CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community
In a fast-changing healthcare environment, agency nurses and healthcare providers need expert Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training, clear guidance, and a supportive professional community. CHC Nurses Agency Network brings all three together, offering specialist CHC training, consultancy services, and a thriving peer network for nurses and healthcare teams across the UK.
Whether you are an agency nurse seeking to deepen your CHC knowledge, or a healthcare organisation looking for expert CHC support, CHC Nurses Agency Network provides practical, evidence-based solutions that improve patient outcomes and professional confidence.
Who We Are: A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community built by and for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare and complex care. We create a space where agency nurses can relax, connect, and access specialist knowledge that directly supports their day-to-day work.
Only another nurse truly understands the demands, pressures, and responsibility that come with nursing. Our network offers a confidential, supportive environment where nurses can share experiences, seek advice, and build relationships with colleagues who genuinely understand the realities of CHC practice.
We currently have a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who engage daily across our secure, invite-only social media groups and events.
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Expert Training
With CHC frameworks, funding rules and regulatory expectations constantly evolving, agency nurses must stay up to date to provide safe, compliant, and person-centred care. CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers specialist training tailored specifically to CHC roles and responsibilities.
Our educational programmes are designed to enhance your understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, assessment processes, decision-making, and care planning. Training is practical, case-based, and focused on real-world scenarios you encounter in community and acute settings.
Specialist CHC Courses for Clinical and Non-Clinical Staff
We offer a range of courses and workshops for agency nurses, case managers, and healthcare providers, including:
- Introduction to NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and the National Framework
- CHC eligibility, checklists, and full assessments
- Care planning, case management and complex needs
- CHC reviews, appeals, and dispute resolution
- Community placements, risk management, and multidisciplinary working
All training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and industry specialists, ensuring you receive up-to-date, evidence-based knowledge that can be applied immediately in practice.
Comprehensive Healthcare Consultancy Services for CHC Providers
Alongside professional development, CHC Nurses Agency Network offers consultancy services to support organisations delivering or commissioning CHC and complex community care.
Transitions in Continuing Healthcare and Community Care
Transitions between hospital, home, and community placements can be particularly challenging for CHC-funded patients. We provide consultancy to help organisations manage:
- Safe discharge and admission processes for CHC-funded individuals
- Transitions between acute, community, and specialist services
- Continuity of care and communication between teams and providers
- Risk assessments and person-centred support planning
Our experienced CHC nurses work with your teams to design practical transition pathways that enhance safety, comfort, and continuity of care for people with complex needs.
Pre-CQC and Quality Readiness Support
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) visits can be especially demanding for services delivering CHC-funded care. We provide targeted pre-assessment support to help you evidence best practice in complex and continuing healthcare.
Our consultancy covers:
- Review of policies, procedures, and care documentation related to CHC
- Audit of CHC care plans, risk assessments, and reviews
- Staff knowledge, competency, and training needs around CHC
- Action plans and recommendations for quality improvement
We help organisations build confidence, demonstrate compliance, and embed sustainable quality improvements across CHC services.
Person-Centred Support for Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many CHC-funded individuals live with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, and additional physical or mental health conditions. Our network includes nurses with extensive expertise in LD and complex care.
Through training and consultancy, we support:
- Person-centred care planning and positive risk management
- Promoting independence, dignity, and choice
- Multi-agency working across health, social care, and family networks
- Best practice in community placements and supported living
We promote holistic approaches that improve quality of life and ensure care is aligned with current legislation and best practice.
Specialist CHC and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Training
Supporting Healthcare Providers with CHC Eligibility and Funding
Understanding CHC eligibility, funding, and ongoing reviews is critical for both nurses and organisations. CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist training on:
- CHC checklists and full assessments
- Evidence gathering, documentation, and MDT decision-making
- Fast-track CHC for end-of-life care
- Appeals, disputes, and legal considerations
Our training ensures agency nurses and provider teams are confident in applying the National Framework, supporting individuals to access appropriate CHC funding and services.
Understanding Community DoL (Deprivation of Liberty) in CHC Settings
Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) in community settings, including CHC-funded packages, can be complex to navigate. We offer focused training to simplify legal and ethical requirements.
Our sessions cover:
- Legal frameworks for DoL in community and domestic settings
- Best practice in assessment, documentation, and applications
- Balancing safety, choice, and human rights
- Preparing for the transition to Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) where applicable
This training helps organisations safeguard patient rights while maintaining compliance with statutory guidance.
