CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training & Support
Your Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses, Training and Healthcare Consultancy
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and agency nursing across the UK. We bring together highly skilled CHC agency nurses, provide specialist training and guidance, and support healthcare organisations to deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Our network is built by nurses, for nurses. We understand the realities of agency work, the pressures of CHC assessments, and the challenges of navigating complex care pathways. Through consultancy, events, online communities and tailored support, we help nurses and providers improve outcomes, maintain compliance and develop fulfilling professional careers.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a welcoming space where CHC and agency nurses can relax, connect and grow professionally. Our core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays in touch via confidential, invite-only social media groups, sharing knowledge, support and real-world experience 24-7-365.
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our network together. Many members build long-term friendships, form peer-support groups and collaborate on professional opportunities. Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner, our network offers a trusted place to ask questions, share challenges and celebrate successes.
Join Our Private CHC Agency Nurse Community
New members are warmly welcomed into our private social media groups and events. Within our secure online spaces, nurses openly discuss professional issues, share updates on CHC policy and practice, and offer practical advice based on day-to-day experience in the field. This peer network helps reduce isolation, improves confidence and supports continuous learning.
Comprehensive Healthcare Transitions & CHC Support
Transitions between care settings are critical moments for patients and providers, especially within NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex community packages. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers expert support to help organisations and nurses manage safe, effective transitions of care for adults with complex health needs.
Our experienced CHC nurses can advise on discharge planning, community package set-up, risk management and coordination between hospitals, community teams, care homes and home-care providers. We promote continuity of care, clear communication and person-centred planning to minimise risks, reduce readmissions and improve patient and family experience.
Personalised Transition and CHC Pathway Planning
We help build tailored transition plans that consider clinical needs, social context, funding status, CHC eligibility and patient preferences. By supporting multi-disciplinary teams, agency nurses and families, we ensure a seamless continuation of care across settings and give everyone involved a clear roadmap for next steps.
Preparing for CQC Inspections with Pre-CQC CHC-Focused Assessments
For providers delivering complex care and CHC-funded packages, CQC compliance is essential. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC assessments with a specific focus on CHC and complex community nursing, helping organisations identify gaps before inspection.
Our nurse consultants review your policies, care plans, risk assessments, governance arrangements and frontline practice against key CQC domains and CHC requirements. We provide clear, actionable feedback so you can strengthen quality, safety and documentation ahead of inspection and ongoing audits.
Strategies for Successful CQC Outcomes
By working with us, you gain an honest external review of your services, bespoke recommendations for improvement, and practical guidance for staff. We aim to increase your confidence in inspection readiness, support sustained regulatory compliance and embed a culture of continuous quality improvement within your CHC and complex care services.
Expert Support for Learning Disabilities (LD) Care & CHC Support Plans
Many individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) and autism require complex, CHC-funded or jointly funded care. CHC Nurses Agency Network specialises in person-centred care and support planning for people with LD, promoting safety, independence and quality of life.
Our nurses work alongside families, clinicians, support workers and commissioners to ensure that LD care and support plans are robust, evidence-based and aligned with current best practice and statutory guidance, including the principles of the Mental Capacity Act and human rights-based care.
Person-Centred, Rights-Focused Approaches
We design plans around each person’s strengths, communication needs, preferences and long-term goals. Our approach promotes autonomy, positive risk-taking and community inclusion while maintaining appropriate safeguards, dignity and respect at all times.
Holistic LD Care and Support
Our care and support planning covers daily living, health needs, behavioural support, social engagement and emotional well-being. We also help teams and families understand CHC frameworks, funding pathways and documentation requirements to support sustainable, person-centred packages of care.
