CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training & Support
Expert NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Nursing Support, Training & Professional Community
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist UK-based nursing consultancy and peer network focused on
NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and community-based nursing. We support agency nurses,
independent practitioners and healthcare providers with expert CHC training, consultancy and
case management, alongside a strong professional community that truly understands the realities of nursing.
Our network is built and led by experienced CHC nurses who work at the sharp end of care delivery.
We combine clinical expertise with practical, real-world insight to help improve CHC assessments,
care planning, compliance and patient outcomes, while also supporting nurses’ wellbeing and career development.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses
A Place to Connect, De-Stress and Grow Together
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a friendly, confidential space where agency nurses can connect with
colleagues who genuinely understand the pressures of nursing, CHC decision-making and complex caseloads.
Our community helps members to relax, share experiences and access peer support 24/7.
We host regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nurse community together, and many of our
members build lasting friendships that continue throughout their careers. New members are welcomed into
our private social media groups, where professional issues, clinical questions and practical challenges
can be discussed openly and safely.
Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected through confidential,
invite-only social media groups. These spaces are carefully moderated to remain supportive, professional
and safe, giving nurses a trusted forum to share ideas, ask questions and seek advice all year round.
Comprehensive CHC Consultancy & Healthcare Transition Support
Smooth Transitions and Stronger CHC Outcomes
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist consultancy to support safe, person-centred transitions
between hospital, community and social care settings, including for patients eligible for, or being
assessed for, NHS Continuing Healthcare. Our CHC nurse consultants help providers reduce risks,
improve communication and maintain continuity of care.
We assess individual needs and organisational processes, then develop tailored transition strategies
that protect patient safety, dignity and comfort. Our focus is on practical, nurse-led solutions that
reduce delays, avoidable readmissions and gaps in CHC-funded care.
Risk Reduction and Best Practice Guidance
We train and mentor staff on transition best practice, CHC pathways, effective documentation and
interdisciplinary communication. By strengthening how teams manage transfers of care, we help organisations
to minimise clinical risk, improve patient and family experience and support more robust CHC decision-making.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement Support
Preparing Services for CQC Inspections
Maintaining compliance with Care Quality Commission (CQC) standards is essential for services delivering
CHC and complex care. Our CHC nurse consultants provide pre-CQC readiness reviews, helping organisations
identify gaps, strengthen evidence and embed person-centred practice ahead of inspection.
We review policies, procedures, care planning, clinical documentation and CHC-related processes, then
offer clear, actionable feedback. Our goal is to align frontline nursing practice with regulatory
requirements while keeping patient safety and experience at the centre.
Key Areas Covered in Our Reviews
Our pre-CQC work typically covers governance frameworks, CHC documentation quality, staff competence and
training, safeguarding, risk management and patient safety. We co-produce realistic action plans with
your teams to drive continuous quality improvement and demonstrate your commitment to high standards of care.
Person-Centred Care Plans for Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs
Supporting Independence, Rights and Quality of Life
CHC Nurses Agency Network specialises in person-centred care and support plans for individuals with
learning disabilities and complex physical or mental health needs, including those eligible for NHS
Continuing Healthcare funding. Our nurses work collaboratively with individuals, families, carers and
multi-disciplinary teams.
Each care plan is tailored to the person’s strengths, preferences and goals, while also addressing
clinical needs, communication, behaviour support and risk management. We focus on promoting independence,
choice, dignity and safety in every setting.
Holistic, Evidence-Based LD and CHC Care Planning
Our approach considers physical health, emotional wellbeing, sensory needs, social participation and
environmental factors. Plans are reviewed regularly to stay responsive to changing needs and CHC reviews,
helping to maintain stable, high-quality packages of care and giving families confidence in the support provided.
Specialist CHC Training & Community DoLS Application Process Support
Practical CHC Training for Nurses and Healthcare Teams
We offer focused training programmes on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) eligibility, the Decision Support
Tool (DST), care planning, fast-track pathways and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)
application processes. Our courses are designed for agency nurses, care home staff, community teams and managers.
Training is delivered by senior CHC nurses with current field experience, using real-life examples and
case studies. Sessions can be delivered online or in person and are tailored to your team’s existing
knowledge, service type and local Integrated Care Board (ICB) requirements.
Benefits of Our CHC & DoLS Training
Our training helps staff understand CHC frameworks, evidence requirements and legal duties, reducing
errors and improving the quality of referrals, assessments and reviews. With increased confidence and
clarity around CHC and DoLS processes, teams can make more accurate decisions, support patient rights
and streamline communication with ICBs and local authorities.
CHC Events, Workshops & Professional Development
Networking and Continuing Professional Development for CHC Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular workshops, webinars and networking events focused on
NHS Continuing Healthcare, complex care, legal updates and best practice in community nursing.
These events are ideal for agency nurses and organisations who want to stay up to date in a fast-changing area.
Attendees gain practical insights into CHC policy changes, documentation standards, decision support tools,
funding disputes and complex case management. Events contribute to CPD and are designed to be interactive,
solution-focused and grounded in frontline nursing experience.
Opportunities for Collaboration and Shared Learning
Our events also provide valuable opportunities to connect with CHC specialists, senior nurses and peers
from across the UK. By building collaborative relationships and sharing real-world learning, we help to
raise standards in CHC practice and strengthen the voice of agency nurses within the wider system.
Expert Case Management for CHC Patients & Families
Person-Centred CHC Case Coordination
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist nurse-led case management for adults and children going
through NHS Continuing Healthcare assessments, reviews or appeals. We work closely with patients, families
and multidisciplinary teams to ensure that needs are accurately assessed and appropriately funded.
Our CHC case managers coordinate assessments, gather clinical evidence, support meetings, and help develop
robust, outcome-focused care plans. We ensure each person’s voice is heard, their rights are respected,
and their package of care matches the complexity of their needs.
Supporting Fair, Transparent and Timely CHC Processes
We help families and providers navigate complex CHC pathways, reduce delays and resolve issues around
eligibility, reviews or changes in care. Our nurses advocate for safe, person-centred decisions, ensuring
that legal and regulatory standards are met at every stage and that care remains sustainable over time.
