CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Nursing Support, Training & Community

Expert CHC Nurses, Consultancy and Training for Better Continuing Healthcare Outcomes

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community of experienced Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nurses providing expert CHC training, consultancy, case management and peer support to healthcare professionals and organisations across the UK.

Built by CHC nurses, for CHC nurses, we combine clinical expertise, regulatory knowledge and real-world experience to help providers improve patient outcomes, strengthen compliance with NHS CHC frameworks and CQC standards, and navigate complex CHC processes with confidence.

Alongside our professional services, we host a vibrant private CHC nurses network where over 500 agency CHC professionals connect, share best practice, and support each other 24/7 through invite-only social media groups and regular events.

Who We Are – A Connected Network of CHC Agency Nurses

Community, Support and Professional Growth

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a supportive professional community where CHC nurses can relax, connect and grow their careers.

As every nurse knows, only another nurse truly understands the daily pressures, emotional demands and complexity of the job. Our network offers a safe, confidential space to discuss professional issues, share experiences, and seek advice from peers who genuinely understand Continuing Healthcare.

We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nurse community together. Many members build lasting friendships and remain connected for years, making the network a trusted space for both professional development and personal support.

New members are welcome to join our private social media groups, educational sessions and networking events, where over 500 CHC agency nurses share insights, opportunities and resources around the clock.

Our Core CHC Services

1. Transitions in Healthcare

Supporting Seamless Patient Transfers in CHC Pathways

Transitions between care settings can be high-risk for patients, families and providers, especially where Continuing Healthcare funding and complex needs are involved. The CHC Nurses Agency Network supports organisations to manage safe, seamless transitions between hospital, community, home and specialist placements.

Our CHC specialist nurses develop personalised transition plans that maintain continuity of care, clarify funding responsibilities, and support collaborative working between multidisciplinary teams and families.

Improving Safety and Outcomes During Transitions

Using evidence-based practice and robust communication frameworks, we help reduce disruption, avoid delays, and minimise clinical and safeguarding risks during transfers of care.

This approach improves patient and family experience, safety, and long-term outcomes, while also supporting organisations to meet governance, documentation and regulatory expectations.

2. Pre-CQC & Quality Assessment Support

Preparing CHC Providers and Services for Inspection

For services delivering CHC-funded care, CQC compliance and quality assurance are critical. Our team carries out pre-CQC assessments and internal quality reviews tailored to CHC and complex care services.

We review policies, documentation, risk management, capacity and consent processes, safeguarding practice and care delivery systems against CQC key lines of enquiry (KLOEs) and relevant legislation.

Targeted Strategies to Strengthen Compliance

Following assessment, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to close gaps, enhance governance and strengthen evidence of good and outstanding practice.

Our consultancy helps organisations develop robust systems, staff training and audit processes to maintain ongoing compliance and readiness for inspection.

3. Person-Centred Care for Learning Disabilities & Autism

Specialist CHC Support Planning

The CHC Nurses Agency Network has extensive experience in Learning Disabilities (LD) and Autism within CHC settings. We support services to develop person-centred care and support plans for individuals with complex needs.

Working closely with families, advocates and multidisciplinary teams, we ensure each plan reflects the individual’s health, communication, sensory, behavioural and emotional needs, promoting independence and dignity.

Improving Quality of Life for People with LD and Autism

Our approach draws on Positive Behaviour Support (PBS), trauma-informed care and best-practice guidelines to promote meaningful engagement, safety and quality of life.

We help teams embed least restrictive practice, human rights principles and personalised outcomes into day-to-day care, supporting better experiences for individuals and families.

Training and Education for CHC Professionals

4. CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training

Building Skills and Confidence in CHC Practice

Our specialist training programmes enhance healthcare professionals’ understanding of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), Funded Nursing Care (FNC) and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS).

Delivered by highly experienced CHC nurses, our sessions cover eligibility criteria, CHC checklists, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), care planning, funding pathways, capacity assessments and DoLS applications.

Practical, Real-World CHC Learning

Training is designed to be practical, case-based and easy to apply in real clinical environments, supporting both new and experienced staff.

Participants leave with greater confidence in completing CHC assessments, documentation and Community DoLS processes, reducing errors and improving compliance with legal frameworks.

5. CHC Events, Workshops and Networking

Stay Up to Date with CHC Policy and Best Practice

The CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly hosts online webinars, in-person workshops and networking events focused on CHC, complex care and community nursing.

These events keep professionals informed about policy updates, Integrated Care Board (ICB) processes, case law, safeguarding guidance and evolving best practice relevant to CHC.

Connect with a National Community of CHC Nurses

By attending our events, CHC nurses and healthcare leaders can share experiences, discuss complex cases and build valuable professional relationships with peers across the UK.

Many nurses use the network to discover new roles, agency opportunities, mentoring relationships and collaboration projects.

6. Expert CHC Case Management & Complex Care Coordination

Person-Centred CHC Case Management

Our experienced CHC case managers support individuals with complex physical, mental health, neurological, LD and palliative care needs who receive, or may be eligible for, CHC funding.

We coordinate multidisciplinary input, personalised care planning and regular reviews to ensure care is safe, appropriate, and aligned with the person’s wishes and goals.

Coordinating Complex Care Across Multiple Providers

We help families and services navigate ICB processes, care package changes and provider coordination, ensuring continuity of care when circumstances change.

Our focus is on optimising resources, supporting legal and regulatory compliance, and enhancing quality of life for each individual in CHC-funded care.
