Our Mission: Raising Standards in Continuing Healthcare Nursing

CHC is complex, fast‑changing and often stressful. At CHC Nurses Agency Network, we understand these pressures because we are CHC nurses supporting CHC nurses. Our mission is to:

Support nurses and healthcare organisations to navigate CHC processes confidently
Improve patient outcomes, safety and experience through better CHC practice
Provide a supportive professional community for agency nurses working in CHC
Offer up‑to‑date CHC training, events and resources grounded in real practice

We are committed to clinical excellence, regulatory compliance and peer‑to‑peer support across the full CHC journey, from assessment and funding to care planning and case management.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, invite‑only community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who work across NHS Continuing Healthcare, community services and complex care packages.

Our network is a place to:

Relax and connect with colleagues who understand the realities of CHC and agency work
Share professional issues 24/7/365 in secure, confidential groups
Build long‑term friendships and professional contacts
Access advice and informal mentorship from experienced CHC nurses
Stay informed about CHC policy, practice and documentation changes

We run regular online and in‑person events to bring nurses together, and many members remain in touch and supportive of each other for years.

Specialist Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Providers

Advice on CHC National Framework and eligibility interpretation
Support with Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and CHC assessments

Support with appeals, reviews and fast‑track CHC cases

Our experienced CHC nurses help you reduce risk, improve quality and feel more confident in your CHC decision‑making.

Transitions in Care & Complex Community Packages

Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and community CHC services can be high‑risk and stressful for both patients and staff. We support:

Safe discharge planning for CHC‑funded patients
Coordination of complex community care packages
Development of person‑centred care plans aligned with CHC funding
Ongoing review and adjustment of care as needs change

Our goal is to promote continuity of care, safety and dignity for every individual through well‑managed transitions.

Support with CQC‑Related Readiness and Quality Standards

Review policies, documentation and care processes related to CHC
Identify gaps in training and governance for CHC nursing teams
Develop action plans to support safe and effective care delivery
Promote a culture of continuous improvement in CHC services

This support helps organisations demonstrate safe, effective, caring, responsive and well‑led care for people with CHC‑funded needs.

Learning Disability & Complex Needs Care Planning

Many CHC‑funded individuals live with learning disabilities, autism and complex physical or mental health conditions. We support nurses and providers to deliver:

Person‑centred, strengths‑based care and support plans
Care that promotes independence, choice and dignity
Evidence‑based approaches to behavioural support and risk management
Collaborative working with families, advocates and wider MDTs

Our expertise helps ensure that CHC funding is translated into real, meaningful support for individuals with complex needs.

CHC Training, Events & Professional Development

CHC National Framework principles and updates
How to complete checklists and DSTs effectively
Care planning for CHC‑funded packages in the community
Community DoLS application processes and legal responsibilities

Sessions are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and are suitable for both new and experienced nurses seeking to deepen their CHC knowledge.

Stay updated with policy changes, case law and best practice
Build a trusted professional network within CHC
Share real‑world challenges and solutions
Strengthen your career prospects and specialist profile

Through our events, you gain practical skills you can apply immediately in your CHC role, supported by peers who understand your work.

Case Management & Care Coordination Support

Person‑Centred CHC Case Management

Effective CHC case management requires clinical insight, coordination skills and a strong focus on the person at the centre of care. Our network supports best practice in:

Holistic assessments and ongoing reviews of individuals’ needs
Developing and monitoring individualised care and support plans
Coordinating multidisciplinary teams and community services
Ensuring care remains proportionate, safe and aligned with CHC funding decisions

We promote efficient, person‑centred case management that enhances quality of life and optimises use of resources.

CHC caseloads can quickly become overwhelming, particularly in community and complex care environments. Through our network and consultancy, we can help you:

Prioritise and organise high‑risk or complex cases
Develop standardised tools and templates for documentation
Strengthen communication and escalation pathways
Share practical tips and peer learning from other CHC nurses

Our aim is to help you work smarter, not harder, while maintaining high standards of care and professional integrity.
