CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Nursing Consultancy & Professional Community

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Expert Training, Consultancy & Peer Support

In today’s demanding healthcare landscape, Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses and agency professionals need more than clinical skills – they need specialist guidance, robust peer support, and access to up-to-date CHC knowledge.
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated CHC nursing consultancy and professional community created by nurses, for nurses, to help you navigate complex CHC regulations while delivering safe, person-centred care.

We specialise in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) applications, CQC readiness, case management and learning disability support.
Through our consultancy services, tailored CHC training programmes and strong peer network of over 500 CHC agency nurses, we help you optimise service delivery, strengthen compliance and improve outcomes for the people you support.

Why Choose CHC Nurses Agency Network for CHC Training, Consultancy & Support?

CHC Nurses Agency Network combines front-line CHC nursing expertise with a collaborative community platform to support agency nurses, care providers and commissioners.
Our services are designed to simplify complex CHC processes, enhance regulatory compliance and reduce everyday pressures on busy nursing professionals.

We understand the challenges of delivering CHC within the framework of NHS guidelines, CQC standards and local authority expectations.
Whether you are an individual CHC agency nurse or an organisation using agency staff, our tailored approach ensures you are confident, compliant and well prepared for inspections, reviews and multi-disciplinary meetings.

A Supportive Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses

At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is a supportive community of specialist CHC agency nurses who understand the realities of the role – the pressures, responsibilities and daily decision-making that only another nurse can truly appreciate.

We offer a relaxed yet professional environment where members can:

Make valuable professional contacts and expand their CHC network
Share real-world experiences, challenges and solutions
Access peer support 24/7/365 through invite-only social media groups
Stay updated with policy changes, CHC frameworks and best practice
Develop long-term friendships and professional partnerships

Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals remain in regular contact through confidential social media groups, virtual meet-ups and in-person events, making life easier both professionally and personally.

Regular CHC Networking Events & Professional Development

We run regular CHC-focused events designed to bring our community together, share expertise and support ongoing professional development.
These include workshops, seminars, online sessions and informal meet-ups where nurses can learn, debrief and connect.

Our events help CHC agency nurses to:

Deepen their understanding of CHC eligibility, DSTs and reviews
Discuss complex case studies and decision-making
Explore career development pathways within CHC nursing
Network with commissioners, case managers and senior CHC clinicians

Many of our members join us initially for CHC training or consultancy support and stay for the strong sense of community and ongoing collaboration.

Pre-CQC Assessment & Compliance Support for CHC Services

Robust preparation is essential for successful CQC inspections, especially where CHC-funded individuals and complex care packages are involved.
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides pre-CQC assessment and consultancy to identify risks, close gaps and strengthen quality assurance.

Our CHC nurse consultants can:

Review policies, care plans and risk assessments related to CHC
Audit records, documentation and governance systems
Support CHC-funded care settings and providers using agency nurses
Advise on best practice for MDTs, reviews and safeguarding
Provide clear, actionable improvement plans before inspection

Our goal is to ensure that CHC-funded care is not only safe and person-centred but also clearly evidenced and inspection-ready.

Expertise in Care Transitions & Patient Safety

Transitions of care – particularly for CHC-eligible individuals – can be high risk if not managed robustly.
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist support for safe and coordinated transitions between hospital, home, nursing homes and other care settings.

Our CHC nurse consultants work with providers and agency staff to:

Develop individualised transition plans that prioritise safety and continuity
Support clear communication between MDTs, families and providers

Ensure funding, equipment and community services are in place
Promote person-centred outcomes and family satisfaction

By minimising disruption at these critical points, we help improve recovery, wellbeing and overall experience for CHC-funded individuals.

Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs

Many CHC-eligible individuals live with learning disabilities (LD), autism and complex behavioural needs.
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist support and consultancy for agency nurses and providers working in these areas.

We help teams to:

Develop person-centred care and support plans that promote independence and dignity
Implement positive behaviour support and least restrictive practice
Ensure compliance with Mental Capacity Act and Human Rights principles
Align practice with CHC frameworks, LD standards and best evidence
Work closely with families, advocates and multi-disciplinary teams

Our focus is always on improving quality of life, safety and long-term outcomes for the individuals at the centre of CHC-funded care.

Comprehensive CHC & Community DOL Application Process Training

Understanding the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community DOL applications can be challenging, especially for busy agency nurses.
CHC Nurses Agency Network provides structured CHC training that breaks down the process into clear, practical steps.

CHC eligibility criteria and how they are applied in practice
Completion of checklists, DSTs and review documentation
Community Deprivation of Liberty (DOL) application processes
Legal and ethical frameworks, including MCA and best interests
Effective multi-disciplinary working, advocacy and family liaison

Courses are delivered by experienced CHC nurse trainers who understand real-world pressures and decision-making, helping you build confidence and competence in every stage of the CHC pathway.
