Core Services from CHC Nurses Agency Network
Specialist Healthcare Training for CHC & Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers targeted training programmes designed specifically for CHC, community and agency nurses. Our courses are built around current UK guidance, practical skills and regulatory expectations.
We cover areas such as clinical skills, care planning, CHC eligibility and assessments, Community DoLS applications, documentation and CQC-related compliance, with content tailored to the realities of agency and community-based practice.
Healthcare Consultancy for Providers & Case Managers
Our consultancy services support care providers, commissioners and case managers in navigating complex funding systems, meeting CQC standards and improving quality in CHC-funded care.
We provide strategic advice on service design, CHC pathway implementation, governance, documentation, and risk management – always grounded in current law, guidance and best practice in continuing healthcare.
Professional Network & Peer Support for CHC Nurses
At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is a thriving professional community of more than 500 CHC and agency nurses. We run invite-only, confidential social media groups that enable nurses to:

Our network is built on mutual respect, shared understanding and the belief that only another nurse truly understands the pressures of nursing.
Specialist Services Backed by Real-World CHC Experience
Supporting Safe Transitions in Healthcare
Smooth Transitions Between Hospital, Home & Community Settings
Transitions from hospital to home, or between care settings, are high-risk moments for patients, families and staff. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist consultancy and training to support safe, coordinated transitions in CHC-funded and community care.
We help teams design robust transition plans that prioritise continuity of care, clear communication, medication safety and person-centred planning, reducing avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns.
The Role of CHC & Agency Nurses in Transitions
Our network supports nurses to lead and coordinate transition planning, understand their responsibilities, and apply best practice in documentation, risk assessment and multi-disciplinary working.
Through our training and peer groups, nurses gain the confidence to advocate effectively for patients and families during complex discharge and transfer processes.
Pre-CQC Support & Inspection Readiness
Pre-CQC Assessments for Confidence & Compliance
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can feel overwhelming, especially for services delivering CHC-funded or complex community care. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC consultancy to help organisations understand where they stand.
We carry out mock inspections and documentation reviews, identifying strengths and areas for improvement against the CQC’s key questions of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
Strategies to Improve Ratings & Reduce Risk
Following pre-assessment, we support providers with action planning, staff training and process improvements to strengthen compliance and governance.
Our aim is to reduce inspection-related stress, enhance patient safety and help organisations achieve better inspection outcomes through consistent, sustainable quality improvement.
Person-Centred Care Planning for People with Learning Disabilities
Specialist Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC and community nursing roles involve supporting people with learning disabilities (LD) who have complex health needs. The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers guidance and training on developing person-centred, strengths-based care plans for this group.
We focus on balancing safety, independence and choice, ensuring that healthcare interventions are integrated sensitively into daily living and that communication needs and preferences are respected.
Evidence-Based Approaches to LD Care
Our training incorporates current evidence, national policy and best practice in LD nursing, behaviour support and reasonable adjustments.
This helps nurses and organisations design care plans that improve health outcomes, reduce restrictive practices and enhance overall quality of life.
Training in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoLS
Demystifying CHC Funding & Assessment Processes
Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) frameworks and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications is essential for nurses working in community and complex care settings.
We provide structured training on CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), Fast Track pathways, and the legal and ethical aspects of deprivation of liberty in the community.
Improving Accuracy, Compliance & Outcomes
Our courses help nurses, case managers and providers to complete CHC assessments accurately, document needs effectively and navigate local CHC processes with greater confidence.
This leads to more timely funding decisions, more appropriate care packages and better person-centred outcomes for individuals with complex needs.
Active Engagement with CHC Events & Professional Development
Events, Workshops & Networking for CHC Professionals
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly hosts and participates in CHC-focused events, webinars and workshops, offering members opportunities to stay up to date with:
- Changes in CHC policy, guidance and case law
- Best practice in community and complex care
- Documentation, safeguarding and risk management
- Professional development and career progression
Our events are designed to support lifelong learning, networking and collaboration across the CHC and agency nursing community.
Expert Case Management & Complex Care Support
Person-Centred Case Management in CHC Settings
Our network includes experienced CHC case managers and complex care nurses who can support the development of holistic, person-centred care plans for individuals with high levels of need.
We help coordinate multi-disciplinary input, community services and care packages, ensuring that plans remain aligned with people’s goals, rights and legal entitlements.
Supporting Healthcare Teams Managing Complex Cases
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also supports healthcare teams by sharing practical tools, templates and peer-tested approaches to managing complex cases safely and efficiently.
Through our online groups and events, nurses can seek advice on challenging scenarios, documentation issues, safeguarding concerns and ethical dilemmas.
