CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Nursing Consultancy, Training & Community Support

Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK

CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based specialist nursing consultancy and training provider dedicated to Continuing Healthcare (CHC) professionals and agency nurses. We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and a thriving professional network to help nurses deliver safer, compliant and person-centred care in all settings.

Built by nurses, for nurses, our network understands the pressures of modern nursing, especially within CHC, community care and complex case management. We support agency nurses and healthcare organisations at every stage — from CHC eligibility assessments and care planning to CQC readiness, learning disability support and care transitions.

Specialist Training for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Professionals

Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training Courses

Our Continuing Healthcare training programmes give nurses, case managers and multidisciplinary teams a clear, practical understanding of:

CHC eligibility assessments and the National Framework
Decision Support Tool (DST) completion and best practice
Care planning for complex health needs
Funding mechanisms and commissioning processes

Delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants, our courses focus on real-world application, legal and regulatory compliance, and documentation standards that stand up to scrutiny. Whether you are new to CHC or need an advanced refresher, we help you feel confident and competent in CHC practice.

Training on Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) Applications

We offer focused training on the Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) application process in community settings, helping nurses and providers to:

Understand current MCA and DoLS/Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) requirements
Accurately complete and submit DoL applications
Reduce delays and minimise avoidable errors
Protect patients’ rights, safety and best interests

This training supports agency nurses, CHC teams and care providers to streamline access to appropriate community support and funding while maintaining legal compliance.

Case Management and Person-Centred Care Planning

Developing Safe, Person-Centred Care Plans

Our courses on case management and care planning teach nurses how to create robust, person-centred care plans for individuals with complex and continuing healthcare needs. We cover:

Holistic assessment of clinical, emotional and social needs
Goal-setting and outcome-focused planning
Risk assessment and risk management strategies
Accurate, defensible documentation and review processes

Effective care planning not only improves patient outcomes and experience, but also supports CQC compliance, CHC defensibility and professional accountability.

Managing Care Transitions Safely

Transitions between hospital, community, care homes and home care can be particularly risky for CHC-funded patients. Our training on care transitions helps agency nurses and organisations to:

Coordinate multi-agency handovers and communication
Maintain continuity of care and medication safety
Reduce avoidable readmissions and incidents
Support patients and families during periods of change

This focus on safe, structured transitions supports better outcomes, higher satisfaction and more resilient care pathways.

Expert Consultancy for CHC Providers and Healthcare Organisations

Pre-CQC Assessments and Inspection Readiness

Review your policies, procedures and clinical governance
Assess documentation, care plans and risk assessments

Provide actionable recommendations to raise standards

Our structured feedback and improvement plans support services to strengthen compliance, quality and safety before official inspections take place.

Reduce restrictive practices and unnecessary admissions
Improve environmental and safeguarding standards

Our focus is always on safe, person-led support that improves quality of life and long-term outcomes.
