CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Agency Nurses
Supporting Agency Nurses with CHC Training, Consultancy & a Strong Professional Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and healthcare organisations seeking specialist expertise.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy, and case support with a growing community of over 500 CHC agency nurses who share knowledge, best practice, and real-world experience.
Our mission is to empower nurses, improve CHC assessment and care planning standards, and help providers and individuals navigate the complexities of the UK Continuing Healthcare system.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the demands, pressures, and responsibilities that come with the profession.
That’s why our network exists – to provide practical support, peer connection, and professional development for CHC agency nurses across the country.
Comprehensive CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Teams
We offer specialist CHC training programmes designed for agency nurses, case managers, and multidisciplinary teams working in Continuing Healthcare, community care, and complex care.
Our courses cover eligibility assessments, CHC funding pathways, care planning, legal frameworks, and documentation best practice.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and consultants, ensuring content is practical, up-to-date, and aligned with NHS and national policy guidance.
Focused Training on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Processes
Our NHS Continuing Healthcare training helps nurses and organisations understand each step of the CHC pathway, from Checklist and MDT assessments to DST completion, recommendations, and panel decisions.
We equip professionals with the skills to apply national CHC frameworks correctly, interpret evidence, and advocate effectively for patients.
Whether you are new to CHC or seeking advanced refresher training, our programmes build confidence in eligibility decision-making, funding processes, and appeals.
Care Planning, Transitions & Community-Based Support
Effective CHC practice requires robust, person-centred care plans and safe transitions across settings.
Our training covers care planning for complex physical and mental health needs, Learning Disabilities (LD), autism, and community care packages.
We support nurses to coordinate safe hospital discharges, community transitions, and multidisciplinary input so that people receive the right care in the right place at the right time.
Expert CHC Consultancy & Case Support
In addition to training, the CHC Nurses Agency Network provides specialist consultancy for organisations, case managers, solicitors, and families needing expert support with CHC.
We can review cases, advise on evidence gathering, DST completion, funding disputes, and appeals, and help providers align their processes with national standards.
Our consultancy team brings together frontline CHC nursing experience and strategic insight to improve outcomes for both individuals and services.
Pre-Inspection & Quality Assurance for CHC and Community Services
Preparing for CQC inspections, quality reviews, or commissioning audits can be demanding for organisations delivering CHC-funded care.
We offer pre-inspection assessments that identify gaps in documentation, risk management, care planning, capacity and consent, and DoLS / LPS processes.
Our reports provide clear, practical action plans so providers can demonstrate robust, person-centred, and legally compliant CHC practice.
Learning Disabilities (LD), Autism & Complex Community Care Support
Many CHC-funded individuals live with Learning Disabilities, autism, and complex behavioural or health needs.
We support organisations and nurses to develop person-centred support plans, PBS-informed strategies, and risk management frameworks that promote dignity, independence, and safety.
Our consultancy ensures that CHC and community services are evidence-based, rights-focused, and fully aligned with current LD and autism best practice guidance.
CHC & Community DoLS / LPS Application Process Training
Navigating the CHC application process and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) / Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) can be complex and time-consuming.
Our training simplifies these processes, helping nurses and teams understand thresholds, assessments, documentation requirements, and legal responsibilities.
We focus on ensuring that people who lack capacity are supported in a lawful, proportionate, and person-centred way, while services remain fully compliant.
Workshops, Webinars & CHC Events for Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and face-to-face events, webinars, and workshops focused on CHC practice, case law, and policy updates.
These sessions offer opportunities to learn from experienced CHC practitioners, discuss complex cases, and network with specialist agency nurses.
Our events keep you updated on current CHC guidance, NHS changes, and best practice in complex community care.
Person-Centred Case Management & Complex Case Support
We provide person-centred case management support for individuals with complex CHC-funded needs, working alongside multidisciplinary teams, families, and providers.
Our team helps to coordinate holistic assessments, robust care planning, and ongoing review to ensure packages remain safe, sustainable, and responsive.
We also advise on risk management, safeguarding, and outcome-focused interventions tailored to each person’s goals and preferences.
Supporting Patients with Complex Health & Social Care Needs
From advanced neurological conditions and respiratory support to LD, autism, and behaviours that may challenge, we support complex CHC cases across community settings.
Our nurses and consultants work closely with families, providers, and commissioners to create joined-up, person-led care that maximises independence, safety, and quality of life.
Through collaborative working and clear communication, we help ensure that CHC-funded individuals receive consistent, high-quality care.
A Thriving Community for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Agency Nurses Network is more than a training and consultancy service – it is a supportive professional community where CHC agency nurses can connect, learn, and grow together.
We host private, invite-only social media groups where around 500 CHC agency nurses share professional issues, resources, and peer support 24/7, 365 days a year.
Many members build long-lasting friendships and professional relationships that enhance both their practice and their wellbeing.
