A Professional Network Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses

Person-Centred Care, Transitions & Learning Disability Support
Safe, Well-Coordinated Transitions in Care
Seamless Patient Transfers Across Care Settings
Transitions such as hospital to home, care home to community, or movement between providers are high-risk moments that require skilled planning to protect safety, dignity and continuity.
We guide teams and individual nurses on how to:

Learning Disability (LD) Care & Specialist Support Plans
Person-Centred Support for People with Learning Disabilities
We help CHC nurses and providers to develop person-centred care and support plans for individuals with learning disabilities and autism, often with additional physical or mental health needs.
Our approach focuses on:
- Co-producing care plans with the individual, family and MDT
- Promoting independence, communication and choice
- Embedding Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) principles where needed
- Addressing health inequalities and accessible information needs
Improving Quality of Life in CHC & Complex LD Care
By focusing on strengths, personal goals and community inclusion, we support nurses to create enabling environments where people with learning disabilities can lead safe, meaningful and fulfilling lives.

We provide guidance on capacity, consent, safeguarding and DoLS to help CHC nurses deliver care that is both legally robust and ethically sound, reducing organisational and personal risk.
Resource Optimisation & Continuity of Care
Through better care coordination, multidisciplinary working and clear care pathways, we help organisations minimise gaps in care, reduce unplanned admissions and ensure stable long-term arrangements for CHC-funded individuals.
