CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Nurses
A Professional Network Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service created by nurses, for nurses, to support professionals working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care settings across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, healthcare consultancy, and a thriving professional support network to help agency nurses build confidence, stay compliant, and deliver outstanding person-centred care.
From CHC assessments and Community DoLS processes to pre-CQC preparation and learning disability support, we are committed to helping nurses and organisations navigate complex healthcare systems with clarity and assurance.
Comprehensive CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Teams
Our training programmes are designed specifically for agency nurses, CHC nurses, care coordinators, and healthcare managers who work within Continuing Healthcare and community-based services.
We focus on practical skills, current regulations, and real-world scenarios so that your team can apply learning immediately in practice and meet the latest NHS and CQC expectations.
CHC Assessments, Eligibility and Community DoLS Training
Our specialist CHC and Community DoLS training helps nurses and organisations understand the full CHC eligibility assessment process, including the National Framework, Decision Support Tool (DST), care planning and funding pathways.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC practitioners and is focused on building confidence in handling complex cases, lawful deprivation of liberty, best interest decisions, and ensuring safe, compliant practice in community settings.
Training for Transitions, Discharge Planning and Person-Centred Care
We understand how challenging transitions of care can be for patients, families and professionals, especially when CHC funding and multiple agencies are involved.
Our workshops support nurses in delivering safe, person-centred transitions from hospital to home, care homes and other community placements, with a strong focus on continuity of care, communication and risk management.
Expert Healthcare Consultancy to Enhance CHC and Community Services
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also provides healthcare consultancy services for providers, agencies and organisations delivering CHC and complex care packages.
We work with you to review quality, strengthen governance, prepare for inspections, and ensure your services align with the latest standards and best practice guidance.
Pre-CQC Assessments and Quality Improvement Support
Our team offers pre-CQC assessments to help services understand their current position against CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and CHC-related quality requirements.
We review policies, documentation, care records, risk assessments and operational systems, then provide clear, practical recommendations to improve compliance, patient safety and service effectiveness.
Care and Support Planning for People with Learning Disabilities
We support organisations and nurses in developing robust, person-centred care and support plans for individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex needs.
Using evidence-based practice and a human-rights focused approach, we help create individualised plans that promote choice, independence, dignity and inclusion in line with current guidelines.
Case Management, Coordination and Person-Centred Practice
Our network also offers guidance on case management and complex care coordination, supporting nurses and services to manage high-need caseloads effectively.
We encourage collaborative working with families, multidisciplinary teams and commissioning bodies to deliver truly holistic, person-centred care.
Person-Centred, Seamless and Holistic Care
Our approach ensures that medical, emotional, psychological and social needs are all considered and coordinated within each care package.
By improving communication, documentation and resource use, we aim to support better outcomes, experience and quality of life for people receiving CHC and community-based care.
A Supportive Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Beyond training and consultancy, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a vibrant and supportive professional community where agency nurses can connect, share, learn and unwind.
We understand that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, demands and emotional impact of nursing, particularly in CHC and complex care roles.
Our private network offers a safe space to discuss professional issues, seek peer advice, share opportunities and build friendships that often last for many years.
Regular Events, Networking and Peer Support
We run regular events, workshops and meet-ups to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together, both online and in person.
Most members stay in touch daily through our confidential, invite-only social media groups, where around 500 CHC nursing professionals share knowledge, support and opportunities 24-7-365.
Private Social Media Groups and Safe Discussion Spaces
New members are welcomed into our private social media communities, designed to be relaxed, professional and confidential.
Here you can raise clinical questions, discuss CHC practice, talk about agency work, share challenges and celebrate successes with peers who genuinely understand your role.
