What We Do at CHC Nurses Agency Network

Professional Community & Peer Support for CHC Agency Nurses

At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive professional community where CHC agency nurses can relax, connect and share real-world experience with colleagues who truly understand the pressures of the role.

Only another nurse fully appreciates the daily stress, clinical responsibility and emotional load of nursing; our network offers a confidential, non-judgemental environment for advice, reflection and mutual support.

We welcome new members into our private social media groups, where nurses discuss CHC cases, best practice, regulatory issues and career development, often building friendships that last for years.

Specialist CHC Training & Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

We provide targeted CHC training programmes to help agency nurses and healthcare teams build confidence and competence in complex areas of NHS Continuing Healthcare and community practice.

Our courses and workshops cover:

  • CHC eligibility criteria and National Framework guidance
  • Completion and interpretation of the Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST)
  • Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) and legal frameworks
  • Clinical assessment, risk management and documentation for CHC cases
  • Person-centred, evidence-based care planning in community settings
  • Working effectively with ICBs, CCGs, local authorities and providers

Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and educators, and can be tailored to the needs of nursing agencies, care homes, community teams and individual practitioners.

Consultancy for CHC, Quality and Regulatory Compliance

We support organisations and agencies with specialist CHC consultancy focused on quality improvement, compliance and safe care delivery in community and complex care settings.

Our consultancy services include:

  • Review and optimisation of CHC processes, pathways and documentation
  • Support with CQC preparedness, governance and quality standards
  • Policy and procedure development for CHC and complex community care
  • Audit, gap analysis and action planning to improve compliance and outcomes
  • Coaching and mentoring for clinical leads and CHC case coordinators

We provide clear, actionable recommendations that help organisations maintain safe, person-centred, legally robust practice in line with national guidance and regulatory expectations.

Supporting Safe Transitions and Community-Based Care

Seamless Transitions from Hospital to Home

Transitions between care settings are high-risk periods, especially for individuals funded through Continuing Healthcare. We support nurses, agencies and providers to plan and deliver safe, well-coordinated discharges from hospital to home or community placements.

Our network offers expertise in:

  • Developing comprehensive discharge and transition plans
  • Ensuring continuity of care, medication management and risk oversight
  • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, families and external providers
  • Reducing avoidable readmissions and breakdowns in care packages

Care Setting Changes & Ongoing Continuity of Care

When an individual moves between hospital, community, residential or nursing care, our community and consultants share best practice on maintaining safety, dignity and consistent care delivery.

We help teams anticipate clinical, social and environmental needs, ensuring that care plans, risk assessments and CHC documentation transfer smoothly between services.

Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs

Person-Centred Support Planning

Many CHC agency nurses in our network work with people who have Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex physical/mental health needs. We promote high standards of person-centred support planning across all services.

Our focus includes:

  • Creating support plans that reflect the person’s goals, preferences and communication style
  • Balancing independence, choice and safety in community settings
  • Integrating clinical, behavioural and social care needs into one coherent plan
  • Working collaboratively with families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams

Improving Quality of Life and Outcomes

We champion practice that enables individuals with learning disabilities and complex needs to live fulfilling, meaningful lives while remaining safe and well-supported.

Our network shares practical strategies to support social inclusion, mental wellbeing, positive risk-taking and autonomy within the framework of CHC funding and legal responsibilities.

Expertise in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)

CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training

Empowering Healthcare Professionals in CHC

Our CHC and Community DoLS training is designed to demystify the end-to-end process, from initial screening through to panel decisions, reviews and appeals.

By improving understanding of eligibility, legal frameworks, documentation standards and best practice, we help nurses and care teams deliver safer, more consistent and legally defensible care.

CHC-Focused Events, Webinars and Networking Sessions

Stay Current, Connected and Compliant

CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, webinars, workshops and networking sessions that bring our community of nurses and healthcare professionals together.

These events cover:

  • Changes to the NHS Continuing Healthcare National Framework
  • Case law, DoLS, Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) and legal updates
  • Real case discussions and lessons learned from complex situations
  • Career development, wellbeing and resilience for agency nurses

Our events are highly practical and interactive, providing opportunities to ask questions, build your network and stay ahead of regulatory change.

Case Management and Care Coordination in CHC

Person-Centred Case Management Support

Through our expert network, we support person-centred case management for individuals with CHC funding and complex packages of care in the community.

This includes:

  • Developing holistic, individualised care plans aligned with assessed needs
  • Coordinating care across multiple providers and disciplines
  • Ensuring documentation meets legal, regulatory and commissioning standards
  • Monitoring outcomes and adjusting care in response to change

Enhancing Outcomes and Protecting Quality of Care
