CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Training, Consultancy and a Supportive Professional Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community nursing and complex care.
We combine expert CHC training and advisory services with a thriving peer network so that agency nurses and healthcare providers can deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care in every setting.
Our mission is to support CHC nurses with the practical skills, regulatory knowledge and emotional backing they need to excel in high‑pressure healthcare environments.
Specialist CHC Training and Consultancy for Healthcare Professionals
We provide tailored CHC training programmes and consultancy services that address the real challenges nurses and providers face in Continuing Healthcare and community care.
Our courses are grounded in current NHS CHC frameworks, legal guidance and CQC expectations, ensuring your practice stays compliant and up to date.
Whether you are new to CHC or a highly experienced agency nurse, our training supports you to deepen your expertise and improve outcomes for patients and organisations.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DoLS Application Process Training
One of our core strengths is detailed training on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) application processes.
Our expert trainers guide nurses and multidisciplinary teams through eligibility criteria, completion of the CHC Checklist and Decision Support Tool (DST), documentation standards and funding pathways.
This specialist training reduces errors, improves confidence in assessments, and streamlines complex CHC and DoLS processes across community and acute settings.
Preparing for CQC Inspections with Pre‑CQC Quality Assessments
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre‑CQC quality assessments to help healthcare providers and community services prepare for Care Quality Commission inspections.
We review care records, policies, CHC processes, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and DoLS compliance, as well as staffing and governance arrangements.
Our practical recommendations enable organisations to close gaps, evidence quality and demonstrate a culture of continuous improvement before CQC visits.
Expert Support for Learning Disabilities, Complex Needs and Person‑Centred Care
We recognise the complexity of caring for people with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and long‑term complex health needs within CHC and community pathways.
Our network includes experienced LD and complex‑care nurses who can support the development of robust, person‑centred care and support plans.
By combining clinical best practice with a deep understanding of each individual’s preferences, we help services deliver safe, dignified and outcomes‑focused care.
Creating Person‑Centred Support Plans in CHC and Community Settings
Our approach to care planning is collaborative and person‑centred, involving individuals, families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams.
We help providers create clear, accessible and holistic support plans that balance clinical needs with personal goals, communication preferences, behaviour support strategies and risk management.
This approach promotes independence, choice and quality of life while meeting legal and regulatory requirements.
Healthcare Transition Support and CHC Case Management Expertise
Safer Transitions Between Hospital, Home and Community Care
Transitions between hospital, home, residential care and community settings are high‑risk times for individuals with complex needs and CHC funding.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports services to plan and coordinate safe discharges, admissions and step‑down arrangements.
By focusing on communication, continuity of care and robust handover documentation, we help reduce avoidable readmissions and adverse incidents.
Specialist CHC Case Management and Care Coordination
Our network includes nurses skilled in CHC case management who can advise on coordinating packages of care, managing reviews and resolving disputes.
We promote a person‑centred, evidence‑based approach that considers clinical needs, carer input, legal frameworks and local commissioning policies.
Effective case management supports better patient outcomes, protects professional accountability and ensures public funds are used responsibly.
A Thriving Professional Community for CHC Agency Nurses
Alongside our training and consultancy, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive professional community where agency nurses can connect, learn and share experiences.
We understand that only another nurse truly knows the pressures, complexity and emotional impact of frontline practice.
Our network gives CHC nurses a safe space to discuss professional issues, seek advice and support each other throughout their careers.
Private Social Media Groups and 24/7 Peer Support
We host confidential, invite‑only social media groups where our core network of around 500 CHC agency nurses communicate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Members share good practice, discuss complex CHC cases, explore career opportunities and support one another through the daily challenges of nursing.
Many of our members form strong professional relationships and friendships that last for years.
Regular Events, Networking and Continuing Professional Development (CPD)
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events, including webinars, workshops, case‑discussion sessions and informal meet‑ups.
Our events offer agency nurses and healthcare providers the opportunity to deepen their CHC knowledge, stay current with policy changes and build strong professional networks.
Attending our events contributes to ongoing CPD and helps nurses enhance their confidence, competence and career prospects within CHC and community care.
