A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Connect, Share and Learn
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is first and foremost a community where CHC and agency nurses can connect with others who truly understand the pressures and rewards of nursing.
We host an active, confidential, invite-only network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who share real-world challenges, solutions and support 24/7, 365 days a year.
Private Social Media Groups and Ongoing Peer Support
Members gain access to our private social media groups, where nurses can discuss professional issues, share opportunities, ask clinical or CHC-related questions and access peer-led advice in a safe environment.
Many of our members build lasting friendships and professional connections that continue for years, helping to reduce isolation and stress in agency nursing.
Regular CHC Events, Meet-Ups and Networking
Bringing CHC Nurses Together
We organise regular CHC-focused events, workshops and informal meet-ups to bring our community together both online and in person.
These events enable CHC and agency nurses to share experiences, build confidence and stay informed about the latest developments in Continuing Healthcare.
Professional Development Through Community
Our events cover a range of CHC topics including eligibility, assessments, documentation, case management, advocacy and best practice in complex community care.
Attending network events supports your Continuing Professional Development (CPD), broadens your knowledge and helps you build a strong CHC career pathway.
Specialist CHC Training and Education for Nurses
Comprehensive CHC Training for Agency and CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers structured training programmes tailored to nurses working in or entering the Continuing Healthcare sector.
Our courses cover CHC eligibility, assessments, Decision Support Tool (DST) processes, documentation, care planning, multidisciplinary team (MDT) working and NHS-funded care pathways.
Practical, Real-World Learning
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and consultants who understand the practical realities of agency work, community care and complex caseloads.
We focus on clear, applicable learning that builds confidence in CHC processes, improves documentation quality and supports robust, defensible clinical decision-making.
CHC Consultancy, Case Management and Organisational Support
Expert Guidance for Complex CHC Cases
For healthcare organisations, case managers and providers, we offer expert CHC consultancy and case management support on complex or high-risk cases.
Our consultants assist with clinical review, robust care planning, documentation, risk management and alignment with national CHC frameworks and NHS guidance.
Supporting Quality, Compliance and Best Practice
We work alongside providers and teams to strengthen CHC pathways, improve communication with families and MDTs, and promote safe, person-centred care for individuals with complex needs.
Our aim is to help organisations achieve consistently high standards while supporting the wellbeing and professional development of the nurses delivering care.
Pre-CQC Readiness and Quality Improvement for CHC Services
Preparing CHC Services for CQC Inspection
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports services commissioned to deliver CHC-funded care with pre-CQC assessments and quality audits.
We review policies, documentation, care plans, governance processes and clinical practice to ensure CHC-funded services are inspection-ready and aligned with regulatory expectations.
Embedding Safe, Effective and Person-Centred Care
Our team provides practical recommendations to strengthen quality, patient safety and person-centred practice for people with complex health needs in community and residential settings.
We help services evidence outcomes, demonstrate compliance and showcase good practice to commissioners, CQC and other regulators.
Person-Centred Care & Support Planning for Complex Needs
Supporting People with Long-Term and Complex Health Needs
Many CHC-funded individuals live with multiple long-term conditions, learning disabilities, neurodiversity or acquired brain injury.
We support nurses and providers to develop person-centred, strengths-based care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and safety in the least restrictive way.
Holistic, Evidence-Based Support
Our approach considers physical health, mental wellbeing, communication, behaviour, social needs and family involvement.
We use evidence-based frameworks and best practice to ensure care plans are practical, meaningful and reflective of each person’s unique goals and preferences.
