CHC Nurses Agency Network – Elevating Nursing Excellence in Continuing Healthcare

Your Professional Community for CHC Nurses, Training, Events and Expert Support

In today’s demanding healthcare environment, Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses play a vital role in delivering safe, person-centred care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community created by nurses, for nurses, to support you with expert CHC training, peer networking, and specialist consultancy.
We help agency and independent nurses build skills, share knowledge, and improve outcomes for adults eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding across a wide range of care settings.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a growing UK-wide community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
We bring together registered nurses, case managers and CHC specialists who work across community, domiciliary, care home and complex care packages.
Through our private social media groups, confidential forums and regular events, we provide a safe space to connect, learn and collaborate with colleagues who truly understand the realities of CHC nursing.

Only another nurse really understands the pressures of caseloads, assessments, fast-track decisions and care transitions.
Our network is designed to make your professional life easier, offering peer support, up‑to‑date CHC information and opportunities to progress your nursing career with confidence.

Core Support and Services for CHC Nurses

Professional Networking and Peer Support

Our network gives CHC agency nurses a secure, supportive place to relax, connect and share real‑world experiences.
Members stay in touch daily through invite‑only social media groups, where they can discuss complex CHC cases, documentation challenges, best practice, and work–life balance.
Many nurses in our community build long‑term friendships and professional partnerships that last for years.

CHC Training, Education and Skills Development

We help you stay current with NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Framework requirements, assessment tools and eligibility criteria.
Our CPD‑friendly training and shared resources cover key topics such as CHC assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, fast-track pathways, review processes and documentation standards.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced specialist, our network supports continual skills development and professional growth.

Guidance on CHC Assessment and Funding Processes

Navigating CHC eligibility and funding can be complex and stressful for both professionals and families.
Within the network, nurses openly share practical guidance on the assessment process, checklists, MDTs (multi‑disciplinary teams), appeals and reviews.
This shared expertise helps you advocate effectively for your patients and contribute to robust, defensible CHC decisions.

Safe Discussion of Complex CHC Cases

CHC caseloads often involve individuals with highly complex needs, multiple comorbidities and challenging family dynamics.
Our confidential groups offer a professional environment to discuss anonymised cases, share strategies for risk management, and explore person‑centred solutions.
This collaborative approach supports safer care planning and more consistent application of CHC criteria.

Support Around Care Transitions and Discharge Planning

Transitions between hospital, community and care settings can be high‑risk moments for people with CHC funding.
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network share tools and checklists for managing safe discharges, continuity of care, and communication with wider multidisciplinary teams.
This peer support helps you reduce avoidable delays, safeguarding concerns and breakdowns in care packages.

Events, Webinars and Community Meet‑Ups

We run regular CHC events – including meet‑ups, webinars, online Q&A sessions and informal gatherings – to bring our community together.
These events provide opportunities to network, share updates on CHC policy changes, and learn from speakers with specialist experience in Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Our events programme is designed to keep you informed, connected and motivated in your CHC nursing career.

Information Sharing 24/7 via Private Social Media Groups

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is active 24‑7‑365 through a series of confidential, invitation‑only social media groups.
Nurses use these spaces to ask questions, flag urgent professional issues, and share real‑time updates about CHC practice, guidance and local commissioning changes.
This round‑the‑clock access to peer knowledge can make your day‑to‑day work as an agency CHC nurse more manageable and less isolating.

Insight on Quality, Compliance and Best Practice

While we are a professional network rather than a regulator, our members regularly share experience around quality, compliance and best practice in CHC delivery.
Discussions often cover documentation standards, safeguarding responsibilities, MDT working, audit preparation and alignment with national frameworks.
This collective experience helps you strengthen your practice, whatever agency or setting you work in.
