CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Connecting, Supporting & Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service dedicated to agency nurses and healthcare providers working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community settings and complex care across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy and a strong professional network to help nurses deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Our private network allows CHC agency nurses to connect, share real-world experience and access support from colleagues who truly understand the pressures, complexity and responsibility of frontline nursing.
Alongside this, we support organisations with CHC training, CQC readiness, case management and policy implementation.
A Professional Network Built by CHC Agency Nurses, for CHC Agency Nurses
As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and professional demands of our work.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a safe place to relax, connect and grow your career, surrounded by professionals who speak the same language.
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our community together, and most members stay in touch through our private, invite-only social media groups.
Many nurses in our network become long-term friends, sharing support, job opportunities, CHC advice and professional insight for years.
We openly discuss professional issues 24/7/365 among a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, using confidential groups to protect both privacy and professionalism.
New members are always welcome to join our CHC agency nurse community, attend events and participate in our private social platforms.
Specialist Training for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Courses
We deliver targeted Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training designed specifically for agency nurses, nursing teams, case managers and healthcare providers who work with CHC-funded patients.
Our courses cover CHC eligibility, DSTs, assessments, appeals, joint-funded packages, and robust documentation.
Each session is delivered by experienced CHC nurses who use real case examples to explain complex processes clearly.
Whether you are new to CHC or an experienced practitioner looking to update your knowledge, our interactive training increases confidence in managing CHC pathways and care packages.
CQC Readiness & Compliance Training
CHC Nurses Agency Network supports healthcare providers, managers and agency staff with practical training on CQC compliance and inspection readiness.
We help you understand how CQC regulations apply to CHC and community care, and how to evidence safe, effective, well-led services.
Participants learn how to implement robust policies, carry out meaningful audits, maintain accurate clinical records and build a culture of continuous quality improvement.
Our aim is to help you achieve and maintain strong CQC ratings while consistently delivering high standards of patient care.
Expert CHC Consultancy Services for Nurses & Providers
Specialist CHC Consultancy & Case Support
We provide consultancy to agency nurses, care providers and organisations navigating the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare.
This includes support with CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), appeals, care planning, funding queries and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) involvement.
Our consultants are highly experienced CHC professionals who offer clear, practical advice to streamline processes, reduce disputes and optimise outcomes for patients and providers alike.
We work alongside your teams to strengthen clinical reasoning, documentation and decision-making in every case.
Pre-CQC Assessment & Mock Inspections
Preparing for a CQC inspection can be demanding, particularly when CHC, complex care and community services are involved.
We carry out pre-CQC assessments and mock inspections to identify strengths, risk areas and gaps in evidence before the real inspection takes place.
Following our review, we provide a clear, actionable report with priorities and practical recommendations.
This proactive support helps providers improve compliance, strengthen quality assurance systems and build confidence ahead of CQC visits.
Safe Transitions & Person-Centred Care for Complex Needs
Transition Support Across Care Settings
Transitions between hospital, home, nursing homes and community settings are high-risk moments for patients with CHC funding or complex needs.
Our experienced nurses support providers and families to plan and manage safe, well-coordinated transitions.
We prioritise continuity, accurate communication, medication safety and person-centred planning to minimise avoidable admissions and readmissions.
By working closely with multi-disciplinary teams and commissioners, we promote smoother handovers and better outcomes.
Person-Centred Care Planning for Learning Disabilities & Autism
CHC Nurses Agency Network has strong expertise in developing person-centred care plans for people with learning disabilities, autism and complex behavioural needs.
We work with families, providers and agency nurses to create tailored care and support plans that promote safety, choice, dignity and independence.
Using the latest evidence-based approaches and national guidance, we help services to reduce restrictive practices, build positive risk management strategies and improve quality of life.
Our person-centred approach keeps the individual’s goals, preferences and communication needs at the centre of every decision.
CHC & Community DoLS Expertise for Agency Nurses
Training on CHC, DoLS & Future LPS Processes
We deliver specialist training on CHC processes, Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) and the upcoming Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS), designed for agency nurses and care teams working in community and residential settings.
Our sessions cover legal frameworks, capacity assessments, best interests decisions, documentation, and how these link with CHC eligibility and funding arrangements.
Attendees leave with a stronger understanding of their legal duties and how to protect patients’ rights while remaining fully compliant.
Keeping Nurses & Providers Updated on Policy Changes
The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly hosts and participates in CHC-focused webinars, workshops and professional discussion groups.
These events provide updates on national policy, local commissioning arrangements, legal rulings and best practice in Continuing Healthcare.
By engaging with our community, agency nurses and providers stay informed about changes in CHC, DoLS/LPS, CQC expectations and wider community nursing practice.
Continuous learning and peer networking help our members stay ahead in a fast-changing healthcare landscape.
Case Management Support & Professional Oversight
Person-Centred Case Coordination
We support providers and nursing teams with case management for CHC-funded and complex care patients, ensuring that care remains truly person-centred and well-coordinated.
Our nurses work with families, MDTs and commissioners to align clinical, social and emotional needs in a single, coherent plan.
By improving communication between all parties and monitoring outcomes, we help reduce avoidable incidents, complaints and breakdowns in care packages.
Our goal is to optimise quality, safety and patient satisfaction at every stage of the care journey.
Legal, Regulatory & Professional Compliance
CHC Nurses Agency Network ensures that all consultancy and case management support is aligned with current legal, regulatory and professional standards, including NMC Code requirements, CQC regulations, NHS CHC frameworks and safeguarding guidance.
We provide oversight, reflective guidance and practical tools to help nurses and providers remain compliant while still delivering compassionate, individualised care.
This balance of professional rigour and human-centred practice is central to our approach.
