Core Services Offered by CHC Nurses Agency Network
Specialist CHC Training Programmes
We deliver comprehensive Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training designed specifically for nurses, case managers and health & social care professionals.
Our courses cover CHC eligibility, assessments, decision-making support tools (DSTs), appeals, funding and ongoing care planning.
Training is delivered in accessible formats, with real cases, templates and practical tips that you can apply immediately in your role.
We ensure you understand both the clinical and legal frameworks that underpin CHC, so you can advocate confidently for your patients.
Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Discharge Support
Transitions between hospital, community, care homes and home-based care can be complex and risky if not managed correctly.
We support nurses and organisations to plan and deliver safe, person-centred transitions of care, with a clear focus on continuity, communication and risk management.
Our guidance helps reduce hospital readmissions, unnecessary delays and safeguarding concerns, while keeping patients and families fully informed and involved.
Pre-CQC Preparation & Quality Consultancy
Preparing for a CQC inspection is crucial for any health or social care provider.
We offer pre-CQC reviews, mock inspections and tailored action plans to help organisations identify gaps, strengthen documentation and embed evidence-based practice.
Our nurse consultants review policies, care plans, incident reporting, staff training and governance so you can demonstrate safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services.
Person-Centred Care Plans for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
We specialise in developing person-centred care and support plans for individuals with Learning Disabilities, autism and complex health needs.
Our approach promotes independence, dignity, choice and safety while aligning with legal frameworks and best practice guidance.
We work closely with nurses, multidisciplinary teams, families and providers to create holistic, outcome-focused plans that reflect the person’s voice and aspirations.
CHC & Community DoLS (DOL) Application Training
Our targeted training sessions support nurses and care professionals to navigate CHC assessments and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS/DOL) applications.
We break down the legal requirements, documentation standards and best practice for safeguarding individuals who lack capacity.
By the end of our courses, participants feel more confident in completing applications, evidencing needs, working with local authorities and maintaining compliance.
CHC-Focused Events, Webinars & Workshops
CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts regular events, webinars and workshops that keep nurses updated on policy changes, case law, national guidance and best practice in CHC and community nursing.
These sessions combine expert input with peer discussion, Q&A and networking opportunities.
Topics include complex case management, safeguarding, capacity and consent, documentation, risk assessment, CQC expectations and more.
Expert Case Management & Consultancy
We provide specialist case management and consultancy for complex community and CHC cases, supporting providers, case managers and families.
Our nurse consultants can review care packages, risk assessments, clinical documentation and MDT recommendations to ensure robust, person-centred and legally compliant care.
We help bridge gaps between agencies, improve communication and create clear, coordinated plans that meet both clinical and regulatory expectations.
