Our expert consultants are experienced CHC nurses who understand both frontline practice and regulatory expectations, enabling them to identify practical improvements that work in real clinical environments.
Pre-CQC Assessments and Quality Improvement Support
We offer pre-CQC assessment services to help organisations prepare confidently for inspections and strengthen ongoing quality assurance:

Person-Centred Support for People with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC packages involve supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and complex health needs. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides guidance and training to help nurses and providers deliver genuinely personalised, rights-based care.
We collaborate with families, multidisciplinary teams and support workers to shape care that promotes independence, dignity, communication, choice and safety.
Developing Effective Care and Support Plans
Our approach to learning disability care planning is holistic and evidence-based, typically covering:
- Daily living support: Routines, independence skills, community access and meaningful activities.
- Health and clinical needs: Physical health, mental health, epilepsy, behaviours of concern and complex therapies.
- Communication and advocacy: Preferred communication methods, reasonable adjustments and best-interest processes.
- Safety and risk management: Proportionate risk assessments that balance safety with quality of life.
This ensures care plans are practical, person-centred and aligned with CHC funding obligations and safeguarding standards.
