What We Do for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Organisations
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses
We offer comprehensive CHC training programmes designed specifically for agency nurses and multidisciplinary teams involved in continuing healthcare. Our courses cover:
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework

- Evidence‑based documentation and multidisciplinary working
- Complex care planning and risk management in community settings
- Best practice in communication with CCGs/ICBs, families and providers
All training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and consultants who work actively in the sector, ensuring every session is practical, up‑to‑date and aligned with current policy. Training can be delivered online, face‑to‑face, or blended to suit your staffing and rota needs.
CHC Consultancy for Providers, Agencies & Case Management Teams
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides bespoke consultancy to support organisations involved in CHC delivery and commissioning. We help you to:
- Improve CHC assessment quality and decision‑making processes

Our consultants bring frontline CHC experience, regulatory insight and practical tools to help you enhance compliance, safety and patient outcomes.
Pre‑Inspection & Compliance Support (Including CQC‑Related Preparation)
Preparing for inspections can be challenging, especially for services delivering complex CHC packages. We provide:
- Pre‑inspection audits of policies, care plans and clinical records
- Review of CHC‑related documentation, escalation processes and governance
- Gap analysis against regulatory and best‑practice expectations
- Action plans with clear, achievable recommendations for improvement
Our aim is to help services demonstrate safe, effective CHC practice and to build staff confidence ahead of inspections and external reviews.
Transitions in Care: Safe Discharge & Community CHC Support
Transitions between hospital, home and community settings are critical points for patients with ongoing CHC needs. CHC Nurses Agency Network supports providers and case managers to:
- Plan safe hospital discharge for CHC‑funded individuals
- Coordinate with community nursing, therapy and social care teams
- Develop clear, person‑centred transition and contingency plans
- Reduce avoidable readmissions and breakdowns in care packages
Our nurses prioritise continuity, safety and patient experience, ensuring every transition is well‑planned, well‑led and well‑documented.
Person‑Centred Support Planning for People with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC packages relate to learning disabilities, autism and complex behaviours. We specialise in creating and reviewing:
- Person‑centred care and support plans that promote choice and independence
- Positive behaviour support strategies and risk management plans
- Communication‑friendly documentation and family‑inclusive approaches
- Staff training plans to support consistent, respectful care
We work collaboratively with families, support workers, agencies and MDTs so that individuals receive compassionate, dignified and evidence‑based care.
A Dedicated Community for CHC Agency Nurses
A Safe Space to Connect, Share & De‑Stress
Only another nurse truly understands the pressure, responsibility and emotional load that comes with CHC and agency work. Our CHC Agency Nurses Network offers a welcoming, confidential space where you can:
- Connect with CHC nurses who understand your day‑to‑day challenges

- De‑brief safely after difficult shifts and complex cases
- Find peer support around work‑life balance, wellbeing and resilience
Many nurses in our community form long‑term friendships and mentoring relationships, staying in touch and supporting each other for years.

- Real‑time updates on CHC practice, policies and local pathways
- Job opportunities and agency shifts in CHC and complex care
- Practical tips, templates and resources for documentation

These groups are moderated to maintain professional standards, confidentiality and a supportive tone at all times.
