CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for UK Nurses
Your Trusted Partner for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Support in the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist nursing community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC), agency nursing and professional development across the UK. We connect experienced CHC nurses, provide expert training and guidance, and support healthcare organisations to deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care.
Combining in-depth CHC expertise with a strong, supportive nurses’ network, we help agency nurses, NHS teams, private providers and community services navigate complex CHC processes, improve care transitions and maintain high standards of regulatory compliance.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional community and a specialist CHC resource hub for nurses and healthcare organisations in the UK. Our private invite-only groups bring together around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share insights, support each other and collaborate daily.
We offer a relaxed, safe environment where nurses can discuss professional issues 24/7/365, ask questions, share learning, and access up-to-date information on CHC, care planning, risk management and regulatory changes. Many members build long-term friendships and peer-support relationships that last years.
Alongside our community focus, we also provide structured CHC training, consultancy and case management services to healthcare providers, helping them build confident, competent teams and improve outcomes for people eligible for CHC funding.
A Complete Range of CHC Training & Consultancy Services
Specialist CHC Training for Agency & Employed Nurses
Our targeted Continuing Healthcare training programmes are designed to equip nurses with the specialist knowledge and practical skills they need to excel in CHC roles. From understanding eligibility criteria to accurate completion of Decision Support Tools (DSTs), our courses are built around real-world practice.
Delivered by experienced CHC nurses, our training is suitable for newly transitioning agency nurses as well as experienced practitioners seeking to update their skills. We cover CHC frameworks, robust evidence gathering, person-centred documentation, risk assessments and effective multi-disciplinary working.
CHC Consultancy for Care Providers & Organisations
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides strategic CHC consultancy to NHS trusts, ICBs, private providers, care homes and community organisations. We help services improve CHC processes, strengthen governance and optimise patient outcomes.
Our consultancy support includes care planning audits, CHC process reviews, clinical documentation guidance, and preparation for CQC inspections. We work alongside your teams to identify gaps, reduce risk and implement sustainable improvements in CHC delivery and compliance.
Support with Care Transitions, CHC Pathways & Person-Centred Care
Managing Complex Care Transitions
Transitions between hospital, community and long-term care settings are a critical point in the CHC pathway. Our nurses support organisations and families to manage these transitions safely and smoothly, ensuring that eligibility, assessments and funding are appropriately considered throughout.
We focus on continuity of care, clear communication between teams, and robust discharge planning to minimise readmissions, reduce delays and support positive outcomes for individuals with complex health needs.
Care & Support for People with Learning Disabilities
Many individuals with learning disabilities (LD) have complex, long-term health needs that may meet CHC eligibility. We support nurses and care providers to develop bespoke, person-centred care plans that take into account physical, mental and social needs.
Using evidence-based approaches, we promote independence, dignity and safety, and ensure that CHC frameworks are applied fairly, consistently and in line with national guidance for people with LD and additional health conditions.
In-Depth Support with Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Processes
CHC & Community DoLS Application Training
Our CHC and Community DoLS training gives nurses and care teams clear, practical guidance on eligibility, assessment criteria, legal frameworks and documentation. We help professionals understand how CHC, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) interact in community settings.
Participants learn to complete checklists and DSTs effectively, articulate risks and needs clearly, and develop legally defensible, person-centred care plans that stand up to scrutiny and support the best interests of the individual.
CHC Events, Study Days & Networking Opportunities
We run regular CHC-focused events, workshops and study days that bring our community of agency nurses and healthcare professionals together. These sessions provide opportunities for learning, case discussions and networking with fellow CHC specialists.
Our events keep members up to date with national CHC policy changes, ICB processes and best practice, while also offering space to relax, share experiences and build long-term professional relationships.
Specialist CHC Case Management Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also offers expert case management support within CHC frameworks. Our experienced nurses work closely with individuals, families and multi-disciplinary teams to coordinate complex care packages.
We focus on holistic, person-centred care, ensuring that clinical, emotional and social needs are considered, and that resources are used efficiently while meeting all legal, regulatory and commissioning requirements.
A Supportive Community Just for CHC & Agency Nurses
Private Social Media Groups & Peer Support
We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressures and demands of nursing and CHC work. That’s why our network offers confidential, invite-only social media groups exclusively for CHC agency nurses and related professionals.
Members can share professional issues, seek advice, discuss challenging cases (respecting confidentiality), and support each other 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Many of our nurses form friendships and mentoring relationships that last long after individual contracts end.
Regular Meet-Ups, Events & Community Building
We run regular online and in-person meet-ups where members can relax, connect and build their professional networks in a friendly, informal environment. These events are ideal for agency nurses working in CHC who may otherwise feel isolated in their roles.
New members are warmly welcomed into our community and supported to settle in, connect with peers and access the right mix of education, guidance and social interaction.
