CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Community for Continuing Healthcare Nurses
Specialist Support, Training, and Community for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated UK-wide community and consultancy service for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare professionals working in complex care.
We bring CHC nurses together to share knowledge, build professional connections, access expert training, and receive guidance on CHC practice, case management, care planning, regulatory compliance, and career development.
Our mission is to support agency nurses, nursing teams, and healthcare organisations in delivering safe, effective, and person-centred care while staying fully aligned with NHS Continuing Healthcare frameworks, CQC standards, and best practice.
A Supportive Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Professional Space to Connect, Learn, and Relax
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is designed as a safe, relaxed, and supportive environment where agency nurses can connect with colleagues who truly understand the demands, pressures, and rewards of nursing.
Only another nurse really understands the daily stress, emotional load, and responsibility that come with complex care and CHC work; our network provides that much-needed sense of belonging, empathy, and peer support.
Through our private social media groups and regular events, members can share experiences, ask questions, discuss clinical and professional issues, and support each other 24/7.
A Growing Community of CHC Professionals
We currently support a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals from across the UK, working in a variety of clinical and community settings.
Many members stay in touch for years, build genuine friendships, and collaborate professionally long-term, creating a strong sense of community and continuity in the often-isolated world of agency nursing.
We welcome new members into our community to join our invite-only, confidential social media groups and attend our specialist CHC events and workshops.
Professional Development & CHC Training for Agency Nurses
Enhancing CHC Skills, Knowledge, and Confidence
We offer targeted training and development opportunities for CHC agency nurses who want to build their expertise, grow their careers, and deliver the highest standard of care.
Our sessions are delivered by experienced CHC professionals and cover the key areas that matter most to agency nurses working within NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care packages.
Whether you are new to CHC or a highly experienced professional, our content is designed to strengthen your practice, boost your confidence, and support your professional progression.
Key Training and Learning Areas
- CHC eligibility and assessments – understanding the National Framework, decision support tools, and funding processes.
- Person-centred care planning – writing robust CHC care plans, risk assessments, and reviews for complex needs.
- Care transitions – managing safe transfers of care between hospital, home, and community settings.
- CQC readiness and compliance – preparing documentation and practice to support positive inspection outcomes.
- Supporting people with learning disabilities and complex needs – best practice, reasonable adjustments, and communication.
- Case management in CHC – coordinating multi-disciplinary input, monitoring packages, and advocating for patients.
Expert CHC Consultancy for Nurses and Organisations
Pre-CQC Support and Quality Improvement
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also offers healthcare consultancy services for providers, agencies, and teams working within Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
We can support services to prepare for CQC inspections by reviewing documentation, policies, and clinical practice, and by highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.
Our consultancy input is focused on quality, safety, and regulatory compliance, helping teams demonstrate robust governance, safe staffing, person-centred care, and effective oversight of CHC packages.
Safe and Seamless Transitions of Care
Transitions between hospital, home, residential care, and complex community packages are a high-risk point in the care journey, particularly for people eligible for Continuing Healthcare.
We provide specialist guidance on transitions of care, helping nurses and organisations develop processes that prioritise safety, communication, and continuity.
Through clear care plans, handover tools, and risk management strategies, we support improved outcomes and reduced avoidable readmissions or breakdowns in care packages.
Support for People with Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many CHC packages involve people with learning disabilities, autism, mental health needs, or multiple long-term conditions.
Our network promotes person-centred, rights-based practice, helping nurses create care plans that uphold independence, dignity, communication preferences, and choice.
We draw on evidence-based approaches and share practical guidance through our community and events to support safe, respectful, and empowering care for people with learning disabilities.
Events, Workshops, and CHC Networking Opportunities
Regular CHC-Focused Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events tailored specifically to agency nurses and professionals working in Continuing Healthcare.
Our seminars, webinars, and workshops explore the latest CHC policies, National Framework updates, clinical best practice, inspection trends, and real-world challenges in complex care delivery.
These events are designed to be practical, interactive, and immediately useful, giving attendees tools and insights they can apply directly in their roles.
Building Your Professional Network
Beyond training, our events provide valuable networking opportunities to meet fellow CHC agency nurses, case managers, and healthcare leaders from across the UK.
Many members use the network to find mentors, explore new roles, collaborate on complex cases, and share opportunities within the CHC and complex care sector.
This combination of education, support, and networking helps agency nurses feel less isolated and more connected to a wider professional community.
Case Management Support and CHC Practice Excellence
Specialist CHC Case Management Insights
Effective case management is at the heart of safe and sustainable CHC packages, especially where needs are complex and multi-disciplinary input is required.
Through our community, training, and consultancy, we share best practice in CHC case management, from assessment and planning to review and escalation.
We support nurses in developing clear, defensible documentation that aligns with CHC funding criteria while keeping the person at the centre of all decisions.
Improving Outcomes for Patients and Professionals
Our focus is on improving outcomes for both patients and nurses by promoting safe staffing, realistic expectations, and collaborative working across agencies, commissioners, and providers.
By sharing tools, templates, and peer experiences, we help CHC nurses manage complex caseloads more effectively and advocate for the resources needed to deliver safe care.
This ultimately contributes to better patient experiences, more stable CHC packages, and improved job satisfaction for agency nurses.
