CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Nursing Support & Community

Connecting CHC Nurses, Enhancing Care, and Supporting Your Professional Journey

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional hub for nurses and healthcare organisations working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community care across the UK. We bring together experienced CHC nurses, agency nurses, and care providers to share expertise, deliver specialist training, and support safe, high-quality care.

With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we provide a confidential space to collaborate, solve complex CHC challenges, and access up‑to‑date guidance on policy, practice, and compliance. Our goal is to make life easier for CHC nurses, strengthen professional connections, and improve outcomes for people with complex needs.

A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses

Nursing in Continuing Healthcare can be demanding and isolating, which is why we have created a supportive community where only fellow nurses truly understand the pressures and responsibilities of the role. The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, ask questions, and share experiences with colleagues who face the same day‑to‑day realities.

Many nurses in our network build lasting friendships and stay in touch for years. We welcome new members into our private social media groups and events, where we openly share professional issues 24‑7‑365 via confidential, invite‑only channels.

Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development

We provide focused training and development opportunities for nurses and healthcare providers working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community services, and complex care. Our sessions are designed to increase confidence, enhance clinical and documentation skills, and support safe, person‑centred practice across care settings.

Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses, case managers, and healthcare professionals who understand national CHC frameworks, local commissioning processes, and CQC expectations. Content is practical, up‑to‑date, and directly relevant to day‑to‑day CHC nursing work.

Core CHC Training Topics

  • CHC Eligibility & Assessment: Understand the National Framework, checklist, MDT assessments, and decision‑making processes.
  • CHC and Community DoLS Application Process: Learn to navigate CHC funding, community placements, and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) confidently.
  • Documentation & Evidence for CHC: Improve clinical recording, risk assessments, and evidence to support CHC decisions.
  • Pre‑CQC Readiness & Compliance: Prepare services and teams for CQC inspections, focusing on safety, effectiveness, and person‑centred care.
  • Transitions in Healthcare & Discharge Planning: Manage complex discharges and transfers safely from hospital to home or community settings.
  • Care & Support Planning for Learning Disabilities (LD): Create personalised, outcome‑focused care plans for people with LD and complex needs.
  • Complex Case Management: Coordinate multi‑disciplinary input, manage risk, and support families in challenging cases.

Our training can be adapted for agency nurses, CHC teams, care homes, supported living providers, and domiciliary care agencies that support people funded through CHC or joint packages of care.

CHC Consultancy & Support for Healthcare Providers

Helping Organisations Deliver Safe, Compliant CHC and Community Care

Alongside our professional network, CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist consultancy and advisory support to healthcare providers delivering CHC and complex care packages. We help services strengthen compliance, improve quality, and align with CQC and commissioning expectations.

We work with care homes, community nursing providers, supported living organisations, and agencies to review policies, care pathways, and frontline practice to ensure they are safe, person‑centred, and well documented.

Pre‑CQC Assessments & Quality Improvement

  • Independent pre‑CQC reviews of CHC and complex care services.
  • Gap analysis against key lines of enquiry and regulatory standards.
  • Practical action plans to address risks and strengthen governance.
  • Support with policies, audits, and evidence of high‑quality care.

Person‑Centred Care Planning and Risk Management

Our experienced CHC nurses support providers to develop robust, person‑centred care and support plans for adults with complex physical health needs, learning disabilities, and mental health needs. We focus on safety, dignity, choice, and independence whilst meeting legal and regulatory requirements.

We can review and refine existing care plans, risk assessments, and escalation protocols to ensure they are clear, defensible, and aligned with CHC funding decisions and commissioning expectations.

Supporting Safe Transitions and Discharges

Transitions between hospital, home, and community services are high‑risk points for people funded by CHC. We provide guidance on safe discharge planning, handovers, and contingency planning so that services can manage complex transfers smoothly and reduce avoidable readmissions.

Our network can advise on roles, responsibilities, and communication pathways between acute trusts, CHC teams, social care, and independent providers, ensuring continuity of care at every stage.

Regular CHC‑Focused Events for Nurses and Providers

The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, workshops, and online sessions to help CHC nurses and care providers stay current with policy changes, clinical guidance, and best practice.
