CHC Nurses Agency Network: UK Continuing Healthcare Nurse Training, Support & Community
Specialist CHC Nursing Network for Training, Consultancy & Professional Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a national community of experienced Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, bringing together specialist training, peer support, and expert consultancy for healthcare professionals and organisations across the UK.
Built by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses, our network is designed to make professional life easier, deepen your understanding of CHC processes, and connect you with colleagues who truly understand the pressures and rewards of nursing in complex care environments.
Through regular events, specialist CHC training, and confidential online groups, we help nurses and healthcare providers improve the quality of care, strengthen regulatory compliance, and achieve better outcomes for patients with complex, long-term healthcare needs.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a trusted hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses who want to grow their careers, build professional connections, and stay up to date with the latest CHC guidance, best practice, and NHS frameworks.
Our community includes over 500 CHC nursing professionals who share insight, discuss complex cases, and support one another 24/7/365 via invite-only, confidential social media groups and dedicated networking events.
We also work closely with healthcare organisations, providing CHC training, consultancy, and case management support to help them navigate CHC funding, assessments, and ongoing care planning safely and effectively.

Specialist CHC Areas of Support
Transitions in Complex Care & Continuing Healthcare
Safe and seamless transitions between hospital, community, and long-term care settings are essential for individuals eligible for CHC funding.
Our CHC nurses support providers and families to plan and coordinate complex care transitions, ensuring continuity, minimising avoidable delays, and protecting patient safety throughout the process.
Person-Centred Care Planning for Complex & Learning Disability Needs
We help develop personalised care and support plans for individuals with learning disabilities, complex physical health needs, and long-term conditions who are being considered for or are in receipt of CHC funding.
By collaborating with families, MDTs, and commissioners, our network promotes care planning that is evidence-based, person-centred, and aligned with CHC principles of dignity, independence, and choice.
CHC Funding, Eligibility & Application Support
Understanding the CHC funding system can be challenging for both professionals and families.
We offer training and guidance on CHC funding, including eligibility criteria, assessment pathways, dispute resolution, and reviewing decisions, enabling staff to advocate effectively and maintain compliance with the National Framework.
Events, Workshops & Peer Networking for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events—online and in person—to bring our community together, share best practice, and discuss current CHC issues.
Our events include:
- Practical CHC workshops and masterclasses
- Peer discussion sessions and case study reviews
- Networking events for agency CHC nurses across the UK
- Guest speaker sessions with CHC, legal, and commissioning experts
These sessions are a space to relax, connect, and learn alongside nursing professionals who understand the realities of CHC work.
Expert CHC Case Management & Complex Care Coordination
Our network includes experienced CHC case managers who specialise in coordinating complex health and social care packages for individuals in receipt of CHC funding.
We work closely with patients, families, care providers, and commissioners to:
- Develop safe, person-centred care plans
- Coordinate multidisciplinary input and reviews
- Monitor quality and outcomes in complex care packages
- Ensure ongoing compliance with CHC requirements and standards
This holistic approach helps maintain high-quality, sustainable care that improves quality of life for people with complex, long-term healthcare needs.
