Introduction to CHC Nurses Agency Network: Your Partner in Continuing Healthcare Excellence
In a complex and rapidly changing NHS and social care system, having the right support around Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is essential for safe, high‑quality, person‑centred care.
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK‑wide community and consultancy of highly experienced CHC nurses, offering specialist training, guidance, and peer support to nurses, case managers, and healthcare organisations.
We help professionals and providers navigate CHC processes, improve care quality, and stay compliant with regulatory standards, while building lasting professional connections.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a professional consultancy and a supportive community of over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals.
Our private, invite‑only social media groups and regular events give nurses a safe place to share professional issues, ask questions, and learn from others who truly understand the demands of CHC and community nursing.
Members regularly stay in touch, build long‑term friendships, and access collective expertise 24‑7‑365, helping them progress their careers and deliver better outcomes for patients and families.
Our CHC Training, Consultancy & Support Services
Specialist CHC & Community Nursing Training Programmes
We deliver practical, up‑to‑date training designed specifically for nurses, case managers, and healthcare teams working with NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community‑based packages of care.
Our courses focus on real‑world practice, giving professionals the tools and confidence to manage complex assessments, care planning, and regulatory requirements.
CHC Eligibility, DST & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Our CHC eligibility and Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) training explains the full pathway, from checklist to Decision Support Tool (DST), panel decisions, and funding arrangements.
Delivered by experienced CHC nurses, it covers evidence gathering, MDT working, lawful best‑interest decisions, and accurate documentation so your team can manage CHC and DoLS processes safely and effectively.
Pre‑CQC Readiness & Quality Compliance Support
Being prepared is critical for successful Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections, especially where CHC and complex care packages are provided.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports providers with pre‑CQC assessments focused on CHC, record‑keeping, capacity and consent, risk management, and person‑centred practice.
We review policies, procedures, and clinical documentation, then provide clear, actionable recommendations to help you meet CQC expectations and maintain continuous quality improvement.
Safe Transitions of Care & Discharge Planning
Transitions – such as hospital discharge to home or between care settings – can be high‑risk moments for people with CHC funding or complex health needs.
Our experienced nurses provide transitions support, helping organisations and teams plan and coordinate safe, seamless moves that protect continuity of care.
We focus on communication, clear documentation, risk assessment, and personalised planning to reduce avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns.
Specialist CHC Care Planning & Case Management
Learning Disability (LD) & Autism Care and Support Plans
We work with providers and professionals to design robust, person‑centred Learning Disability (LD) and autism care & support plans aligned with CHC and local commissioning requirements.
Our plans promote independence, dignity, choice, and positive risk‑taking, while addressing complex health needs, communication, behaviour support, and daily living skills.
We collaborate closely with families, MDTs, and support teams to ensure each plan is practical, legally sound, and tailored to the person’s goals and preferences.
CHC Case Management & Complex Care Coordination
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist case management and consultancy for individuals receiving NHS Continuing Healthcare funding in the community.
We help design and review packages of care, coordinate multidisciplinary input, and ensure care plans are clinically appropriate, person‑centred, and reflective of assessed needs.
Our team supports safe staffing, resource optimisation, and legal compliance, while keeping the individual’s well‑being, rights, and outcomes at the heart of every decision.
