CHC Nurses Agency Network: Training, Events & Support

CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Nursing Community, Training & Consultancy

Connecting, Supporting and Developing Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community for nurses and healthcare professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and community-based services. We bring together experienced agency nurses, CHC practitioners and healthcare providers to share knowledge, access expert training and build long-lasting professional connections.

Our Network provides a safe, supportive space to discuss real-world CHC nursing challenges, from assessments and fast-track funding to person-centred care planning and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working. Through events, private social media groups, consultancy and specialist training, we help nurses grow their careers while helping organisations deliver consistent, high-quality CHC services.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just a professional group – it is an active, close-knit community of over 500 CHC agency nurses and healthcare professionals who support each other 24/7, 365 days a year. We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressures, responsibility and emotional impact that come with complex care and CHC work.

Members of our Network gain access to confidential, invite-only social media groups, regular online and in-person events, and opportunities to collaborate with like-minded professionals nationwide. Many of our members not only build strong professional networks but also form lasting friendships that continue for years.

Our Core Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Organisations

Professional Community & Peer Support

At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our thriving community of CHC agency nurses. We provide:

Private, moderated social media groups where nurses can share experiences, ask questions and access peer support around the clock.
Safe, confidential discussion spaces for talking openly about clinical challenges, workload pressures, agency work and Continuing Healthcare processes.
Peer-to-peer mentoring opportunities for nurses new to CHC or transitioning into agency roles.

This collaborative environment helps CHC nurses feel less isolated, build confidence and improve their practice through shared learning and real-life insight.

CHC Training, Workshops & Masterclasses

We offer specialist Continuing Healthcare training and education tailored to agency nurses, case managers and independent practitioners. Our training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and healthcare professionals and typically covers:

Understanding the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care (FNC).
Eligibility, screening and Decision Support Tool (DST) documentation.
Best practice in person-centred assessments and complex care planning.
Clinical documentation, evidence gathering and MDT preparation.
Legal, ethical and regulatory responsibilities in CHC.

Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner, our programmes are designed to strengthen your knowledge, build confidence in complex decision-making and support regulatory compliance.

Consultancy & Support for Healthcare Providers

In addition to supporting individual nurses, CHC Nurses Agency Network works with care providers, case management companies and other healthcare organisations to improve the quality and consistency of CHC-related services. Our consultancy support can include:

Service reviews and gap analysis related to CHC processes and documentation.
Guidance on care planning, risk management and complex community packages.
Preparation support for CQC inspections and regulatory reviews linked to CHC-funded care.
Advice on working effectively with ICBs, CHC teams and multi-disciplinary partners.

Our goal is to help organisations deliver safe, effective, person-centred care while navigating CHC funding pathways and regulatory requirements confidently.

Events, Networking & Knowledge-Sharing

We run a range of regular events to bring our CHC nursing community together, both online and face to face. These include:

Educational webinars and workshops led by CHC experts.
Informal networking sessions to connect agency nurses and practitioners.
Panel discussions on current issues in Continuing Healthcare, policy updates and best practice.

Our events create opportunities to learn, ask questions, share experiences and extend your professional network, all in a relaxed, understanding environment designed specifically for CHC nurses.

Supporting High-Quality, Person-Centred CHC Nursing

Complex Care, Learning Disabilities & Community-Based Support

Many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network specialise in complex care, learning disabilities (LD), autism and long-term conditions in community settings. Through our Network, nurses share:

Approaches to person-centred support planning for people with LD, mental health needs or multiple co-morbidities.
Strategies for promoting independence, dignity and safety in people’s own homes or supported living.
Practical tools for risk assessment, communication and family engagement.

This shared expertise helps CHC nurses deliver more consistent and compassionate care, improving outcomes for individuals with complex and long-term care needs.

Case Management, Coordination & MDT Working

Effective case management is vital in Continuing Healthcare. Through our training and peer discussions, we support nurses and practitioners in:

Coordinating complex care packages across community, acute and social care settings.
Preparing for and contributing effectively to MDT meetings and CHC reviews.
Balancing clinical, emotional and social needs within person-centred care plans.
Working collaboratively with families, advocates and commissioners.

By sharing real-world case studies and best practice, we help CHC nurses refine their skills and deliver well-coordinated, holistic care.
