CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist NHS Continuing Healthcare Training, Community & Support
Empowering CHC Nurses Through Expert Training, Professional Networking & Practical Consultancy
In the fast-changing world of UK health and social care, ongoing professional development and peer support are essential for delivering safe, effective and person‑centred Continuing Healthcare (CHC).
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated professional community and consultancy specialising in CHC training, support and networking for agency nurses, NHS teams and independent healthcare providers.
Bringing together more than 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, the network offers a unique combination of specialist CHC education, confidential peer support, practical consultancy and industry events.
Our aim is to help nurses and care organisations improve CHC decision‑making, streamline processes, and ultimately achieve better outcomes for people with complex, long‑term health needs.
Who Is CHC Nurses Agency Network?
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK‑based, nurse‑led community and consultancy primarily serving NHS Continuing Healthcare teams, agency nurses, case managers, care providers and commissioners.
Our core members are experienced CHC nurses who understand the realities of working in busy NHS and community settings, including the pressures of agency work, time‑limited assessments and complex caseloads.
We provide a supportive space where only another nurse truly understands your role – and where you can access up‑to‑date CHC training, clinical guidance, expert consultancy and a strong professional network that continues to support you throughout your career.
What Does CHC Nurses Agency Network Do?
1. Specialist CHC & Healthcare Training for Nurses and Teams
CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers focused Continuing Healthcare and clinical training designed for nurses working across NHS, agency and independent sectors.
Our training covers CHC eligibility, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, multidisciplinary team (MDT) working, complex care planning, safeguarding and regulatory compliance.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner seeking to update your knowledge, our live workshops, webinars and bespoke in‑house courses are delivered by CHC specialists who understand real‑world pressures, including time constraints, caseload demands and inter‑agency working.
2. CHC Consultancy, Case Support & Organisational Development
Alongside training, we provide consultancy support for NHS organisations, integrated care boards (ICBs), care providers and legal firms involved in CHC.
Our experts can review CHC processes, support complex case reviews, advise on appeals and retrospective claims, and help teams implement best practice in assessment, documentation and decision‑making.
We work closely with managers and clinical leads to identify gaps, streamline pathways and reduce risks, ensuring your CHC provision is robust, defensible and person‑centred, while remaining compliant with national frameworks and CQC expectations.
3. A Strong, Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A core strength of CHC Nurses Agency Network is our close‑knit professional community.
We run regular events, peer discussion sessions and informal meet‑ups so that nurses working in CHC can connect, share experience and support one another.
Many nurses in our network build lasting friendships and professional links that help them navigate the challenges of CHC work, agency contracts and career progression.
We understand the emotional and practical pressures of the role, and our network is designed to make your professional life easier, less isolated and more rewarding.
4. Private, Confidential Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch through a range of invite‑only, confidential social media groups.
These spaces are moderated and secure, enabling nurses to openly share professional issues, ask questions, discuss cases (anonymously and appropriately) and access support 24‑7‑365.
From quick clinical queries and policy clarifications to job leads and mentoring, our groups give you instant access to a trusted community of CHC specialists whenever you need them.
5. Transitions in Care and Complex Discharge Planning
Safe and effective transitions between hospital, community and long‑term care settings are central to good CHC practice.
We support nurses and organisations to design robust transition and discharge pathways that maintain continuity of care, minimise risk and uphold patient choice.
Our guidance helps teams coordinate between acute trusts, community services, care homes, domiciliary providers and families so that people with complex needs experience a smoother, more person‑centred journey through the system.
6. Pre‑CQC & Quality Readiness for CHC Services
We support providers and teams to prepare for CQC inspections, quality audits and internal reviews related to Continuing Healthcare and complex care.
Our specialists can review policies, procedures, documentation, governance frameworks and training records to highlight areas of strength and risk.
You receive practical recommendations aligned with CQC key questions (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, Well‑Led) and CHC national guidance, helping you demonstrate compliance, consistency and continuous improvement.
7. Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs Care Support
Many people eligible for CHC live with learning disabilities, autism or dual diagnoses.
We help nurses and teams develop personalised care and support plans that promote independence, dignity, communication and safety, in line with best practice and legal frameworks.
Our training and consultancy emphasise reasonable adjustments, positive risk‑taking, collaborative working with families and advocates, and person‑centred outcomes for individuals with LD and complex needs.
8. Specialist Training in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
A flagship focus of CHC Nurses Agency Network is our in‑depth Continuing Healthcare training.
We cover the full CHC pathway, including Checklist screening, MDT assessment, Decision Support Tool completion, eligibility criteria, Fast Track funding, appeals and ongoing review.
Our courses give nurses, case managers and coordinators the knowledge, templates and confidence to carry out fair, lawful and defensible CHC assessments, reducing the risk of disputes, complaints and costly retrospective claims.
9. Event Hosting, Webinars & Industry Networking
To keep our community up to date with the latest CHC developments, we host and participate in seminars, online webinars, workshops and networking events.
Topics include changes to CHC guidance, case law updates, documentation standards, safeguarding, and integrated care system (ICS/ICB) developments.
Many events are available in hybrid or fully virtual formats, making it easier for busy agency nurses and geographically dispersed teams to attend, learn and connect without travel.
10. Person‑Centred Case Management & Ongoing Support
We champion a person‑centred, holistic approach to CHC case management, ensuring that individuals with complex needs receive coordinated, outcome‑focused care.
Our guidance supports nurses in care planning, risk assessment, coordination of multi‑agency input and regular review.
Where required, we can provide ongoing advisory support to teams and individual practitioners after training or consultancy projects, helping you embed changes, monitor impact and maintain high standards over time.
