CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Support & Consultancy for Nurses

Supporting CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Training, Guidance & Community

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy specialising in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care. We connect, train and support CHC agency nurses, care staff and healthcare organisations to deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care.

Through specialist CHC training, consultancy, case management support and an active peer network, we help nurses and providers navigate the complexities of CHC eligibility, funding, assessments, transitions and regulatory standards. Whether you are an individual agency nurse or a healthcare organisation, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to help you improve care quality, compliance and confidence in CHC practice.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional support hub and a specialist CHC consultancy service. We provide:

• Exclusive online groups for CHC agency nurses to share experience and advice.
• Regular events, webinars and workshops focused on CHC practice and regulations.
• Training and consultancy for care providers, agencies and organisations delivering CHC-funded care.
• Access to a core network of around 500 CHC nursing professionals for peer learning, mentoring and professional development.

Only nurses fully understand the realities of nursing work. Our network creates a safe, supportive space where CHC agency nurses can connect, debrief, learn and grow together while staying up-to-date with current CHC standards and best practice.

Our Core Services for CHC Nurses & Healthcare Organisations

CHC Transitions in Healthcare

Transitions between care settings are high‑risk points for patients and for providers, especially within Continuing Healthcare. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers expert guidance on CHC-related transitions, including:

• Hospital to home transitions for CHC-funded patients.
• Transfers between community, residential and nursing care settings.
• Coordination with multidisciplinary teams and commissioners.

Our experienced CHC nurses support organisations and agency staff to develop safe, well-documented transition plans that protect continuity of care, minimise avoidable readmissions and support positive outcomes for individuals with complex needs.

Pre-CQC Assessment & CHC Compliance Support

Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be challenging, particularly when delivering CHC-funded packages. We offer specialist pre-CQC assessment support tailored to CHC and complex care services, including:

• Reviews of CHC documentation, care plans and risk assessments.
• Audits of policies and procedures related to CHC eligibility, review and funding.
• Practical recommendations to evidence safe, effective and person-centred CHC care.

Our support helps providers and agency teams demonstrate CHC compliance, governance and quality of care, giving you greater confidence ahead of inspections and commissioner reviews.

Person-Centred Care & Support Plans for Learning Disabilities

Many CHC-funded individuals have learning disabilities (LD) and complex health needs. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers to create robust, person-centred care and support plans that reflect:

• Individual communication needs, preferences and goals.
• Daily living support, behaviour support and community inclusion.
• Clinical needs, risk management and emergency planning.

We work collaboratively with families, MDTs and care teams to ensure that support plans are holistic, strengths-based and aligned with CHC frameworks, while always protecting dignity, safety and independence.
