Continuing Healthcare Expertise for Nurses, CCGs/ICBs and Healthcare Providers

In an increasingly complex NHS and social care environment, delivering safe, compliant and person-centred Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is more important than ever. CHC Nurses Agency Network connects experienced CHC nurses with healthcare organisations across the UK and provides specialist training, consultancy and peer support for CHC professionals.

We bring together a trusted community of over 500 CHC agency nurses, delivering expert support with CHC assessments, care planning, transitions of care, CQC readiness and Learning Disability (LD) support planning. Whether you are an NHS team, independent provider or an individual nurse, CHC Nurses Agency Network helps you deliver safe, high-quality, compliant CHC services.

What Is CHC Nurses Agency Network?

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist professional network and consultancy service dedicated to the field of NHS Continuing Healthcare. We support:

  • Agency and bank CHC nurses seeking networking, learning and career development.
  • ICBs, CCGs and local authorities that require experienced CHC nurses and independent CHC expertise.
  • Care providers and case managers who need guidance on CHC, complex care pathways and regulatory compliance.

Our secure, invite-only community supports members 24/7/365 via confidential social media groups, regular events and peer-to-peer learning, while our consultancy arm works directly with organisations to improve CHC practice and patient outcomes.

Core Services from CHC Nurses Agency Network

1. CHC Specialist Nurses & Independent CHC Support

We connect organisations with highly skilled CHC nurses who understand the end-to-end CHC pathway, from checklist to DST and ongoing review.

Our network includes nurses experienced in ICB/CCG CHC teams, fast-track CHC, complex case management and discharge to assess models, helping you manage caseloads safely, efficiently and in line with the National Framework.

2. Transitions of Care & Discharge Planning

Safe and timely transitions in healthcare are crucial for patients moving between hospital, community, care homes and home-based care.

Our CHC nurses support discharge planning, CHC decision-making at the point of discharge and the coordination of complex care packages to minimise delays, reduce readmissions and protect patient safety.

3. Pre-CQC Assessments & Quality Compliance for CHC Services

Preparing for a CQC inspection can be challenging, particularly when CHC-funded packages and complex community care are involved.

We provide pre-CQC assessments focused on CHC and complex care, reviewing documentation, care plans, risk management, staffing and governance, then offering practical, evidence-based recommendations to strengthen compliance and quality of care.

4. Training in CHC, DST, Checklist & Community DoLS Processes

Understanding the legal and procedural framework for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) is essential for nurses and care providers.

We design and deliver bespoke CHC training covering:

  • CHC Checklist and DST (Decision Support Tool) completion.
  • Eligibility criteria and primary health need.
  • Care planning, reviews and appeals.
  • Community DoLS and LPS (Liberty Protection Safeguards) awareness and application.

All sessions are led by experienced CHC practitioners and can be delivered online or in person for teams across the UK.

5. Person-Centred Support Plans for People with Learning Disabilities

Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) and complex needs often require carefully structured, person-centred support plans, particularly where CHC funding or shared-funding arrangements are in place.

Our nurses work with families, providers and multidisciplinary teams to develop individualised care and support plans that promote independence, safeguard rights, manage risk and improve quality of life.

6. Expert CHC Case Management & Complex Care Coordination

For patients with CHC funding and highly complex needs, our network offers specialist case management and care coordination.

We support goal-focused care planning, MDT liaison, provider oversight and ongoing review, ensuring care packages remain safe, appropriate and aligned with the National Framework and local policies.
