CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Continuing Healthcare Training, Consultancy & Community
Supporting Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers in Delivering Outstanding Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
In today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment, Continuing Healthcare (CHC) professionals need expert guidance, peer support, and ongoing education to stay compliant and deliver safe, person-centred care. CHC Nurses Agency Network brings together an experienced team of CHC nurses and a strong professional community to provide specialist CHC training, consultancy, and peer support for nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
From CHC assessments and funding applications to care planning, pre-CQC preparation, case management and professional networking, our network is designed to make life easier for agency nurses while helping providers improve care quality, compliance, and outcomes.
Who We Are – About CHC Nurses Agency Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-wide community and consultancy led by experienced Continuing Healthcare nurses and clinical specialists. We combine:
- Practical CHC training and consultancy services for organisations and nurse teams
- A supportive peer network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals
- Regular events, workshops and private social media groups to share knowledge and support each other
We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the demands, pressures, and responsibilities of clinical practice. Our mission is to elevate CHC standards, support nurses in their professional development, and improve outcomes for people with complex health needs.
What We Do – Core Services and Support
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Providers
We deliver specialist Continuing Healthcare training tailored to agency nurses, care staff, nurse managers and organisations involved in CHC and complex care.
Our CHC training focuses on:
- National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare and NHS-funded Nursing Care
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and Decision Support Tools (DSTs)
- Completing CHC checklists, applications, and assessments accurately
- Person-centred care planning and risk management for complex cases
- Legal and regulatory aspects related to CHC and Community DoLS
Courses are suitable for beginners through to advanced practitioners, and can be delivered online, in-person, or as bespoke sessions for organisations.
Transitions in Healthcare and Complex Care Pathways
Transitions between care settings, particularly for people eligible for CHC, are often high-risk and stressful for patients, families and staff.
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports organisations and nurses to:
- Plan and manage safe transitions from hospital to community or care homes
- Develop clear, person-centred transition and discharge plans
- Coordinate with multidisciplinary teams and community services
- Reduce avoidable readmissions and clinical risk
Our team helps you implement processes that maintain continuity of care, dignity, and safety during every stage of the care journey.
Pre-CQC Assessments and Compliance Support
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections is essential for any healthcare organisation providing CHC or complex care services.
We offer detailed pre-CQC assessments that review:
- Clinical governance, documentation and record-keeping
- Policies, procedures and CHC-related compliance
- Care planning, risk assessments and person-centred practice
- Staff training, supervision and competency in CHC
Following our review, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to help you meet and exceed CQC standards, improve inspection outcomes, and enhance patient safety.
Personalised Care and Support Plans for Learning Disabilities
Many individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) have complex healthcare needs and may be eligible for CHC funding.
Our experienced CHC nurses support organisations and families to:
- Create person-centred care and support plans for people with LD
- Promote independence, choice, dignity and safety
- Integrate physical, mental health and behavioural support needs
- Align care plans with CHC eligibility and funding requirements
This ensures individuals with LD receive tailored, safe and meaningful support that reflects their preferences and long-term goals.
CHC and Community DoLS Application Process Training
Navigating the CHC and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) process can be complex and time-consuming for frontline staff.
Our specialist training covers:
- The full CHC assessment and funding application process
- Completing checklists, DSTs and supporting documentation
- Understanding and applying Community DoLS requirements
- Legal duties, best interests decisions and safeguarding considerations
This training equips nurses and healthcare teams with the knowledge and confidence they need to manage CHC and Community DoLS processes correctly and efficiently.
CHC Events, Workshops and Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is an active professional community.
We regularly host and participate in CHC-focused events, including:
- Workshops and seminars on CHC, DoLS, complex care and governance
- Online webinars and Q&A sessions with expert CHC nurses
- Networking events for agency nurses and healthcare providers
These events help nurses stay up to date with policy changes, share best practice, and build strong professional relationships that often turn into long-term friendships.
Case Management and Complex Care Coordination
Effective case management is essential in delivering seamless CHC and complex care in community, home, and care home settings.
Our case management services include:
- Comprehensive clinical assessments and baseline reviews
- Development of individualised care plans and risk assessments
- Coordination of multidisciplinary input and services
- Ongoing review of outcomes, safety and funding requirements
By coordinating care across teams, we support efficient use of resources, legal and regulatory compliance, and consistently high-quality, person-centred support.
