CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training, Support & Community

CHC Nurses Agency Network: Advancing Continuing Healthcare Expertise & Community

Specialist CHC Training, Support, and Networking for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy specialising in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training, professional development, and peer support for agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We equip nurses and healthcare organisations with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to deliver safe, compliant, and person-centred CHC services while providing a supportive network where professionals can connect, share, and grow together.

As practising nurses know, only another nurse truly understands the realities of high-pressure shifts, complex clinical decisions, and the emotional demands of care. Our network brings CHC agency nurses together so that no one has to face those challenges alone.

Comprehensive CHC Training & Professional Development for Agency Nurses

We believe that focused, practical education is the foundation of high-quality Continuing Healthcare. Our CHC training programmes are tailored to the needs of agency nurses and healthcare teams working in hospitals, community settings, and social care environments.

Our courses cover core areas of NHS Continuing Healthcare, including eligibility assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, person-centred care planning, funding pathways, advocacy, and legal and regulatory compliance. Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who bring real-world case examples and up-to-date insight into national policy and local commissioning practices.

Key Features of Our CHC Training for Nurses

Role-specific content: Training designed specifically for agency nurses working within CHC, hospitals, care homes, and community teams.
Expert CHC trainers: Facilitators with hands-on experience in CHC assessments, clinical commissioning groups (ICBs), and complex case management.
Interactive learning: Workshops, case studies, and Q&A sessions that support practical application and critical thinking.

Consultancy & Support for Healthcare Organisations Delivering CHC

In addition to supporting individual nurses, the CHC Nurses Agency Network provides consultancy and advisory services for healthcare organisations, care providers, and agencies involved in CHC-funded care. We help you embed robust processes, ensure regulatory compliance, and enhance care quality for complex and long-term conditions.

Our team can review your CHC-related policies, care planning frameworks, documentation standards, and training needs, providing clear, actionable recommendations that align with CQC expectations and NHS CHC frameworks.

Through our private, invite-only social media groups, members can discuss complex cases (confidentially), explore career options, ask clinical or process questions, and connect with colleagues who understand the pressures of CHC and agency work.

Regular Events, Workshops & Meet-Ups

We run regular CHC-focused events designed to bring our network together, build confidence, and enhance specialist skills. Many nurses in our community become long-term friends and professional allies.

Seminars on care quality, documentation, and regulatory compliance.
