Core CHC Consultancy & Support Services
Transitions in Healthcare: Seamless CHC & Community Care Pathways
Supporting Safe, Smooth Transitions of Care
We understand that care transitions – from hospital to home, from one provider to another, or from local authority funding to CHC – are critical moments that directly affect patient safety, outcomes and satisfaction.
Our CHC specialists support nurses, case managers and providers to design and deliver safe, coordinated discharge and transition plans that minimise risks, delays and readmissions.
Person-Centred Transition Planning
Each transition plan is carefully tailored to the individual, taking into account their clinical needs, social circumstances and legal frameworks such as Mental Capacity and DoLS where relevant.
By prioritising continuity of care and effective multi-agency communication, we help teams reduce avoidable hospital admissions and create smoother, more positive journeys for patients and families.
Pre-CQC Assessments for CHC & Community Services
Independent CQC Readiness Reviews
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers independent pre-CQC assessments for community, domiciliary, CHC and complex care providers who want to improve compliance and inspection outcomes.
We review policies, procedures, care records and day-to-day practice against CQC’s key questions (Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led) with a specific focus on CHC-related care pathways.
Clear Action Plans to Improve Quality & Compliance
Following our assessment, you receive a practical, prioritised action plan to strengthen governance, improve documentation and embed safer clinical practice.
Our aim is to give your team the confidence, evidence and systems they need to demonstrate high-quality, person-centred care during CQC inspections and CHC reviews.
Learning Disabilities Care & Complex Needs Support Planning
Person-Centred LD & CHC Support Plans
Many individuals with learning disabilities (LD) and autism receive or are eligible for CHC funding due to complex health needs.
We support nurses and providers to create person-centred care and support plans that promote independence, dignity, communication and meaningful choice for people with LD and complex needs.
Holistic, Evidence-Based Practice
Our approach looks beyond basic care tasks, covering physical health, mental health, behaviour support, communication, social participation and risk management.
Using current best practice and legal frameworks, we help teams design safe, respectful and enabling environments that genuinely improve quality of life for people with learning disabilities.
Specialist CHC Training & Workshops for Nurses
CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Building CHC Knowledge, Skills & Confidence
Our CHC and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) training is designed for nurses, case managers and frontline staff who need a clearer, more confident understanding of CHC eligibility, funding and legal safeguards.
Led by experienced CHC clinicians, our sessions demystify the CHC checklist, decision support tool (DST), multi-disciplinary team (MDT) processes and community DoLS authorisation pathways.
Ensuring Compliance and Safe Decision-Making
By the end of the training, participants are better equipped to make legally robust, person-centred decisions, document assessments clearly and advocate effectively for patients and families.
Our courses support both beginners and experienced CHC professionals looking to refresh their knowledge and stay compliant with evolving guidance.
CHC-Focused Events, Webinars & Networking
Stay Up-to-Date with CHC Policy & Practice
We run regular CHC events – including workshops, webinars, seminars and informal meetups – to keep our network informed about policy changes, case law, best practice and practical challenges in Continuing Healthcare.
Events are designed to be interactive, real-world and nurse-led, allowing members to discuss real cases, share solutions and ask questions in a supportive environment.
Build Your Professional CHC Network
Through our events and invite-only social media groups, CHC agency nurses connect with like-minded professionals across the UK.
Many members go on to form long-term friendships, mentorships and professional collaborations that support them throughout their CHC careers.
Expert Case Discussion & Peer Case Management Support
Collaborative, Person-Centred Case Support
While we are not a direct clinical provider, our network offers a unique space for nurses to bring anonymised complex cases for discussion, reflection and peer review.
Members share insights on care planning, risk management, safeguarding concerns and multi-agency coordination, helping each other to strengthen their case management skills.
Improving Outcomes Through Shared Expertise
By pooling experience from hundreds of CHC and agency nurses, our community helps you spot gaps, refine documentation, anticipate challenges and deliver safer, more effective care.
This collective knowledge base supports better outcomes for patients and more confident decision-making for professionals.
The CHC Agency Nurses Network Community
A Safe Space Where Nurses Truly Understand Each Other
Only another nurse understands the emotional and physical demands of CHC and community nursing – the long shifts, complex decisions and daily exposure to risk and responsibility.
Our private, moderated social media groups offer a safe, confidential space to share professional issues, seek advice and debrief with people who genuinely “get it”.
24/7 Professional Support & Discussion
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays connected 24/7/365 through several invite-only, confidential online groups.
Members openly discuss clinical queries, policy changes, documentation challenges, agency work issues and career development – always with a focus on safe, ethical and legally compliant practice.
Long-Term Friendships & Career Development
Many nurses who join CHC Nurses Agency Network build lasting friendships and professional relationships that support them throughout their careers.
From informal mentoring and shadowing opportunities to signposting, job leads and joint projects, our community actively helps you grow and progress in CHC and beyond.
