Alongside our network, we provide structured consultancy, training and case management support for individual nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
Relax, Connect and Grow in a Dedicated CHC Nursing Community
A Safe Space Just for CHC Agency Nurses
Only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional toll of working in CHC and complex care.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers a safe, relaxed space where nurses can talk openly about clinical challenges, career concerns and day-to-day stress with colleagues who genuinely understand.
Our members regularly report that our network helps them feel less isolated, more confident in their practice and better supported in their professional lives.
Building Long-Term Professional and Personal Connections
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together, including peer-support sessions, informal meet-ups, CPD events and specialist workshops.
Many nurses in our network stay in touch daily through our private groups, building trusted professional relationships that often develop into long-lasting friendships.
We actively welcome new members into our CHC Nurses Agency Network and help them integrate quickly into our existing community of experienced CHC professionals.
Comprehensive CHC Nursing Consultancy for UK Providers
Supporting Complex Care Transitions
Transitions between hospital, home, care homes and community settings are critical moments that can significantly affect patient outcomes, safety and satisfaction.
Our expert CHC nurses guide providers, multidisciplinary teams and families through key care transitions, ensuring that CHC funding, risk management and person-centred care are carefully coordinated.
By developing tailored transition plans, we help organisations deliver safer, smoother and less disruptive moves for adults with complex, continuing healthcare needs.
Pre-CQC Assessment and Compliance Support
Healthcare organisations preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections must demonstrate robust governance, safe care and effective CHC processes.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers detailed pre-CQC assessment support, reviewing policies, care records, CHC documentation, risk assessments and quality assurance systems.
We provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen compliance, evidence good practice and support better CQC inspection outcomes for your service.
Specialist Training in NHS Continuing Healthcare and Community DoLS
CHC Eligibility, Assessment and Funding Training
Our tailored training programmes are designed for nurses, case managers and care providers who need practical, up-to-date knowledge of NHS Continuing Healthcare.
Courses cover CHC eligibility criteria, Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, appeals, care planning, joint funding and documentation that stands up to scrutiny.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who use real-world examples to build confidence and competence across your team.
Community DoLS and Legal Compliance Training
We also provide specialist training on Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and related legal frameworks, focusing on best interest decision-making and human rights.
Participants learn how to apply Community DoLS in practice, recognise unlawful restrictions and document decisions in line with regulatory expectations.
This practical training helps organisations reduce legal risk, protect vulnerable adults and deliver care that is safe, lawful and person-centred.
Events, Forums and Ongoing Professional Development
Regular CHC Events and Peer-Led Learning
The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and participates in a wide range of events focused on Continuing Healthcare, community nursing and complex care.
Workshops, webinars, forums and networking sessions keep professionals up to date with CHC policy changes, case law developments and commissioning trends.
Our events encourage open discussion, knowledge-sharing and peer learning, building confidence and improving standards of CHC practice across the sector.
24-7-365 Peer Support Through Private Groups
Our confidential, invite-only social media groups allow CHC nurses to share professional issues, ask questions and seek peer advice at any time of day or night.
Whether you need a second opinion on a complex CHC case, support with documentation, or simply someone who understands your shift, our network is there for you.
This always-on peer support is a key part of how we help CHC nurses reduce burnout, improve decision-making and feel more supported in their roles.
