CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing, Training & Consultancy
The UK’s Dedicated Community for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together experienced Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses from across the UK to provide expert training, consultancy, and peer support for healthcare organisations, agency nurses, and care teams working in complex care.
Built by nurses for nurses, our network is a trusted hub for CHC training, CQC readiness, case management support, and professional networking, helping healthcare providers improve compliance, patient outcomes, and staff confidence in all aspects of NHS Continuing Healthcare.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
A Professional & Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a private, professionally focused community of around 500 CHC agency nurses who work across the UK in acute, community, mental health and social care settings.
We provide a safe space where nurses can connect, share knowledge, discuss complex CHC cases, and support one another with the daily challenges of agency nursing and Continuing Healthcare practice.
Private Social Media Groups & Ongoing Peer Support
Members of our network gain access to confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC nurses communicate 24/7/365 about professional issues, best practice, policy changes, and real-world CHC scenarios.
Many of our members not only build strong professional connections, but also form lasting friendships and ongoing support networks that follow them throughout their nursing careers.
Regular Events, Meet-Ups & Learning Opportunities
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, including networking meet-ups, CHC-focused Q&A sessions, and practical CPD learning opportunities.
These sessions help agency nurses stay updated on CHC frameworks, assessment tools, CQC expectations, and commissioning processes while strengthening their professional network.
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses & Care Teams
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Courses
Deepening Knowledge of CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Funding
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist training in NHS Continuing Healthcare tailored for nurses, agency staff, case managers, and multidisciplinary teams who support patients with complex health needs.
Our CHC training courses cover eligibility criteria, CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DST), appeals, funding pathways, care planning, risk management, and interface with social care, giving your team the confidence to navigate every step of the CHC process.
Flexible Training Options for Individuals & Organisations
We know that every organisation and agency nurse has different learning needs, so our CHC training can be delivered as online sessions, in-person workshops, small group training, or bespoke in-house programmes.
Whether you are new to CHC or looking to deepen advanced knowledge, we design practical, scenario-based training that reflects real-life Continuing Healthcare practice in the UK.
Workshops, Webinars & CHC Events
Stay Ahead of CHC Policy, Practice & Regulation
Our CHC workshops and webinars help nurses and healthcare providers stay up to date with changes in NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, commissioning policies, and legal frameworks.
Led by experienced CHC nurses and consultants, these events provide current insights, case discussions, practical examples and policy updates that can be applied immediately in clinical and community settings.
Networking With CHC Specialists
By attending our events, agency nurses and organisations gain direct access to a UK-wide network of CHC specialists who share tools, templates, and practical strategies for improving CHC assessments, documentation, and care coordination.
This collaborative environment strengthens clinical decision-making, multidisciplinary working, and person-centred Continuing Healthcare across different care settings.
CHC Consultancy for Healthcare Providers & Agencies
Pre-CQC Support & Quality Assurance
Preparing Your Service for CQC Inspection
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides consultancy and advisory services to healthcare providers and agencies who support patients eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare.
We offer pre-CQC readiness reviews focused on CHC-related care, documentation, risk management, and governance, helping you identify gaps, strengthen policies, and align with CQC expectations before formal inspection.
Person-Centred CHC & Learning Disability Support
Building Robust, Individualised Care Plans
Our experienced CHC nurses support services working with individuals who have learning disabilities, autism, complex physical health needs, or long-term conditions that may meet CHC eligibility.
We help teams develop evidence-based, person-centred care plans that promote independence, dignity, safety, and quality of life, while meeting all necessary CHC and regulatory requirements.
Case Management & Complex Care Support
Coordinated Support Across Health & Social Care
Where required, our network of CHC professionals can support with case management, complex care reviews, and care coordination for individuals funded by NHS Continuing Healthcare or jointly funded packages.
We focus on clear communication between agencies, ICBs, clinicians, and families, ensuring that care packages are safe, sustainable, and fully aligned with CHC recommendations and personal outcomes.
