CHC Nurses Agency Network: Empowering CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy for nurses and healthcare providers working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and community settings.
We connect CHC agency nurses, case managers and care providers, offering expert guidance, practical support, networking opportunities and professional development focused on Continuing Healthcare practice and CQC compliance.
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
A Professional Network Built by CHC Agency Nurses
Founded and led by experienced CHC agency nurses, our network understands the real pressures of frontline nursing, complex home-care packages and the demands of CHC assessments and reviews.
Only another nurse truly understands the emotional load, responsibility and daily stress of our work, which is why we have created a safe, supportive and confidential space for around 500 CHC professionals to connect.
A Safe Community to Relax, Share and Grow
We provide private invite-only social media groups, online forums and in-person events where CHC agency nurses can relax, offload, share clinical and professional issues, and learn from each other 24/7, 365 days a year.
Many members build long-term friendships, peer mentoring relationships and professional collaborations that last for years and strengthen their careers in Continuing Healthcare.
What We Do for CHC Agency Nurses & Providers
Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development
Continuing Healthcare Knowledge & Skills
We support CHC agency nurses and providers with up-to-date knowledge on NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, CHC assessments, reviews, care planning and funding processes.
Through webinars, workshops and peer-led sessions, our members stay updated on CHC policy changes, National Framework guidance, documentation standards and MDT (multi-disciplinary team) expectations.
Practical CHC Documentation & Assessment Support
Our network shares best practice examples, templates and real-world tips for completing CHC documentation, DSTs, risk assessments and complex care plans to a high standard.
This practical support boosts confidence, improves compliance and helps agency nurses deliver safe, person-centred care that aligns with CHC and CQC requirements.
Pre-CQC Readiness Support for Providers
Preparing CHC Services for CQC Inspection
For care providers and agencies working with CHC packages, our network offers guidance on preparing for CQC inspections, with a particular focus on complex home-care and Continuing Healthcare services.
Members share insights on what inspectors look for, common pitfalls and practical steps to demonstrate safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led CHC care.
Improving Quality, Safety and Governance
Through discussion, shared resources and expert input from senior nurses and managers, we help providers identify gaps in training, documentation, governance and care delivery.
This collaborative approach supports continuous improvement, higher standards of care and better outcomes for people with complex health needs funded through CHC.
Person-Centred Complex Care & Learning Disability Support
LD Care & Support Planning in CHC and Community Settings
Promoting Independence, Dignity and Choice
Many of our members work with people who have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex behavioural needs within CHC and community care packages.
We promote person-centred, strengths-based care planning that focuses on independence, communication, dignity and quality of life for each individual.
Evidence-Based, Safe and Personalised Care
Through our network, nurses share LD care planning tools, behaviour support strategies and evidence-based interventions that enhance safety and wellbeing in home and community settings.
Our collaborative approach helps nurses deliver personalised, respectful and legally compliant care for people with Learning Disabilities and complex needs.
Case Management Guidance & Complex Care Coordination
Supporting CHC Case Managers & Lead Nurses
Navigating Complex CHC Pathways
Many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network are involved in case management, package setup and ongoing review of complex CHC-funded care.
Within our confidential groups, professionals discuss challenges such as staffing, safeguarding, clinical risk, escalation pathways and liaison with ICBs, local authorities and MDTs.
Better Outcomes for Patients and Families
Our shared learning focuses on improving communication, continuity of care and holistic, person-centred support for patients and their families.
By pooling experience from hundreds of CHC nurses, we help members enhance clinical outcomes, service user satisfaction and overall care quality.
Community, Networking & Peer Support
Regular CHC Events & Meet-Ups
Online and In-Person Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, including online webinars, Q&A sessions, study days and informal meet-ups for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare.
These events offer opportunities to connect, share experiences, ask questions and stay informed about the latest CHC practice, policy and regulatory updates.
Building a Strong Community of CHC Professionals
Most nurses in our network stay in touch regularly through our private groups, forming a supportive community of practice that spans agencies, providers and regions.
Many members become friends, colleagues and collaborators, supporting each other through the challenges and rewards of CHC nursing.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Support
Confidential, Invite-Only CHC Nurse Groups
Ongoing Professional Discussion & Advice
We host several confidential, invite-only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals share questions, experiences and resources every day.
Members can seek advice on complex cases, career choices, agency issues, documentation and professional dilemmas in a safe, supportive environment.
Peer-Led Support 24-7-365
Our groups are active day and night, reflecting the reality of shift work and on-call responsibilities in CHC and community nursing.
