharges, continuity of care and clear communication across services.
We focus on person-centred planning, risk reduction, safeguarding and practical strategies that agency nurses can use immediately in any placement.
Expert Healthcare Consultancy for CHC Providers and Agencies
Beyond training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers healthcare consultancy services to support NHS organisations, independent providers and nurse agencies working within the CHC sector.
Our consultants are senior CHC nurses who understand commissioning, regulation and frontline delivery, enabling us to provide practical, evidence-based guidance that improves care quality and compliance.
Whether you need help preparing for inspection, refining CHC processes or developing your workforce, we provide targeted, nurse-led solutions.
Pre-CQC Assessments and Quality Improvement Support
We offer pre-CQC assessments for services delivering CHC and complex care, reviewing your policies, records, clinical practice and governance against current standards.
Our nurse consultants identify gaps, highlight strengths and provide clear, actionable recommendations to help you improve care, safety and documentation before a CQC visit.
This proactive approach reduces risk, supports compliance and reassures providers, families and commissioners that robust quality systems are in place.
Developing Person-Centred Care and Support Plans, Including Learning Disabilities
Person-centred care is at the heart of high-quality CHC provision.
We support teams to develop personalised care and support plans for individuals with complex physical health needs, Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and behaviours that may challenge.
Our approach focuses on dignity, independence, communication, legal frameworks (such as the Mental Capacity Act) and collaborative working with families and multidisciplinary teams to achieve the best outcomes.
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Agency nursing can sometimes feel isolating, especially in specialist areas like CHC, fast-track and complex case management.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network was created by nurses, for nurses, to provide a safe, confidential and supportive community where CHC agency professionals can connect 24/7.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses stay in touch through private, invite-only social media groups, where we openly share professional issues, knowledge and real-life experiences all year round.
Private Social Media Groups and Peer Support
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gain access to confidential social media groups dedicated to CHC agency nursing.
Within these spaces, nurses discuss clinical scenarios, policy updates, contract queries, professional dilemmas and practical challenges, always with respect and confidentiality.
Many of our members build long-term friendships, offering each other emotional support as well as professional guidance through every stage of their agency career.
Regular CHC Events, Workshops and Networking Opportunities
We host regular CHC-focused events, including online webinars, in-person workshops and informal meet-ups to help agency nurses stay informed and connected.
Topics include CHC funding, policy changes, clinical risk management, documentation, safeguarding and professional development for agency nurses.
These events offer valuable networking opportunities, enabling you to meet like-minded CHC professionals, share learning and build contacts that can support your future career.
Case Management Support and Holistic CHC Care Coordination
In addition to training and consultancy, the CHC Nurses Agency Network works with experienced CHC case managers to support complex care packages and individual patients where needed.
We understand the pressures on commissioners, families and providers to deliver safe, holistic care in the community, care homes and other settings.
Our nurse-led case management input focuses on bringing teams together, clarifying roles and ensuring that complex CHC packages run smoothly.
Holistic, Person-Centred CHC Case Management
Our approach to CHC case management considers both clinical needs and emotional wellbeing, recognising the impact of complex care on individuals and their families.
We promote independence wherever possible, balancing risk with quality of life and ensuring that care plans reflect the person’s goals, preferences and best interests.
By coordinating input from nurses, therapists, carers and family members, we support truly holistic, person-centred CHC practice.
Regulatory Compliance and Seamless Multidisciplinary Communication
Effective CHC work relies on clear, consistent communication between all parties involved in a patient’s care.
We help services and agency nurses strengthen clinical governance, documentation and multidisciplinary communication so that regulatory and legal requirements are fully met.
This includes support with CHC reviews, best-interest decisions, safeguarding processes and record-keeping, giving providers and families confidence in the safety and continuity of care.
