CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist Support for Continuing Healthcare Nurses & Providers
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Training, Consultancy & Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, care providers and commissioners who want to deliver safe, compliant and person‑centred care. We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy and a strong peer network to help you navigate complex funding, assessment and regulatory frameworks with confidence.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network recognises the real pressures of frontline practice. We provide structured education, pre‑CQC support, personalised case management consultancy and community learning, so that CHC professionals can improve outcomes for adults with complex needs while maintaining regulatory compliance and professional wellbeing.
Who We Are: A Dedicated Network for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a professional community of more than 500 CHC agency nurses and healthcare specialists connected through confidential, invite‑only social media groups and regular live events. Our goal is to support your career in Continuing Healthcare while making day‑to‑day practice easier, safer and more sustainable.
We offer a relaxed, supportive environment where only another nurse truly understands the pressures of nursing. Many members form long‑lasting friendships, collaborate on complex CHC cases and share resources, making the network a powerful source of both professional and personal support.
New members are warmly welcomed into our private online groups, webinars, workshops and networking events, with 24‑7‑365 access to shared expertise, guidance and peer support.
Our Core Services: CHC Training, Consultancy & Professional Support
1. Transitions in Healthcare: Safe CHC Pathways Across Care Settings
Complex CHC patients often move between hospital, community, residential and home‑based care, which can create risk and confusion if transitions are not well managed. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides structured guidance to support safe, efficient and compliant transitions in care for adults eligible for Continuing Healthcare.
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants help agency staff and providers build clear, documented transition plans that protect continuity of care, minimise clinical risk and reduce avoidable hospital readmissions.
Customised Transition Planning for CHC Patients
We work with nurses, case managers and providers to design individualised transition plans that address medical needs, equipment, community services, communication pathways and family involvement, ensuring every move between settings is coordinated and patient‑centred.
2. Pre‑CQC Assessments for CHC Services: Prepare for Inspection with Confidence
Regulatory compliance is central to safe Continuing Healthcare delivery. Our team conducts detailed pre‑CQC (Care Quality Commission) readiness assessments for CHC‑related services, including agency‑supplied CHC packages, complex care providers and community services.
We review policies, CHC documentation, risk assessments, care plans, governance frameworks and staff competencies, giving you a clear picture of your current performance against CQC standards and CHC best practice.
Assessment, Gap Analysis & Actionable Recommendations
Following a structured review, you receive a practical improvement plan with clear priorities, sample templates and guidance so your team can strengthen quality, safety and responsiveness before CQC inspection day.
3. Supporting Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD) in CHC
Many adults with Learning Disabilities (LD) have complex health and behavioural needs that sit within CHC eligibility. We help CHC nurses and providers to create robust, person‑centred care and support plans that respect rights, choice and independence.
Our network shares evidence‑based strategies for risk management, communication, positive behaviour support, capacity assessments and best‑interest decision‑making in line with the Mental Capacity Act and CHC frameworks.
Person‑Centred LD Planning within CHC Frameworks
We promote approaches that centre the individual’s preferences and goals, while maintaining strong safeguarding and clinical governance, so people with LD in CHC receive safe, dignified and meaningful support.
4. Specialised CHC Training & Community DoLS / DoL Application Support
Understanding CHC processes and legal frameworks is critical for agency nurses and providers. We deliver specialist CHC training programmes covering eligibility, assessments, reviews, appeals and commissioning, as well as Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS / DoL) application support.
Our courses are built and delivered by experienced CHC nurses and consultants, translating complex policy into practical, real‑world skills that you can apply immediately in complex care settings.

- Writing robust, defensible clinical rationales for CHC assessments
