CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Training, Support & Community

Expert CHC Nursing Support, Training and Consultancy Across the UK

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nursing consultancy and professional network, dedicated to improving the quality of care delivered by nurses, agency nurses and healthcare providers across the UK.

We combine expert CHC consultancy, specialist training and a vibrant professional network of over 500 CHC agency nurses to help organisations raise standards, stay compliant and deliver person-centred care.

Whether you are an NHS organisation, independent provider, care agency or an individual nurse, CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you access to the knowledge, tools and peer support you need to navigate complex CHC, CQC and community care requirements with confidence.

What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional support community for nurses and a specialist CHC consultancy service for healthcare providers.

Our private network is designed as a safe space where CHC nurses can share challenges, ask questions, access guidance and build lasting professional relationships. Only nurses truly understand the pressures of nursing, and our network gives you instant access to colleagues who “get it” – 24/7/365.

Alongside this, our consultancy arm works directly with organisations to deliver CHC training, pre-CQC assessments, case management support, care transition planning and personalised Learning Disability (LD) care planning.

Our Core CHC Services for Healthcare Providers

Specialist Support with Transitions in Healthcare

Transitions of care can be complex and risky for patients, families and providers. We provide expert CHC nursing guidance to support safe, person-centred transitions between services – for example, from hospital to home, into community placements or between care providers.

Our CHC nurses work with you to develop individualised transition plans that prioritise patient safety, continuity of care, and clear communication between all professionals involved, helping to reduce readmissions and improve outcomes.

Pre-CQC Assessments and Quality Compliance Reviews

Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection is essential for any regulated healthcare provider. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers comprehensive pre-CQC assessments with a specific focus on CHC, community care, documentation and care planning.

We review your current policies, procedures, records and frontline practice, then provide clear, actionable feedback that aligns with CQC standards. Our consultancy helps you identify strengths, address gaps and embed robust quality and governance systems for sustained compliance.

Personalised Learning Disability (LD) Care & Support Plans

Our CHC and LD-experienced nurses develop person-centred care and support plans for individuals with Learning Disabilities who may have complex health and social care needs.

We work closely with families, support workers, commissioners and multi-disciplinary teams to design care that promotes independence, dignity, communication and quality of life, while reflecting CHC funding decisions and legal frameworks.

CHC Training & Development for Nurses and Healthcare Teams

CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training

Understanding the NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) process is vital for nurses, assessors and care providers.

Our specialist training courses cover CHC eligibility, assessments, MDT meetings, care planning, NHS-funded nursing care, appeals and Community DoLS applications. Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurse trainers with hands-on practice in UK legal and regulatory frameworks.

Delegates leave with improved confidence, documentation skills and legal awareness, helping organisations to stay compliant and advocate effectively for patients.

CHC-Focused Events, Workshops & Networking Sessions

We run regular CHC events, webinars, workshops and study days for nurses, agency nurses and wider healthcare teams. These sessions explore current CHC policy, best practice and case law updates, with real-world examples from frontline practice.

Our events are also a powerful way to build professional connections within the CHC Nurses Agency Network, enabling attendees to share experiences and stay ahead of changes in CHC and community care.

Expert CHC Case Management and Care Coordination

Person-Centred CHC Case Management

We provide specialist CHC case management services for adults and children with complex, ongoing health needs who are eligible for CHC or joint-funded care.

Our CHC case managers coordinate bespoke, person-centred care packages, liaising with families, providers, commissioners and MDTs to ensure care is clinical, safe, proportionate and cost-effective. We keep the individual at the centre of every decision.

Supporting Clinical and Management Teams

Beyond direct case management, we support clinical leads, managers and team leaders to design, implement and review CHC pathways within their organisation.

We help you embed person-centred care, robust documentation, risk management and legal compliance into everyday practice, supporting both frontline nurses and strategic leaders to deliver consistent high-quality care.

Our CHC Professional Network for Agency Nurses

A Supportive Community of Over 500 CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a thriving private community of CHC agency nurses who support one another professionally and personally.

Through our confidential, invite-only social media groups and online spaces, members can:

We regularly organise virtual and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together. These include:

Educational webinars and masterclasses
Peer case discussion sessions
Informal networking meet-ups
Topic-based workshops on CHC, DoLS, documentation and more

These events are designed to help you relax, connect and grow – because professional development is easier when you feel supported and understood.
