A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers

We combine expert CHC training, healthcare consultancy and a strong, supportive peer network of agency nurses to help clinicians, managers and providers deliver safe, compliant and person‑centred care.
With over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in our core community, our private, invite‑only groups are a place to relax, connect, learn and share—with people who truly understand the pressures and demands of nursing.

Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Teams
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community Funding Application Training
Mastering the CHC Framework and Assessment Process
We provide specialist CHC training for agency nurses, case managers and provider organisations covering the full Continuing Healthcare eligibility and assessment pathway.
Our courses explore decision support tools (DSTs), evidence gathering, documentation standards and multi‑disciplinary team (MDT) roles, helping staff navigate complex funding decisions with confidence.
Reducing Errors and Improving CHC Outcomes
Led by experienced CHC nurses, our training is designed to improve understanding of CHC criteria, reduce documentation errors, and streamline CHC applications and reviews for better patient outcomes and more efficient processes.
Training on Care Planning, Risk Management and Support Strategies
Person‑Centred Care Plans for Complex Needs
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers practical training on creating person‑centred care plans that promote independence, dignity and safety for people with complex, long‑term health needs.
We focus on evidence‑based approaches that align with CHC packages of care, community care pathways and regulatory expectations.
Confidently Supporting High‑Acuity and Community Cases
Our programmes guide nurses in managing complex clinical presentations, balancing risk and autonomy, and ensuring patient choice remains central while maintaining safety and compliance with NHS and CQC standards.
Expert Consultancy Services for CHC and Community Care Providers
Pre‑CQC Readiness Reviews for Community and CHC Services
In‑Depth Reviews and Actionable Quality Improvement Plans
Our senior CHC nurses and consultants carry out pre‑CQC assessments for care homes, community providers and complex care services delivering NHS‑funded packages.
We review policies, procedures, documentation, clinical governance and care delivery, identifying strengths and gaps and providing clear, prioritised action plans to improve compliance and quality.
Strengthening Governance, Safety and Compliance
With our support, providers can implement robust quality assurance systems, enhance staff competency in CHC, and prepare effectively for CQC inspections while maintaining high standards of patient safety and care.
Care Planning Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Care
Holistic, Dignified Support Plans
We specialise in advising on care and support plans for individuals with learning disabilities, autism and complex health needs, often funded via CHC or joint funding arrangements.
Our consultants work with clinical teams, families and providers to ensure plans are holistic, person‑centred and focused on quality of life and independence.
Evidence‑Based Practice and Risk Management
Using current evidence‑based practice, we help providers embed safe clinical pathways, positive behaviour support approaches, and clear risk management strategies that stand up to professional and regulatory scrutiny.
Regular CHC Events, Webinars and Peer Networking
Continuing Healthcare Events, Workshops and Online Sessions
Stay Updated on CHC Policy, Practice and Case Law
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in CHC‑focused events covering policy changes, NHS guidance, case law developments and best practice in CHC assessment and delivery.
Our workshops and webinars are ideal for CPD, revalidation and professional development, helping you stay ahead in a rapidly evolving field.
Learning from Real‑World CHC Cases
Events often include case‑based learning, peer discussion and Q&A with experienced CHC practitioners, giving you practical insights to apply immediately in your clinical or managerial role.
A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups and Ongoing Support
We maintain several confidential, invite‑only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nurses and professionals share professional issues, ask questions and support each other all year round.
From clinical queries to contract issues and day‑to‑day challenges, you will always find someone in the network who understands and can offer informed advice.

Person‑Centred Case Management for Complex Care
Coordinating Multi‑Agency CHC Support
Our network includes experienced CHC case managers who can support with care coordination, reviews, appeals and multidisciplinary working for people receiving NHS Continuing Healthcare or funded nursing care.
We focus on ensuring care packages are safe, sustainable and genuinely person‑centred, while meeting commissioning and regulatory expectations.
