CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community Support
Supporting CHC agency nurses, care providers and healthcare organisations with expert training, consultancy and a strong professional network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist resource for NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) professionals, agency nurses and healthcare providers. We combine high-quality CHC training, expert healthcare consultancy, CQC inspection readiness support and case management with a thriving community of more than 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
Our mission is to make professional life easier and more effective for nurses and care providers by improving CHC knowledge, fostering peer support, and helping organisations deliver safe, compliant, person-centred care. Through our invite-only social media groups, regular events and tailored consultancy, we help you navigate the clinical, regulatory and practical challenges of CHC and complex care.
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional impact of our work. The CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you a trusted place to connect, share challenges, learn from each other and build a sustainable, rewarding career in CHC nursing.
Our CHC Training & Healthcare Education Services
Specialist NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training
We deliver specialist CHC training programmes for agency nurses, clinical leads, care coordinators and healthcare managers who are involved in CHC assessments, DSTs, care planning and funding decision-making.
Our CHC courses cover key areas such as the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare, eligibility criteria, evidence gathering, documentation, decision support tools, appeals, and multi-disciplinary team working. Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who understand real-world practice and local commissioning challenges.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner wanting to refresh and deepen your knowledge, our training improves confidence, decision-making and compliance, ensuring patients receive fair, lawful and person-centred assessments.
Pre-CQC Assessment & Inspection Readiness Training
Preparing for a CQC inspection can be stressful, particularly for services delivering complex care and CHC-funded packages. We provide pre-CQC assessment and inspection readiness training to help you understand regulatory expectations and demonstrate good governance and safe practice.
Our consultancy nurses review your policies, procedures, care plans, risk assessments and documentation against CQC key questions and guidance, highlighting gaps and areas for improvement. We then support your leadership team and frontline staff with targeted training so everyone understands what “good” and “outstanding” care looks like in practice.
This proactive approach reduces inspection risk, strengthens your quality assurance processes and builds confidence across your team ahead of CQC visits.
Training in Community DoLS & Support Plans for Learning Disabilities
For services supporting people with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism or complex needs in the community, we offer specialist training in DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards), restrictive practice and person-centred support planning.
We help nurses and care teams to design and implement personalised care and support plans that promote autonomy, dignity and positive risk-taking while staying aligned with the Mental Capacity Act, DoLS requirements and best-practice guidance.
Our evidence-based training ensures support is safe, lawful and person-centred, enhancing quality of life and reducing the risk of regulatory or legal issues for providers.
Expert Healthcare Consultancy & CHC Event Participation
Specialist Consultancy for CHC, Complex Care & Compliance
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides healthcare organisations with expert consultancy on CHC processes, complex care planning, commissioning, case management and regulatory compliance. Our experienced nurse consultants work with providers, case managers, solicitors and commissioners to unravel complex cases and embed robust clinical governance.
We support you with policy development, pathway design, audit, quality improvement and staff training, always focusing on safe, person-centred and legally robust practice. Whether you’re managing a challenging CHC eligibility dispute, setting up a new service or strengthening your clinical oversight, our consultancy helps you achieve sustainable, defensible outcomes.
CHC Events, Workshops & Networking Opportunities
Community is at the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network. We run regular events, workshops and webinars that keep nurses and healthcare professionals up to date with CHC policy changes, funding guidance, clinical developments and case law.
These events provide valuable opportunities to network with fellow CHC agency nurses, clinical leaders and care providers, share experiences and gain practical tips you can apply immediately in practice. Many members build long-term professional relationships and friendships that continue for years.
In addition to our live events, we host private, invite-only social media groups where more than 500 CHC agency nursing professionals share professional issues, clinical scenarios and career advice 24/7/365 in a confidential, supportive environment.
Case Management & Person-Centred Care Coordination
Integrated Case Management for CHC-Funded and Complex Care
Our network supports case management services that place patients and families at the centre of care. Working closely with multidisciplinary teams, commissioners and providers, we help to develop and coordinate individualised care plans for people with complex, long-term health needs.
The focus is on seamless care coordination, clear communication, risk management and outcome-focused planning, ensuring every individual receives the right level of support at the right time. We understand the realities of home care, agency staffing, community resources and family involvement, and we bring this insight into every case.
By optimising resources, improving clinical oversight and supporting robust documentation, our case management approach enhances both quality of life for patients and assurance for commissioners and providers.
A Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Connect, Share and Grow
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than just a training and consultancy provider; it is a professional community where CHC agency nurses can connect with colleagues who truly understand their role.
We welcome new members into our private social media groups and at our events, where you can discuss clinical questions, share professional issues, offload day-to-day stresses and access peer support at any time of day or night. Many members form strong friendships and mentoring relationships that continue throughout their careers.
