CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Professional Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) professionals, agency nurses, and healthcare organisations. We combine expert CHC training, healthcare consultancy, and a thriving nurse network to raise standards of care, strengthen professional practice, and make working in nursing more rewarding.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the daily pressures of agency work, complex CHC assessments, and the demands of regulatory compliance. We provide tailored education, guidance, and peer support so nurses and organisations can deliver safe, person‑centred, and compliant care every day.
Alongside our consultancy and training services, we host regular CHC events, workshops, and confidential online groups where more than 500 CHC agency nurses share knowledge, solve professional challenges, and support each other 24/7/365.
Specialist CHC Training Programmes for Nurses and Healthcare Teams
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training & Development
Comprehensive CHC Eligibility, Assessment and Funding Training
The CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers specialist CHC training designed to deepen understanding of the NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility process, assessment tools and care planning requirements. Our courses cover the CHC National Framework, Decision Support Tool (DST), Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) working, and funding pathways.
Delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants, our programmes give agency nurses and healthcare staff the confidence to complete robust assessments, contribute effectively at MDT meetings, and support patients and families through complex CHC decisions.
DOLs, Community CHC and Support Planning Training
We also offer targeted training on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), community CHC, and the development of safe, person‑centred support plans. Our sessions provide practical guidance on lawful restrictions, best interest decisions, risk assessments and documentation.
Participants learn how to coordinate community CHC packages, write effective support plans, and work collaboratively with commissioners, local authorities and multidisciplinary teams to maintain compliance and protect patient rights.
Events, Workshops and Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
Regular CHC Events and Peer-Led Learning
Our network runs regular CHC events, workshops, webinars and networking sessions across the year, giving agency nurses the opportunity to stay up to date with the latest CHC policies, case law, commissioning guidance and best practice.
These events provide a relaxed but professional environment to learn, ask questions, share real‑world experiences, and build long‑term connections with other CHC professionals who truly understand the pressures and rewards of nursing.
Private Social Media Groups and 24/7 Support
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gain access to several invite‑only, confidential social media groups where our core community of around 500 CHC agency nurses share professional issues, discuss complex cases, and offer mutual support every day of the year.
Many nurses in our network not only develop their professional knowledge and confidence, but also build lasting friendships and support systems that continue far beyond individual contracts or roles.
Consultancy, Pre‑CQC Support and Transition Management
Managing Transitions in Healthcare and CHC Packages
Safe, Person‑Centred Patient Transitions
Transitions between hospital, community and long‑term care settings can be high‑risk moments for patients, families and providers. Our CHC nurse consultants offer expert guidance on safe discharge planning, CHC package set‑up, and maintaining continuity of care.
We help trusts, ICBs, care providers and agencies design transition pathways that minimise disruption, reduce readmissions and ensure every patient experiences a coordinated, person‑centred move between services.
Pre‑CQC Assessments and Quality Improvement
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides pre‑CQC assessment support for organisations delivering CHC, nursing and complex care services. Experienced nurses review your policies, documentation, care plans and governance systems against CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs).
Following our review, we supply actionable feedback and tailored improvement plans so your service is better prepared for inspection, more compliant with regulatory requirements, and able to demonstrate safe, effective and well‑led care.
Person‑Centred Care for Individuals with Complex Needs & Learning Disabilities
Developing Specialist Support Plans for CHC and LD Patients
Holistic, Person‑Centred Planning
Our network has extensive experience supporting individuals with learning disabilities (LD), autism and complex health needs who are eligible for CHC or jointly‑funded packages. We work closely with families, carers and multidisciplinary teams to co‑create truly person‑centred care and support plans.
Each plan addresses clinical needs, communication, behaviour support, daily living, and meaningful activities, with a strong focus on dignity, rights, and individual preferences at every stage of care delivery.
Promoting Independence, Safety and Quality of Life
Our approach prioritises independence, choice and community inclusion while ensuring robust risk management and legal compliance. We help teams design support that enables people to live as safely and independently as possible, with outcomes focused on well‑being, stability and quality of life.
Case Management, Multi‑Agency Working and Regulatory Compliance
Expert Case Management for Complex CHC Needs
Coordinated, Person‑Centred Case Management
Our experienced case managers support complex CHC patients and their families through assessment, planning, implementation and review of care packages. We coordinate with providers, commissioners, therapists, GPs and social care teams to ensure a joined‑up approach.
This multi‑agency coordination helps optimise resources, reduce duplication and deliver truly person‑centred care, improving both clinical outcomes and overall satisfaction for patients and families.
Supporting Legal, Clinical and Regulatory Best Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network advises healthcare teams and agencies on CHC governance, documentation, risk management, DoLS/MCA compliance and CQC standards. Our consultants provide clear guidance on up‑to‑date frameworks and best practice.
By embedding robust processes and evidence‑based practice, we help organisations maintain safe, high‑quality environments for staff and patients while meeting all relevant regulatory and contractual obligations.
