CHC Training & Education for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals

CHC Assessment & Community DoLS Application Process Training

Understanding the full Continuing Healthcare (CHC) pathway – from Checklist to DST, panel and review – is essential for safe, lawful and person-centred decision-making. Our specialised courses cover eligibility criteria, evidence gathering, decision support tools (DSTs), ICB processes and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) applications.

Delivered by experienced CHC nurse specialists, these sessions give practitioners the confidence to work competently within the National Framework and associated guidance.

Clear understanding of CHC eligibility, primary health need and NHS funding structures
Step‑by‑step guidance on completing CHC assessments, DSTs and supporting documentation

Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be daunting, especially for providers delivering CHC-funded or complex community packages. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre‑CQC assessments and consultancy to help you evidence safe, effective, responsive, caring and well-led services.
