CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Who We Are: A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist organisation focused on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), case management and complex care support.
We bring together experienced CHC agency nurses, independent nurse assessors and healthcare professionals, providing training, consultancy and a strong peer network.
Our mission is to raise standards of CHC practice across all care settings by supporting nurses, case managers and providers with expert guidance, practical training and a collaborative community that understands the real pressures of frontline care.
A Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Support, Connection and Career Development
Working as an agency nurse in CHC can feel isolating, but our network changes that.
We offer a safe, private space where CHC nurses can connect, share experiences and support each other 24/7.
Only another nurse truly understands the daily pressures, emotional demands and complex decisions involved in CHC assessments, case management and community care.
Through our confidential invite-only social media groups, we openly discuss professional issues, share resources and offer peer advice around the clock, 365 days a year.
Many members build friendships that last for years, creating a strong support system alongside professional growth.
Regular Events and Networking Opportunities
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC Agency Nurses Network community together.
These include informal meetups, peer-learning sessions, Q&A discussions on CHC policy changes, and specialist workshops focused on real-world practice.
Most nurses within our network stay in touch across multiple platforms, helping each other with clinical queries, documentation challenges, and professional decisions.
Our events provide vital networking opportunities with fellow CHC professionals, independent nurse assessors, case managers and care providers.
We actively welcome new members into the CHC Nurses Agency Network and invite them to join our private social media groups, events and learning sessions.
Specialist CHC Training for Healthcare Professionals
Enhancing Expertise in NHS Continuing Healthcare Processes
CHC Eligibility, Checklist, DST and Community DoLS Training
CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers specialist training designed to deepen understanding of NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, the Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST), care planning and funding processes.
Our programmes are tailored for agency nurses, care home staff, community teams and healthcare organisations that need to strengthen their CHC knowledge and compliance.
Courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurses and nurse assessors who work actively in the field.
We focus on practical, scenario-based learning so participants can apply guidance accurately, complete robust clinical rationales, and confidently navigate complex CHC and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications.
Our CHC training improves team competence, reduces assessment errors, supports lawful, evidence-based decision-making and ensures alignment with current national frameworks and NHS policy.
Interactive Workshops, Webinars and Masterclasses
We organise and participate in CHC-focused workshops, webinars and seminars that explore current policies, frameworks and best practice.
These interactive events offer live Q&A, case discussions and the opportunity to learn from experienced CHC clinicians and peers across the UK.
By attending our events, healthcare professionals stay up to date with policy changes, appeal processes, decision-making panels and evolving guidance around CHC, FNC (Funded Nursing Care) and complex discharge planning.
Digital Tools and Practical Skills Development
Our training also covers the digital and practical skills required for accurate CHC documentation and efficient workload management.
We support nurses and teams in using electronic clinical records, secure communication platforms and digital tools that streamline assessments, evidence gathering and reporting.
By improving digital confidence and documentation skills, we help reduce administrative burden, improve the quality of clinical rationales and support transparent, defensible CHC decision-making.
Expert Consultancy for CHC Providers and Care Organisations
Pre-CQC Support and Quality Assurance
Pre-CQC Assessments and Compliance Gap Analysis
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants carry out comprehensive pre-CQC assessments to prepare care providers and complex care services for Care Quality Commission inspections.
We review policies, procedures, care plans, CHC documentation, risk assessments and governance systems to identify any compliance gaps.
Following our evaluation, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen quality, safety and regulatory compliance.
Partnering with CHC Nurses Agency Network supports providers to demonstrate robust governance, person-centred care and strong CHC-related practice during inspection.
Streamlining Policies, Procedures and Documentation
We work with organisations to refine policies, standard operating procedures and care documentation so they are clear, evidence-based and aligned with national standards.
Our consultancy helps teams embed a culture of quality, accountability and continuous improvement, reducing the risk of non-compliance or poor inspection outcomes.
Transitions of Care and Person-Centred Planning
Safe Care Transitions and Hospital Discharge Support
Transitions such as hospital discharge, step-down care or movement between providers are high-risk periods that require meticulous planning.
Our CHC nurses support organisations, patients and families to manage these transitions safely, ensuring the right CHC processes are followed and funding considerations are not overlooked.
We help coordinate MDT (multidisciplinary team) communication, clarify roles and responsibilities, and ensure care plans reflect up-to-date needs so that transitions are as smooth, person-centred and risk-aware as possible.
Learning Disability and Complex Needs Support Plans
For individuals with Learning Disabilities, autism or other complex needs, we work with families and care teams to develop detailed, person-centred support plans.
Our approach promotes independence, dignity, communication preferences and positive risk management, underpinned by CHC and Mental Capacity Act principles.
These personalised plans help services deliver consistent, respectful and meaningful care that truly reflects the person’s wishes, needs and long-term goals.
Case Management and Complex Care Coordination
Specialist Case Management Services
Holistic, Person-Centred Care Coordination
Our case managers and CHC nurses work directly with individuals, families and providers to coordinate complex care packages, including those funded by CHC, local authorities or joint funding arrangements.
We take a holistic, person-centred approach that addresses clinical needs, emotional wellbeing, social factors and family priorities.
By acting as a consistent point of contact, we reduce fragmentation of care, improve communication between services and help ensure that every aspect of a person’s care plan is aligned and regularly reviewed.
Resource Optimisation and Regulatory Alignment
We support commissioners, providers and families to make best use of available resources, ensuring that care packages are safe, sustainable and compliant with statutory requirements.
Our strategic case management approach promotes high-quality care within realistic funding arrangements, while maintaining a strong focus on human rights and person-centred outcomes.
