Why Join CHC Nurses Agency Network?
Experienced CHC Specialists
Our network is made up of nurses with extensive experience in Continuing Healthcare, complex community care, case management and multidisciplinary working across the UK.
This real-world expertise ensures that both our training and consultancy are practical, relevant and immediately applicable in your daily work.
Genuine Peer Community for Agency Nurses
Only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibility and stress that come with clinical work—especially as an agency nurse working across different settings.
We create a safe, relaxed space where you can connect with like-minded professionals, discuss challenges openly and get support from people who understand your role.
Focus on CHC Compliance & Best Practice
We help nurses and organisations navigate the complexities of CHC frameworks, CQC requirements and local policies, reducing the risk of non-compliance.
With clear, evidence-based guidance, we support you to deliver safe, high-quality care while maintaining robust documentation and defensible decision-making.
Ongoing Professional Development
Our regular events, workshops and online discussions help nurses continuously build knowledge around CHC, community DoLS, safeguarding and person-centred care planning.
This commitment to lifelong learning supports your revalidation, enhances your CV and opens up specialist CHC career opportunities.
Training Programmes from CHC Nurses Agency Network
CHC Assessment, Eligibility & Community DoLS Training
We deliver comprehensive training on the CHC assessment process, Decision Support Tool (DST), eligibility criteria, funding pathways and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) application processes.
Our sessions are led by experienced CHC practitioners and are designed to improve your clinical reasoning, documentation and understanding of legal frameworks.
Transitions, Discharge & Complex Care Planning
We provide guidance on safe hospital-to-home transitions, step-down pathways and movement between care settings for CHC-funded individuals.
Training focuses on creating robust, person-centred care and transition plans that prioritise safety, continuity of care and clear communication between teams.
Pre-CQC Inspection Readiness for CHC Services
We support organisations and teams to prepare for CQC inspections, with a particular focus on CHC and complex community care services.
Our review process highlights strengths, pinpoints gaps and provides clear, actionable recommendations to demonstrate compliance and high-quality care.
Learning Disability (LD) & Complex Needs Care Planning
We offer training in developing person-centred support plans for people with learning disabilities and complex care needs who may be CHC-funded.
Our approach emphasises independence, dignity, communication, reasonable adjustments and collaborative working with families and multi-disciplinary teams.
Consultancy Services for CHC & Complex Care Providers
Pre-CQC & Quality Assurance Reviews
We review policies, care records, risk assessments and governance processes to ensure they align with CQC Key Lines of Enquiry and CHC expectations.
Following our assessment, you receive a detailed report with prioritised recommendations to strengthen quality and safety.
CHC Case Management & Review Support
We help organisations and teams structure and coordinate CHC cases effectively, including reviews, appeals and complex care packages.
Our guidance improves communication, reduces delays and supports better outcomes for individuals and their families.
Support with Complex Transitions
We advise on planning and managing complex transitions, such as discharge from hospital to home, moves between providers or escalating care needs.
This reduces risk, prevents breakdown in placements and improves patient and family experience.
Person-Centred Care Planning for Learning Disabilities
We work with providers, nurses and families to design detailed, person-centred plans for individuals with learning disabilities and CHC-funded complex needs.
Our approach ensures that support plans are practical, respectful, legally robust and aligned with best practice guidance.
Our CHC Agency Nurse Community & Events
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider—it is a supportive professional community designed to make agency nursing more connected and sustainable.
We run regular online and in-person events to bring nurses together, share CHC updates, discuss real-world cases (confidentially) and build strong professional relationships.
New members are welcomed into our private, invite-only social media groups where professional issues, clinical questions and work opportunities are shared openly and respectfully all year round.
Many nurses in our network form lasting friendships, informal mentoring relationships and collaborative working links that continue for years.
