CHC Nurses Agency Network: Professional CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Nurses and Care Providers

Supporting UK CHC Nurses with Expert Guidance, Training and a Strong Professional Network

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based platform bringing together Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses, agency nurses and care providers.
We combine professional CHC consultancy and training with a vibrant, confidential network that supports nurses in delivering safe, compliant, person‑centred care.

Our mission is to enhance CHC knowledge, improve care quality and strengthen compliance for organisations working with complex, long‑term care needs.
Through expert training, advisory services and peer-to-peer support, we help nurses navigate CHC funding, CQC expectations, transitions of care and case management with confidence.

With a core community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to learn, share, relax and build lasting professional relationships while developing your CHC career.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

A Professional Community for CHC and Agency Nurses

We are a growing network of CHC and agency nurses from across the UK who understand the realities of frontline practice—long shifts, complex cases, evolving guidance and the pressures of working in Continuing Healthcare.
Only another nurse truly understands that, which is why our network is built by nurses for nurses.

Members join our private, invite-only social media groups and online forums where they can safely and confidentially discuss real-world CHC issues, share experiences and seek peer advice 24‑7‑365.
Many nurses in our community become friends and remain in touch for years.

Regular Events, Networking and Peer Support

CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to keep members up to date on CHC practice while strengthening the sense of community.
These include informal meet‑ups, CPD‑oriented sessions, webinars and specialist workshops focused on Continuing Healthcare, case management and professional wellbeing.

Our events are designed to help nurses:

Build valuable professional contacts within the CHC sector
Share practical solutions to everyday CHC challenges
Stay current with evolving CHC policies, tools and frameworks
Develop confidence in complex assessment and care planning
Look after their own wellbeing in a demanding profession

Consultancy and Training Services for CHC Nurses and Care Providers

Transitions in Healthcare: Supporting Safe, Seamless Patient Journeys

Expert Guidance on Transfers of Care in CHC Settings

Transitions between hospital, community, care homes and home-based packages can be complex, especially for CHC‑funded individuals with multiple health needs.
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers to plan and manage these transitions safely and effectively.

Our advisors offer practical, nurse‑led guidance on:

Co‑ordinating multi‑disciplinary input during admissions and discharges
Maintaining continuity of care and avoiding gaps in provision
Updating care plans and risk assessments around each transition
Reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding patient safety

The emphasis is on person‑centred, well‑documented transitions that protect both patients and professionals while meeting NHS CHC and CQC expectations.

Pre‑CQC Support: Preparing for Safe, Compliant CHC Practice

Pre‑Inspection Reviews and Actionable Recommendations

Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can be especially challenging in settings that deliver CHC‑funded care, due to the level of complexity and risk.
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides pre‑CQC support to help you assess your current practice, documentation and governance before an inspection takes place.

We help you:

Review CHC documentation, care plans and risk assessments
Identify gaps in training, supervision or clinical oversight
Strengthen person‑centred records and evidence of outcomes
Develop realistic action plans ahead of inspection

Our nurse consultants focus on practical, evidence‑based changes that support safety, dignity and compliance across CHC services.

Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities (LD) Care and Support Plans

Person‑Centred, Evidence‑Based LD and Complex Care Planning

Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex needs often receive CHC or joint‑funded care that must be carefully planned and reviewed.
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers to develop high‑quality, person‑centred support plans that promote independence, choice and safety.

We assist with:

Creating and reviewing LD care and support plans
Embedding positive risk‑taking and least restrictive practice
Addressing communication needs, sensory profiles and behaviour support
Aligning plans with safeguarding, MCA and DoLS/Liberty Protection Safeguards

Our approach ensures daily living support, physical and mental health needs, and environmental safety are integrated into a holistic plan focused on quality of life.

CHC Training Programmes for Nurses, Agencies and Providers

Choosing the Right CHC Training for Your Team

CHC Nurses Agency Network offers tailored Continuing Healthcare training for nurses, agency staff, managers and multi‑disciplinary teams across the UK.
Our courses are designed to build confidence and competence in core CHC processes while remaining practical and grounded in real‑world practice.

Interactive Workshops, Resources and Ongoing Support

Our CHC training sessions are interactive and scenario‑based, encouraging nurses to bring real cases, ask questions and practise applying the National Framework to complex situations.
We regularly update course content to reflect current policy, guidance and case law relevant to Continuing Healthcare.

Attendees also gain access to:

Downloadable templates and checklists
Summary guides and quick reference tools
Follow‑up Q&A opportunities
Ongoing peer discussion within our private CHC network groups

This combination of structured training and peer support helps nurses embed learning and use it confidently in daily practice.

CHC‑Focused Events: Stay Connected, Informed and Inspired

Workshops, Webinars, Seminars and Networking Opportunities

CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in a wide range of CHC‑related events throughout the year, both virtually and face‑to‑face.
These events bring together nurses, case managers, commissioners and providers to explore new guidance, share best practice and discuss real‑life CHC challenges.

Typical events include:

Live webinars on updates to the National Framework and tools
Practical workshops on MDTs, DSTs and appeals
Panel discussions with experienced CHC practitioners
Informal networking sessions and peer support meet‑ups

By attending, members stay up to date, grow their professional network and feel less isolated in what can be a demanding area of practice.

Case Management Guidance: Person‑Centred, Co‑ordinated CHC Care

Supporting Nurses and Teams to Co‑ordinate Complex Cases

Effective case management is central to safe, sustainable CHC packages of care.
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides guidance and mentorship for nurses who are leading or contributing to complex case management and review processes.

We support you to:

Structure, document and review CHC care plans
Co‑ordinate with MDT members, families and external partners
Balance clinical risk, safety and patient choice
Use evidence effectively in reviews, reassessments and appeals

Our focus is always on personalised, person‑centred care that respects the individual’s goals while meeting professional and regulatory standards.

Seamless Communication and Collaboration

We promote robust communication and documentation practices to ensure every professional involved in a CHC package understands their role, responsibilities and the agreed care plan.
This reduces duplication, minimises risk and helps provide a smoother experience for individuals and their families.

Through our network, nurses can discuss challenging cases in a supportive, confidential environment and learn from others who have managed similar situations.
