CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist professional community and consultancy supporting agency nurses and healthcare organisations involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care, and community nursing.
We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy, and a thriving nationwide peer support network to help nurses deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care across hospitals, the community, and social care settings.
What We Do: Training, Consultancy & Professional Community
Our mission is to make working in CHC and complex care easier, safer, and more rewarding for agency nurses and the organisations that employ them.
We provide structured Continuing Healthcare training, care quality consultancy, case management support, and an active CHC nurse network that connects over 500 professionals 24/7 via private social media groups and in‑person events.
A Relaxed but Professional Space for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a welcoming space where agency nurses can relax, share experiences, and build professional contacts with colleagues who truly understand the realities of nursing.
Only another nurse really understands the pressures, responsibility, and emotional demands of the job, which is why our community is designed to be supportive, confidential, and non‑judgemental.
A Growing Nationwide Network of CHC Professionals
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay connected through invite‑only social media groups, regular meet‑ups, and specialist training events.
Many nurses build lasting friendships and mentoring relationships through the network, often remaining connected for years as they grow their careers in CHC and complex care.
Specialist Healthcare Training for CHC and Agency Nurses
We understand that ongoing education is essential for nursing excellence, particularly in specialist areas like Continuing Healthcare, community DoLS, and complex care planning.
Our CHC training programmes are designed specifically for agency nurses and healthcare organisations who need up‑to‑date knowledge, practical skills, and confidence when managing complex community cases.
CHC Training Courses for Nurses
We offer targeted training on key topics including:
- NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility and assessment processes
- Decision Support Tool (DST) and Checklist best practice
- Care planning for complex health needs in the community
- Working safely within CHC-funded packages and joint-funded care
- Documentation, evidence gathering, and multidisciplinary working
- Regulatory compliance with NHS, CQC, and local authority standards
Tailored Training for Teams and Organisations
Our training is fully customisable to the needs of agencies, care providers, and NHS partners, whether you are supporting newly qualified nurses or highly experienced practitioners requiring advanced CHC updates.
We deliver interactive workshops, webinars, seminars, and in‑person sessions that focus on real‑world case studies and practical application, not just theory.
Healthcare Consultancy & Pre‑CQC Support
Alongside training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy services to help agencies, care homes, and community providers improve quality, compliance, and outcomes in CHC and complex care settings.
Specialist Consultancy for CHC and Complex Care
Our experienced nurse consultants support organisations with:
- Clinical audits and quality improvement plans
- Policy and procedure development aligned with CHC pathways
- Improving documentation and care planning standards
- Strengthening safeguarding, risk management, and escalation processes
- Developing robust induction and supervision frameworks for CHC nurses
Pre‑CQC Assessments and Inspection Preparation
We provide pre‑CQC assessments to help organisations prepare effectively for Care Quality Commission inspections, with a specific focus on CHC and community complex care.
Our consultants identify areas for development, provide clear action plans, and support your team to become inspection‑ready while maintaining safe, person‑centred care.
Transitions of Care & Hospital Discharge to Home
Transitions between hospital, home, and other care settings can be high‑risk moments for people with complex health needs and CHC funding.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and organisations to manage these transitions safely, reducing avoidable readmissions and promoting continuity of care.
Safe and Seamless Transitions in Healthcare
We provide practical guidance to help teams coordinate hospital to home discharge, step‑down to community, and moves between providers, ensuring clinical information, equipment, and support are in place.
Our focus is always on patient safety, comfort, and dignity, while supporting nurses to work confidently within the CHC pathway and agreed care plans.
Example: Hospital to Home for CHC‑Funded Patients
We work with multidisciplinary teams to streamline discharge for CHC‑eligible individuals, ensuring community nurses have the right information, care plans, and instructions to deliver safe care at home.
By supporting structured discharge planning, we help prevent breakdowns in care, reduce crisis admissions, and improve overall patient and family experience.
Learning Disabilities (LD) Care & Support Planning
Many CHC and complex care cases involve individuals with learning disabilities (LD) who require highly personalised, person‑centred support.
Our network includes nurses experienced in LD care planning, positive risk management, and complex behaviour support in community settings.
Person‑Centred LD Support in CHC and Community Care
We help nurses and organisations design and deliver individualised care plans that prioritise dignity, independence, and quality of life while meeting complex health needs.
Using evidence‑based best practice, we ensure safety and regulatory compliance are maintained alongside genuine empowerment and choice for the person.
CHC and Community DoLS (DoLS/DOL) Application Training
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist training on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS/DOL) to help nurses navigate complex legal and funding frameworks.
Our courses are ideal for agency nurses, case managers, and care coordinators who need confidence in eligibility, documentation, best interests decision‑making, and legal safeguards.
Building Confidence with Complex CHC and DoLS Cases
Through real‑life case scenarios and guided practice, we help nurses build strong assessment, documentation, and advocacy skills required in CHC and DoLS work.
Participants leave with a clearer understanding of how to work with multidisciplinary teams, assess risk, and support lawful, person‑centred decision‑making.
Compliance, Governance and Best Practice
All of our training is aligned with the latest NHS, CQC, and safeguarding guidance, helping you reduce legal and clinical risk in complex CHC and DoLS cases.
We ensure your practice is defensible, well‑documented, and fully compliant with current frameworks, preparing you for scrutiny from commissioners, families, and regulators.
Specialist Case Management Support
Our case management support services are designed for individuals with complex, long‑term conditions who require coordinated input from multiple providers, often within CHC‑funded care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together experienced nurses who can support assessment, planning, coordination, and review of complex packages of care.
Person‑Centred, Outcome‑Focused Case Management
We work with individuals, families, and providers to build holistic care plans that focus on clinical safety, independence, and quality of life, while remaining realistic and sustainable.
Our approach ensures every aspect of care – from daily routines to risk management – is aligned with person‑centred outcomes and regulatory requirements.
Events, Networking & Peer Support for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events to bring our community of agency nurses together for learning, networking, and support.
From small peer sessions to larger CHC‑focused workshops, our events help nurses share challenges, gain new insights, and stay updated on changes in CHC policies and practice.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Support
Members of our network gain access to confidential, invite‑only social media groups where they can raise professional issues, seek advice, and support each other 24‑7‑365.
