CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Nurse Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Training, Consultancy and Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist hub for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare providers who want to deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care. We combine expert CHC training, specialist consultancy, and a thriving professional nurse community to support your practice, strengthen your compliance and make daily working life easier.
As any nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and emotional load that come with our profession. Our network is built and led by experienced CHC nurses who understand agency work, complex cases and the demands of CHC-funded care in community and care home settings.
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network was created to connect CHC agency nurses and provide them with the skills, knowledge and professional support needed to work confidently in complex healthcare environments. We help nurses and organisations stay aligned with NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, CQC requirements, and best practice in community-based care.
Our growing community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch via confidential, invite-only social media groups, regular events and peer support channels, sharing real-world challenges, solutions and resources 24/7/365.
Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers
Specialist CHC Training for Nurses
We deliver specialist training programmes tailored to CHC agency nurses and healthcare staff working with CHC-funded patients in the community and care homes. Our courses cover topics such as statutory and mandatory training, clinical skills, care planning, risk management, documentation, and effective communication with CHC teams.
Training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and clinical educators who understand the realities of agency work, complex packages and multidisciplinary working. We offer in-person workshops, seminars, and online learning modules to fit around agency shifts and provider needs.
Consultancy in CHC and Healthcare Practices
Our consultancy services support care providers, case managers and CHC nursing teams with audit preparation, policy development, documentation improvement and quality assurance specific to CHC-funded care. We help you understand and align with NHS CHC frameworks and CQC expectations.
We specialise in pre-CQC assessments and service readiness reviews, ensuring your policies, care plans and records reflect current standards. Our consultancy is tailored to your service, helping you improve compliance, reduce risk and demonstrate robust governance around CHC packages.
Support with Healthcare Transitions, CHC Pathways & Compliance
Transitions in CHC and Community Healthcare
Transitions such as hospital discharge into CHC-funded community care can be complex and high-risk for both patients and providers. The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides guidance, training and consultancy to help nurses and organisations manage these transitions safely.
We support the development of person-centred care plans, robust handover processes and clear multi-agency coordination, helping to reduce avoidable readmissions and promote continuity of care across settings.
Pre-CQC Quality & Compliance Support
CQC inspections are a key part of maintaining high standards in CHC-funded and community services. We provide pre-CQC quality reviews focusing on documentation, training records, care planning, safeguarding and governance relevant to CHC packages.
Our findings are presented as clear, actionable feedback, enabling you to address gaps, strengthen your processes and demonstrate safe, well-led care to regulators and commissioners.
Learning Disability (LD) Support Within CHC & Community Care
Person-Centred LD Care & Support Plans
Many CHC-funded and complex care packages involve individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism or other neurodevelopmental conditions. We support nurses and providers to create person-centred LD care plans that promote independence, dignity, choice and safety.
Our network shares evidence-based practice, tools and resources for daily living support, communication, positive behaviour support and social inclusion, helping teams to deliver truly personalised LD care in community settings.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoLS Training
CHC Learning and Development
We provide Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training for nurses, care staff and managers at all levels, covering CHC eligibility, checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), funding processes and care planning for CHC-funded individuals.
Using real-life case studies and current national guidance, our CHC training builds knowledge, confidence and compliance in managing CHC assessments, reviews and ongoing care responsibilities.
Community DoLS (DOL) Application Support
We also support providers and nurses with Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) in the community, including Community DoL applications and best interests processes. Our guidance helps ensure that restrictions are lawful, proportionate and clearly documented.
Through training and consultancy, we help teams understand legal frameworks, complete applications effectively and demonstrate best practice in protecting the rights and freedoms of people lacking capacity.
Events, Networking & Community Learning for CHC Nurses
Regular Events for CHC Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events to bring our community of CHC agency nurses together, both online and in person. These include workshops, webinars, networking meet-ups and peer discussion sessions focused on CHC practice and professional wellbeing.
Most nurses in our network keep in touch regularly, and many go on to build long-term friendships and peer support relationships that last for years. Our events offer a space to share experiences, troubleshoot challenges and stay up to date with CHC policy and practice changes.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
We welcome new members into our private, invite-only social media groups, where CHC agency nurses can discuss clinical questions, professional issues, shift experiences and career development in a confidential environment.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals openly share professional insights and support each other 24-7-365, helping to reduce isolation in agency work and promote continuous learning.
Expert Case Management & Complex Care Coordination
Person-Centred Case Management
We offer case management support for complex and CHC-funded packages, focusing on person-centred planning, risk assessment, goal setting and outcome-focused reviews. Our approach ensures that care is aligned with the individual’s needs, preferences and legal rights.
Our experienced case managers and CHC nurses work closely with families, providers, commissioners and multidisciplinary teams to coordinate care, optimise resources and streamline communication between agencies.
Supporting Healthcare Teams & Agency Staff
We support healthcare teams and agency staff to understand and implement best practice in complex case management, including legal frameworks, safeguarding, capacity and consent, and clinical governance.
Through targeted training and consultancy, we help services improve efficiency, documentation quality and patient outcomes, whilst ensuring that staff feel supported and confident in their roles.
