CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Community & Care Solutions
Connecting and Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for agency nurses and healthcare organisations working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care.
We provide expert-led CHC training, practical consultancy support, and a thriving professional network that helps nurses grow their careers, improve care quality, and navigate complex CHC systems with confidence.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, demands, and rewards of frontline care.
Our network brings together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who support each other, share knowledge, and collaborate to deliver safe, person-centred care.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a place to connect, relax, and share with colleagues who understand your daily realities.
We help agency nurses build meaningful professional contacts, access peer support, and stay up to date with CHC best practice and policy changes.
Private Online Community and Social Media Groups
We welcome new members into our invite-only social media groups and private online spaces, where CHC agency nurses can safely discuss professional issues, share learning, and support each other 24/7/365.
Many nurses in our network build strong friendships and remain connected for years, creating a trusted circle of support.
Peer Support from Experienced CHC Agency Nurses
Our core network of around 500 Continuing Healthcare nurses freely shares practical advice, case insights, and real-world experience.
Whether you are new to CHC agency work or a highly experienced practitioner, our community helps you feel less isolated and more confident in your role.
Regular CHC Events, Workshops and Meet-Ups
We run regular events – both online and in person – to bring our CHC nursing community together.
These include educational workshops, Q&A sessions, networking events, and informal meet-ups designed to support continuous professional development and wellbeing.
Learning, Networking and Career Development
Attending our events gives CHC nurses the chance to exchange ideas, learn from industry experts, and explore new opportunities in Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Our focus is on practical learning that makes day-to-day practice safer, more compliant, and more rewarding.
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Organisations
We provide specialist CHC training programmes tailored to agency nurses, multidisciplinary teams, and healthcare providers delivering NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care packages.
Our courses deepen understanding of CHC eligibility, assessment, funding, documentation, and legal frameworks.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Courses
Our CHC training is delivered by experienced CHC clinicians and consultants who understand both the clinical and commissioning sides of Continuing Healthcare.
Sessions are highly practical, using real-life scenarios to build confidence in managing complex needs and advocating for patients.
Key CHC Training Topics
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework
- Completing checklists, DSTs and other CHC documentation
- Evidence-based care planning for complex needs
- Legal and ethical aspects of CHC and consent
- Working effectively with ICBs, local authorities, and providers
- Best practice in risk management, safeguarding, and governance
Whether you are new to CHC, transitioning into complex care, or refreshing your knowledge, our training helps you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred CHC care.
CHC Consultancy and Support for Healthcare Providers
Alongside supporting nurses, the CHC Nurses Agency Network works with care providers, agencies, and organisations to strengthen their CHC services.
We offer consultancy, audits, and advisory support to improve compliance, care quality, and operational efficiency in Continuing Healthcare.
Pre-CQC and Quality Readiness Assessments
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection or contractual review is critical for any organisation delivering CHC or complex care.
Our experienced nursing consultants conduct pre-inspection assessments to review your policies, clinical records, care planning, and governance systems.
Actionable Improvement Plans and Compliance Guidance
We provide detailed feedback aligned to CQC’s key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and relevant CHC standards, highlighting strengths and clear areas for development.
You receive practical, step-by-step recommendations to strengthen compliance, improve documentation, and embed a culture of continuous improvement.
Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many people eligible for CHC have learning disabilities, autism, or complex physical and mental health needs.
We help providers and nurses develop person-centred support plans that maximise independence, dignity, and quality of life.
Person-Centred, Evidence-Based Care Planning
Using the latest evidence-based practice and regulatory guidance, we support teams to plan care around the person’s goals, communication needs, behaviours, health conditions, and daily living support.
Our aim is to ensure that CHC-funded care is personalised, safe, and aligned with best practice in LD and complex care.
Expert CHC Case Management and Care Coordination
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also supports case management in Continuing Healthcare, helping to coordinate seamless, person-centred care packages for individuals with complex needs.
We work closely with families, providers, and multidisciplinary teams to ensure care is well planned and monitored.
Holistic Care Planning and Review
Our CHC case management approach focuses on holistic assessment, clear goal setting, and regular review.
We support the creation of integrated care plans that cover physical health, mental health, social needs, risk management, and ongoing evaluation.
Coordination, Advocacy and Resource Optimisation
We help coordinate input across multiple providers, ensure legal and contractual compliance, and promote effective use of CHC funding and resources.
By acting as a central point of contact, we support better communication, reduced duplication, and improved outcomes for the person at the centre of care.
