CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Support & Community for Agency Nurses
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Support, Training and a Strong Professional Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK. We combine specialist CHC training, consultancy support, and a thriving peer network to help agency nurses develop their careers, improve practice, and deliver safe, high-quality patient care.
Our private nurse-led network is a supportive space where CHC agency nurses can connect, learn, share challenges, and access expert guidance on complex CHC assessments, community DoLS, care planning and compliance.
A Professional Network Exclusively for CHC Agency Nurses
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the demands and pressures of nursing, especially within CHC. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, confidential community where you can ask questions, gain insight from experienced CHC professionals, and build long-term professional and personal relationships.
With over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals in our core network, members regularly keep in touch, collaborate on professional issues and support each other through day-to-day challenges and complex clinical scenarios.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Our network is supported by invite-only social media groups that operate 24-7-365, enabling nurses to discuss CHC cases, share best practice, and access rapid advice from peers. These confidential groups are ideal for agency nurses who may not have daily access to a fixed clinical team but still want a strong professional support network.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & CPD Opportunities
We run regular online and in-person events, including webinars, workshops, Q&A sessions and informal meet-ups for CHC agency nurses. These events provide opportunities to develop your CHC expertise, stay updated on policy changes, and build connections with nurses who face similar professional challenges and career journeys.
Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Teams
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers targeted training programmes designed around the real-world needs of agency nurses and healthcare providers working with NHS Continuing Healthcare. Our courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurses who combine clinical expertise with hands-on case and panel experience.
Training is suitable for registered nurses, CHC assessors, case managers and care staff involved in CHC assessments, care planning, commissioning and review processes.
CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Decision-Making Training
We provide practical training on CHC eligibility criteria, the National Framework, DST completion, MDT working and panel preparation. Nurses learn how to complete robust assessments, document clinical evidence clearly, and present cases confidently so that funding decisions are fair, defensible and aligned with national policy.
Community DoLS and Legal Compliance Training
Our specialist Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) training supports nurses to understand legal frameworks, documentation requirements and best practice in assessing and managing restrictions. We focus on ensuring that care remains least restrictive, person-centred and fully compliant with current legislation and guidance.
Training in Transitions of Care & Complex Care Planning
We offer courses covering safe transitions between hospital, community and care home settings, with an emphasis on risk management, communication and coordination. Nurses learn how to create person-centred CHC care plans, manage complex needs, and ensure continuity of care for individuals at key transition points.
CHC Consultancy and Support for Healthcare Organisations
Alongside our nurse network, CHC Nurses Agency Network offers healthcare consultancy services to commissioners, providers and agencies who work within NHS Continuing Healthcare pathways. Our experienced CHC nurse consultants help services strengthen pathways, improve decision-making, and enhance quality and compliance.
CHC Pathway Review, Quality Assurance & Compliance
We support organisations to review their CHC processes, policies and documentation to ensure alignment with the National Framework, local policies and regulatory expectations. Our consultants identify gaps, highlight risk areas and provide clear, actionable recommendations to improve quality, efficiency and governance.
Person-Centred Care Planning for Complex and LD Cases
Our team specialises in developing person-centred support plans for individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex health needs funded through CHC or joint packages. We work closely with families, multidisciplinary teams and care providers to create plans that promote independence, dignity and safety, underpinned by evidence-based practice.
Case Management & Ongoing CHC Support
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides case management support for individuals with CHC funding and for organisations seeking expert input into complex cases. Our experienced CHC case managers coordinate care, liaise with MDTs, and help ensure that packages of care remain appropriate, safe and value for money.
Expert CHC Case Management for Complex Needs
We work directly with individuals, families, providers and commissioners to ensure that CHC-funded care packages are correctly specified, implemented and reviewed. Our focus is on holistic assessment, clear communication and robust documentation so that individuals receive the right care at the right time, in the right setting.
Support with Reviews, Appeals and Disputes
Where CHC cases involve reviews, appeals or disputes, our consultants can support with case analysis, evidence preparation and expert clinical opinion. We help organisations and nursing professionals navigate complex scenarios whilst maintaining person-centred care and adherence to the National Framework.
CHC Events, Webinars & Sector Networking
We host and participate in a range of CHC-focused events, including webinars, workshops, conferences and peer networking sessions. These are designed to keep CHC agency nurses and healthcare leaders up to date with the latest policy changes, case law, best practice and clinical developments.
Our events also create space for meaningful networking, where nurses can build connections, collaborate, and often form friendships that last for many years.
