CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Support & Community for Nurses

Expert CHC Training, Consultancy and Peer Support for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist nursing consultancy and professional network dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care and high-quality community nursing. We provide expert CHC training, consultancy, case support and peer networking for agency nurses, case managers and healthcare organisations across the UK.

Our mission is to empower nurses and providers to deliver safe, person‑centred care by offering targeted CHC education, care transition support, pre‑CQC readiness reviews, and bespoke care planning for people with complex health needs and Learning Disabilities (LD). At the same time, we offer a supportive online and in‑person community so that CHC agency nurses can connect, de‑stress and grow together.

With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, we combine real‑world clinical expertise with robust regulatory and commissioning knowledge to help you improve outcomes, strengthen documentation and maintain compliance with NHS CHC, CQC and local authority expectations.

What We Do at CHC Nurses Agency Network

1. CHC Agency Nurse Community & Peer Support

A Private, Supportive Network Just for CHC Agency Nurses

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place where CHC agency nurses can relax, share experiences and be understood. Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, emotional load and complexity of CHC work – and that is exactly why our network exists.

We host confidential, invite‑only social media groups where nurses can raise professional issues, ask questions and access peer support 24/7/365. Many members form lasting friendships that continue long after working on the same contracts or projects.

Events, Meet‑Ups and Ongoing Connection

We run regular online and in‑person events – from CHC masterclasses and case discussions to informal meet‑ups – to bring our community together. Most nurses stay connected long term, building strong professional and social networks that support both career development and well‑being.

New CHC agency nurses are warmly welcomed into our private social media groups and member events, helping you settle quickly into CHC work, navigate agency life and avoid burnout.

2. CHC & Community Healthcare Training

Specialist CHC and Community DoLS Training for Nurses

We offer structured CHC training programmes designed specifically for nurses and healthcare professionals working with NHS Continuing Healthcare, complex community care and Community DoLS (Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) applications.

Our training covers eligibility assessments, the Decision Support Tool (DST), evidence‑based documentation, care planning for CHC‑funded packages, and the Community DoLS application process, equipping you to work confidently, compliantly and effectively within CHC frameworks.

Improving Clinical Practice, Outcomes and Documentation

All training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and case practitioners who understand exactly what commissioners and CQC inspectors expect to see. You will gain practical skills to:

  • Improve the quality of clinical documentation for CHC cases
  • Support robust CHC eligibility decisions with clear evidence
  • Enhance person‑centred care planning and risk management
  • Navigate funding, appeals and dispute processes with confidence

3. Healthcare Transitions & Complex Care Coordination

Safe, Seamless Transitions Between Care Settings

Transitions in care – such as hospital to home, placement changes or step‑down services – can be risky for patients with complex needs. Our CHC‑experienced nurses and consultants support safe, well-planned transitions to protect continuity, safety and quality of life.

We work with providers, commissioners, families and agency staff to map out personalised care pathways, ensuring that clinical needs, risks, equipment, staffing and communication processes are all fully considered.

Reducing Readmissions and Ensuring Continuity of Care

Through proactive planning and strong interdisciplinary communication, we help organisations and nurses to:

  • Reduce avoidable hospital readmissions
  • Maintain clinical stability and person‑centred routines
  • Minimise distress, safeguarding concerns and service breakdown
  • Ensure accurate information transfer across all care settings

4. Pre‑CQC Assessment & Quality Improvement Support

Pre‑CQC Readiness Reviews for Providers and Nursing Teams

We support providers and nurse-led services with pre‑CQC assessments focused on clinical quality, documentation and CHC‑related care delivery. Our experienced nurses conduct detailed reviews of policies, procedures, care plans, risk assessments and record‑keeping.

You’ll receive clear, actionable feedback highlighting strengths, non‑conformities and priority areas for improvement so that your organisation is inspection‑ready and aligned with the latest CQC key questions and quality statements.

Embedding Continuous Improvement and Compliance

Working with CHC Nurses Agency Network gives you access to targeted quality improvement strategies that enhance:

  • Patient safety and safeguarding practice
  • Regulatory and contractual compliance
  • Clinical governance around CHC‑funded packages
  • Operational efficiency and workforce effectiveness

5. Learning Disability (LD) Care & Person‑Centred Support Plans

Specialist Person‑Centred LD Care Planning

Many CHC‑funded packages involve individuals with Learning Disabilities and complex needs. Our team supports providers and nurses to design person‑centred LD care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and choice.

We collaborate closely with families, multidisciplinary teams and support workers to create plans that reflect the person’s communication style, preferences, behaviours, health needs and long‑term goals.

Promoting Independence, Safety and Quality of Life

Using evidence‑based approaches, Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) principles and robust risk management, we help teams to:

  • Support daily living skills and community inclusion
  • Reduce restrictive practices and unnecessary admissions
  • Respond safely and compassionately to behavioural distress
  • Protect well‑being, rights and autonomy

6. CHC Events, Workshops and Networking

Regular CHC‑Focused Events for Learning and Connection

We host and participate in a wide range of CHC events, workshops, webinars and networking sessions tailored for CHC agency nurses and providers. Topics include:

  • Updates on NHS CHC policy and national frameworks
  • Best practice in complex care and risk management
  • Improving CHC documentation and evidence
  • Self‑care, resilience and burnout prevention for agency nurses

Staying Current with CHC Practice and Policy

Our events help you to stay up to date with commissioning expectations, legal changes and inspection trends, while also building a trusted network of CHC professionals to share ideas and solutions.

7. Expert CHC Case Management & Consultancy

Specialist Case Support for Complex CHC Situations

Our experienced CHC nurses provide case management and consultancy support for complex or high‑risk situations, including:

  • Challenging care packages or placement breakdown
  • Safeguarding and risk escalation
  • Disputed eligibility or funding decisions
  • Service re‑design or step‑up/step‑down arrangements

We work alongside commissioners, providers, families and legal teams to develop safe, sustainable solutions that keep the person at the centre.

Supporting Agency Nurses and Multidisciplinary Teams

For agency nurses, we offer practical guidance on legal, ethical and regulatory requirements, helping you to feel confident when working within new services or unfamiliar CHC pathways. Our support strengthens teamworking, communication and clinical decision‑making across providers.
