CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Trusted Partner in CHC Training, Support & Community

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Specialist Training, Consultancy and Peer Support

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service for nurses working in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK. We specialise in CHC training, case management support, pre-CQC preparation, transitions of care and learning disability care planning, while providing a strong peer network where agency nurses can connect, learn and thrive.

Our mission is to help CHC agency nurses, nurse contractors and healthcare providers deliver safe, person‑centred care, achieve CQC compliance, and navigate the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) processes with confidence.

Specialist Services Offered by CHC Nurses Agency Network

Transitions in Care: Hospital to Home & Between Care Settings

Safe and well‑planned transitions in care are essential for patients with complex health needs. Our experienced nurses provide guidance to support smooth handovers from hospital to home, care homes, supported living and other community settings.

We help organisations and individual nurses design tailored transition plans that prioritise patient safety, dignity and continuity of care, reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding risks.

Pre-CQC Assessments and Quality Improvement Support

Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be challenging, especially in CHC and complex care environments. Our pre-CQC assessment service identifies compliance gaps and areas needing improvement.

We review policies, procedures, care plans, risk assessments, capacity and consent documentation, record keeping and governance systems to help you align with CQC expectations and improve your overall quality of care.

Learning Disabilities Care & Person‑Centred Support Plans

We specialise in learning disability nursing and complex behavioural support planning. Our network works with providers, families and multi‑disciplinary teams to develop personalised care and support plans for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex needs.

Our evidence‑based plans promote independence, communication, safety and quality of life, ensuring that physical health, mental health and social care needs are all fully considered.

CHC & Community DOL Application Process Training

Understanding the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) framework and community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) processes is vital for nurses involved in care planning and funding decisions. We offer specialist training on:

CHC eligibility criteria and the Decision Support Tool (DST)
Checklist completion and best‑practice evidence gathering
Care planning in line with CHC decisions and local policies
Community DOL application processes and legal considerations

Our courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurses and case managers, helping you gain clarity, confidence and legal awareness when managing complex cases.

CHC‑Focused Events, Workshops and Networking

As a CHC agency nurse community, we run regular events, workshops and online sessions that keep our members up to date with changes in CHC guidance, best practice and case law.

Our events offer opportunities to network with peers, share real‑world experiences, discuss challenging cases and learn from expert speakers – all in a supportive and relaxed environment.

Case Management Support & Consultancy

Effective case management is central to safe, person‑centred CHC care. Through the CHC Nurses Agency Network, nurses and providers can access:

Case management advice for complex CHC and community cases
Support with multidisciplinary working, safeguarding and best‑interest decisions
Guidance on documentation, risk management and outcome‑focused care planning

Our approach keeps the person at the centre, balancing clinical needs, legal frameworks and the wishes of the individual and their family.

Peer Community & Professional Support for CHC Agency Nurses

Alongside training and consultancy, the heart of our service is our private network of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals. We provide:

Invite‑only confidential social media groups for discussion and support
24/7 peer advice on clinical issues, CHC queries, workplace challenges and professional dilemmas
Opportunities to build lasting friendships and professional networks

Only another nurse truly understands the pressures of nursing. Our community is a safe space to vent, learn, share and grow together, both personally and professionally.

The Importance of Ongoing Training & Networking in CHC Nursing

Working in NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex community care requires up‑to‑date knowledge of changing guidance, legislation and CQC expectations. Ongoing training is vital for:

Maintaining clinical competence and legal compliance
Improving documentation, assessments and care planning
Boosting nurse confidence, resilience and job satisfaction
Ensuring safe, person‑centred, rights‑based care for vulnerable people

Through structured training, consultancy and a strong peer network, CHC Nurses Agency Network helps agency nurses and providers deliver consistently high standards of care in a demanding and ever‑evolving area of practice.
