CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Nurses, Training & Support


CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Nursing, Training & Support

A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and support hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency nursing professionals working across the UK. We bring together experienced CHC nurses, care providers and healthcare organisations to share knowledge, improve practice and support each other in delivering safe, high-quality care.

Our network provides a unique space where CHC agency nurses can relax, connect and develop professionally, knowing that only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional demands that come with our role.

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Community & Consultancy

Through our private social media groups, regular events and specialist training, we support nurses and healthcare organisations to navigate the complex world of NHS Continuing Healthcare, CQC compliance and complex care case management. Our growing core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals shares real-world experience, resources and advice 24/7/365.

A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

Being an agency nurse in Continuing Healthcare can feel isolating, especially when dealing with complex cases and high expectations. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, confidential space where nurses can:

  • Connect with other CHC agency nurses who understand the realities of the job.
  • Share professional issues, challenges and best practice in confidence.
  • Access peer support at any time, from anywhere in the UK.
  • Build long-term friendships and professional relationships.
  • Stay up to date with changes in CHC policy, funding and regulations.

Many nurses who join our network not only gain professional support but also make genuine friendships that last for years.

Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Learning Opportunities

We run regular events designed specifically for CHC agency nurses and professionals involved in Continuing Healthcare. These include:

  • Online and in-person networking sessions for CHC agency nurses.
  • Workshops and webinars on CHC assessments, reviews and funding.
  • Discussion sessions on real-life CHC case studies and care planning.
  • Informal meet-ups to relax, debrief and connect with colleagues.

Our events are built around community, learning and support, helping you stay informed, connected and confident in your CHC nursing practice.

Private Social Media Groups for 24/7 Professional Support

At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are our confidential, invite-only social media groups, where around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals share:

  • Questions and advice on complex CHC eligibility and assessment issues.
  • Updates on national CHC guidance, frameworks and policy changes.
  • Resources, templates and tools for care planning and documentation.
  • Support with professional boundaries, workload, stress and burnout.
  • Information about training, jobs, contracts and local opportunities.

We welcome new members into our network and invite them to join our private groups and events, ensuring that no CHC agency nurse has to face professional challenges alone.

Specialist CHC Training & Consultancy for Nurses and Organisations

Alongside our community support, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist training and consultancy to help both individual nurses and healthcare organisations improve confidence, compliance and outcomes in Continuing Healthcare.

CHC Training for Agency Nurses

We provide practical, evidence-based CHC training courses tailored to agency nurses and professionals working in community, hospital and complex care settings. Our programmes cover topics such as:

  • Understanding the NHS Continuing Healthcare framework and national tools.
  • Undertaking CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs) and reviews.
  • Care planning and documentation for CHC-funded packages of care.
  • Working effectively with ICBs, local authorities and MDTs.
  • Professional practice, boundaries and record-keeping in CHC work.

Training is delivered by experienced CHC professionals who understand both the clinical and regulatory aspects of Continuing Healthcare.

Pre-CQC Readiness & Compliance Support

For care providers and organisations working with CHC-funded clients, we offer pre-CQC readiness and consultancy to help you demonstrate safe, effective and well-led care. Our support can include:

  • Reviewing CHC-related care plans, risk assessments and records.
  • Assessing how well your service meets CQC key questions and KLOEs.
  • Identifying gaps in staff training, CHC processes and governance.
  • Practical recommendations to improve quality, safety and compliance.

Our goal is to make CQC inspections less stressful by supporting you to build strong, consistent systems around CHC and complex care.

Specialist Support in Care & Support Planning

Transitions in Continuing Healthcare

Transitions such as hospital to home, care home to community, or service-to-service moves are high-risk points for people with CHC eligibility. We provide guidance and consultancy to help ensure:

  • Safe, well-coordinated discharges and transfers.
  • Continuity of care with clear communication between teams.
  • Accurate, up-to-date care plans and risk assessments.
  • Support for families and patients through complex transitions.

Our focus is on reducing risk, avoiding gaps in care and promoting patient safety at every stage of the journey.

Learning Disabilities (LD) CHC Care & Support Plans

Many people with learning disabilities receive or may be eligible for CHC funding. We support nurses and providers to develop person-centred, evidence-based LD care plans that:

  • Promote independence, communication and choice.
  • Address behavioural, sensory and physical health needs.
  • Reflect the person’s goals, preferences and family input.
  • Meet legal and regulatory expectations, including MCA and DoLS.

Our LD-focused expertise helps ensure that CHC-funded support is both clinically robust and genuinely person-centred.

Case Management, CHC Funding & Regulation Support

CHC Case Management Support

We work with nurses, families and care providers to support effective case management for CHC-funded individuals, with an emphasis on:

  • Developing and reviewing individualised care and support plans.
  • Coordinating input from multidisciplinary teams and agencies.
  • Ensuring that clinical, emotional and social needs are all considered.
  • Monitoring outcomes and adjusting care as needs change.

Our approach is collaborative, practical and focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for individuals and families.

Community DoLS & CHC Funding Guidance

The interaction between CHC funding, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and community-based support can be complex. Through our network and consultancy, we help nurses and providers to:

  • Understand the key steps in CHC eligibility, review and appeal processes.
  • Recognise when DoLS / Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) may be required.
  • Document restrictions and best interests decisions appropriately.
  • Work with ICBs and local authorities to remain legally compliant.

Our guidance simplifies the complexities of funding and legal frameworks, helping you to stay compliant and confident in your practice.
