CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Support for Continuing Healthcare Professionals

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare providers across the UK. We combine expert CHC training, professional consultancy, case management support and a thriving peer network to help agency nurses deliver safe, effective and fully compliant patient care.

Our mission is to empower CHC professionals with the skills, knowledge and community they need to navigate complex care, funding processes and regulatory requirements with confidence. Whether you are an independent agency nurse, a care provider or a commissioning organisation, we offer tailored support designed around the realities of frontline nursing practice.

About CHC Nurses Agency Network

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a professional hub for CHC agency nurses. We understand that only another nurse truly appreciates the pressure, responsibility and emotional load that comes with delivering high-quality care in fast-changing environments.

We provide a safe, supportive space where CHC nurses can connect, share knowledge and develop their careers, supported by training and consultancy services that focus on Continuing Healthcare, CQC readiness, Learning Disability support planning, Community DoLS and more.

Our private, invite-only social media groups and regular events bring together a core network of around 500 experienced CHC agency nurses who collaborate, share best practice and support one another 24/7, 365 days a year.

Core Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Providers

1. Support with Transitions in Healthcare

Seamless Patient Transfers Between Care Settings

Transitions between hospital, community, care homes and home-based care can be complex, particularly for people with significant CHC needs. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers to manage patient transfers safely and effectively, reducing disruption and ensuring continuity of care.

Our transition support focuses on robust communication, clear care plans and risk-aware coordination between all involved professionals. This helps minimise avoidable readmissions, enhances patient and family confidence and promotes better long-term outcomes.

Benefits of Our Transition Support

  • Improved continuity and coordination of care during moves between services.
  • Reduced clinical risk and safer discharge and admission processes.
  • Enhanced patient and family experience during stressful transitions.
  • Better communication between multidisciplinary teams and agencies.

2. Pre-CQC Assessments & Compliance Support

Preparing for CQC Inspections with Confidence

Meeting and maintaining CQC standards is essential for all healthcare providers and agencies working within CHC. Our network offers pre-CQC assessments to help organisations review their policies, procedures and frontline practice before inspection.

Experienced CHC nurses and consultants carry out structured reviews of your governance, documentation, care delivery, safeguarding, consent, DoLS processes and incident management. We then provide clear, practical recommendations to support improvement.

Why Work with Us on CQC Readiness?

  • Identify gaps in compliance before CQC visits.
  • Receive actionable improvement plans based on real-world nursing experience.
  • Strengthen evidence for safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services.
  • Reduce the risk of negative inspection outcomes and enforcement action.

3. Learning Disability (LD) Care & Support Plan Development

Person-Centred Plans for People with Learning Disabilities

The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports nurses and providers in developing holistic, person-centred care and support plans for people with Learning Disabilities (LD) who receive, or may be eligible for, Continuing Healthcare.

We work collaboratively with families, carers and multidisciplinary teams to create plans that promote choice, independence, safety and dignity. Each support plan is tailored to the person’s communication needs, health profile, behavioural support needs and daily living preferences.

Improving Quality of Life and Outcomes

  • Evidence-based planning to reduce avoidable hospital admissions and crises.
  • Support for positive behaviour support and least-restrictive practice.
  • Stronger documentation to support funding, reviews and legal compliance.
  • Enhanced opportunities for choice, inclusion and meaningful activity.

Specialist CHC & Community DoLS Training

4. CHC and Community DoLS Application Process Training

Building Confidence in CHC and DoLS Processes

We provide structured training programmes for CHC agency nurses and healthcare providers on the full Continuing Healthcare and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) process.

Training covers eligibility criteria, DSTs, CHC assessments, evidence gathering, documentation standards, best interests, capacity, and Community DoLS applications. Sessions are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who understand the practical realities of frontline assessment and care coordination.

Key Benefits of Our CHC & DoLS Training

  • Increased confidence in completing CHC assessments and documentation.
  • Fewer delays, errors and disputes in funding and application processes.
  • Improved legal and regulatory compliance around consent, capacity and liberty.
