CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Support, Training & Community for Nurses
Empowering CHC Nurses and Healthcare Organisations Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare organisations who want to improve CHC practice, strengthen compliance, and enhance patient outcomes.
Bringing together a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we provide specialist CHC training, consultancy, peer support, and networking opportunities, all designed by nurses, for nurses.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, complexity and responsibility that come with CHC work. Our mission is to make your professional life easier, more informed, and better connected – while supporting providers to deliver safe, person‑centred, legally compliant CHC services.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community and support platform for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, commissioning, case management, agency work, and health and social care settings linked to CHC.
We offer a relaxed, safe and confidential space where CHC nurses can connect, share experiences, raise professional issues, and access up‑to‑date training and guidance on all aspects of CHC practice and regulation.
Members interact 24/7/365 via invite‑only social media groups, online events, and in‑person meet‑ups, building long‑term friendships and professional networks that support both personal wellbeing and career progression.
Comprehensive CHC Training for Nurses and Care Providers
Expert Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DoLS Training
We provide specialist CHC training courses that equip nurses, care managers and multidisciplinary teams with in‑depth understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, assessment frameworks, funding systems and appeals.
Our sessions cover key areas such as Decision Support Tools (DSTs), robust evidence gathering, person‑centred documentation, Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) processes, and how to apply national frameworks in everyday practice.
All training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and professionals who have worked on both provider and commissioning sides, ensuring that what you learn is practical, current, and aligned with legal and regulatory requirements.
Pre‑CQC and Quality Assurance Preparation
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can feel overwhelming, particularly when CHC‑funded placements and complex packages of care are involved.
Our pre‑CQC support helps organisations and CHC nurses to understand CQC expectations, perform internal audits, close compliance gaps, and evidence safe, effective CHC care before the inspection day.
We focus on documentation, risk management, governance, patient experience, and continuous improvement, so your team feels confident, organised, and ready to demonstrate the quality of your CHC services.
Specialist Consultancy for CHC and Health & Social Care Settings
Safe Transitions and Discharge Planning in CHC
Transitions from hospital to home, between care providers, or into CHC‑funded placements can be complex and high‑risk for individuals and services.
Our CHC nurse consultants provide expert guidance on safe discharge, transition planning and coordination, ensuring continuity of care, effective communication, and person‑centred decision‑making at every stage.
By supporting nurses, commissioners, and providers, we help reduce breakdowns in packages, minimise readmissions, and improve the overall experience for patients and families.
Pre‑CQC Assessments and Compliance Reviews
We offer bespoke pre‑inspection assessments for care homes, domiciliary care agencies, and CHC‑linked services, tailored to your setting and service user group.
Our consultants review your policies, records, risk assessments and care plans against CQC standards and CHC expectations, then provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen compliance, governance and quality of care.
Working with the CHC Nurses Agency Network positions your organisation to showcase safe, effective, responsive and well‑led CHC‑related care when regulators visit.
Support Planning for People with Learning Disabilities Under CHC
Many individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) receive fully funded care through NHS Continuing Healthcare or joint funding arrangements.
We support nurses and providers to develop robust, person‑centred support plans that promote independence, dignity, positive risk‑taking, and community inclusion, while managing complex health, behavioural or communication needs.
Our approach helps you align LD support plans with CHC eligibility, safeguarding duties, Mental Capacity Act principles, and best‑interest decision‑making, supporting better outcomes and defensible practice.
Community, Networking & Peer Support for CHC Nurses
A Professional Network Built by CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a community where CHC nurses can relax, connect and be understood.
Members stay in touch through confidential invite‑only social media groups, where they share experiences, discuss complex cases (anonymously and ethically), and support each other with day‑to‑day professional pressures.
Many nurses in our network go on to form long‑term friendships and mentoring relationships, helping each other to navigate the challenges and opportunities of a CHC nursing career.
Regular CHC Events, Workshops and Meet‑Ups
We run regular online and in‑person events for CHC nurses, including workshops, webinars, Q&A sessions, and informal meet‑ups.
These events provide a relaxed environment to exchange best practice, explore case studies, learn about policy changes, and grow your professional network across the UK.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced case manager, our events will keep you up‑to‑date, connected, and inspired in your practice.
24/7 Access to Peer Support and Shared Knowledge
Through our 24‑7‑365 online community, you can reach out to fellow CHC nurses at any time to ask questions, share ideas, or seek support around professional challenges.
This constant access to peers who understand the unique demands of CHC nursing, agency work and commissioning helps reduce isolation and improves confidence in clinical and legal decision‑making.
CHC Case Management Guidance & Best Practice
Person‑Centred CHC Case Management Support
We help nurses, case managers and providers develop robust CHC case management approaches that place the individual and their family at the centre of decision‑making.
Our guidance covers holistic assessment, risk management, MDT working, goal‑setting, and review processes, ensuring CHC packages remain safe, proportionate, and aligned with changing needs.
By embedding person‑centred principles into every stage of the CHC pathway, we support improved quality of life, reduced complaints, and more sustainable care packages.
Strengthening Quality, Governance and Legal Compliance
We emphasise legally sound, defensible CHC practice, helping nurses and providers to meet relevant legislation, national frameworks, CQC standards, and safeguarding duties.
Our consultants and network resources can support you with policy development, documentation standards, audit tools, and reflective practice to underpin safe and high‑quality CHC care.
By working with the CHC Nurses Agency Network, you gain access to a collective knowledge base that helps you navigate complex clinical, ethical and legal issues with greater confidence.
