Empowering CHC Agency Nurses: Your Premier CHC Nursing Consultancy & Support Network

Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Nurses & Providers

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for nurses and healthcare organisations working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and adult social care across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and case management support with a thriving professional network of over 500 CHC agency nurses.

Our mission is to elevate CHC practice, improve patient outcomes and support nurses to work safely, confidently and compliantly in complex Continuing Healthcare environments. Through tailored guidance, peer support and evidence-based training, we help you navigate CHC eligibility, assessments, CQC compliance and person-centred care planning with ease.

What We Do: CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training & Professional Network

1. Transitions in Healthcare & CHC Case Coordination

Safe, Seamless Patient Transitions in CHC

Transitions between hospital, community, placement and home settings are high-risk moments for patients receiving or being assessed for NHS Continuing Healthcare. Our specialist CHC nurses support providers and case managers to ensure these transitions are planned, well-communicated and person-centred.

We assess individual clinical needs, develop bespoke CHC care plans and coordinate with multidisciplinary and multi-agency teams to maintain continuity of care, reduce avoidable readmissions and uphold CHC Framework requirements.

Benefits of Effective CHC Transitions

Well-managed CHC transitions help to:

  • Reduce hospital readmissions and delayed discharges
  • Improve recovery times and stability in community settings
  • Increase patient and family confidence in the care team
  • Maintain safety, dignity and legal compliance across settings

2. Pre-CQC Preparation for CHC & Adult Social Care Services

Preparing CHC Services for CQC Inspection

CQC inspections can be especially challenging for services delivering complex CHC packages, community DOLs and high-acuity care. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC consultancy provided by nurses who understand both clinical practice and regulatory requirements.

We review your policies, documentation, risk assessments, CHC evidence, care plans and staff training to ensure they meet current CQC Key Questions, Fundamental Standards and CHC-related best practice.

Actionable CQC Feedback & Improvement Plans

Following our review, you receive a clear, prioritised action plan highlighting strengths, risks and improvement opportunities. We work alongside your leaders and clinical teams to implement realistic, measurable changes that support Good and Outstanding ratings while keeping patients safe.

3. Personalised Support for Learning Disabilities within CHC

CHC-Focused, Person-Centred Care Planning

Many individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) have complex health needs that may qualify them for NHS Continuing Healthcare. Our specialist nurses develop person-centred LD support plans aligned with the Mental Capacity Act, Positive Behaviour Support and CHC Framework.

By actively involving families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams, we ensure care plans reflect each person’s abilities, preferences, risks and long-term aspirations, not just their diagnosis.

Improving Quality of Life for People with LD

Through evidence-based interventions, robust risk management and enabling approaches, we help individuals with LD to live safe, meaningful, autonomous lives, whether supported at home, in residential settings or within specialist placements funded by CHC.

Specialist CHC Training, Events & Professional Development

4. CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training

Boosting Staff Competence in CHC Eligibility & Funding

We deliver targeted training for nurses, care providers and case managers covering:

  • CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework
  • Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST) and MDT processes
  • Care planning, evidence gathering and clinical rationale
  • Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) / LPS application pathways
  • Roles and responsibilities of providers within CHC-funded packages

Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who work in the field daily, ensuring content is practical, current and aligned with NHS guidance.

Flexible, Tailored Learning for CHC Teams

We offer in-house sessions, virtual workshops and small-group training tailored to your organisation’s level of CHC experience, whether you are new to CHC or seeking advanced updates and refreshers.

5. CHC Network Events, Peer Support & Community

A Supportive Community for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a supportive professional community of agency nurses who understand the pressures of Continuing Healthcare, complex caseloads and shift work.

We run regular in-person and online CHC-focused events, seminars, networking meetups and informal gatherings, giving members a safe space to share experiences, ask questions and debrief with colleagues who truly “get it”.

24/7 Professional Connection Through Private Groups

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected via confidential, invite-only social media groups, where members can:

  • Discuss CHC clinical and documentation challenges
  • Seek peer advice on CQC, safeguarding and case management
  • Share best practice resources and policy updates
  • Build long-term friendships and support networks

Many nurses in our network become friends and remain close colleagues for years, helping each other to develop careers, manage stress and maintain professional resilience.

  • Stay compliant with rapidly evolving CHC policy and best practice
