Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community with CHC Nurses Agency Network
Empowering CHC Nurses, Agency Nurses and Healthcare Providers Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist community and consultancy service for nurses and healthcare organisations involved in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community nursing and complex care. We combine expert CHC training, practical consultancy and a strong peer network to help nurses deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care.
Our mission is to support CHC agency nurses, independent nurses and healthcare providers with the knowledge, confidence and connections they need to provide outstanding patient care and navigate complex funding and regulatory pathways. From CHC eligibility assessments to CQC readiness and care transitions, we are here to help you raise standards and build your professional career.
Alongside our consultancy services, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a place to relax, share experiences and connect with other CHC professionals. Our active network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stay in touch 24/7/365 through private, invite-only social media groups and regular in-person and online events.
CHC Training & Consultancy for Healthcare Professionals
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoLS Training
Our specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training is designed for nurses, agency nurses and healthcare teams who want a clear, practical understanding of CHC eligibility, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, funding processes and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications.
Delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants, our courses cover the full CHC pathway, including checklists, assessment preparation, evidence gathering, care planning and appeals, so you can work confidently within national frameworks while protecting patient rights and ensuring robust documentation.
Whether you are new to CHC or looking to deepen your expertise, our CHC training supports clinical effectiveness, compliance and career progression for agency nurses and permanent staff alike.
Pre-CQC Assessments & Organisational Readiness
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be challenging, particularly for services delivering CHC-funded or complex community care. Our pre-CQC assessment service helps you identify gaps and strengthen your evidence before an inspection.
Our specialist nurses review your policies, procedures, risk assessments, documentation and care plans against current CQC requirements, with a focus on safety, effectiveness, responsiveness, leadership and person-centred care. You receive clear, actionable recommendations to improve compliance and demonstrate high-quality practice.
We support domiciliary care providers, CHC agencies, complex care packages and community services to feel prepared, confident and inspection-ready.
Learning Disability (LD) Care & Person-Centred Support Plans
Providing high-quality care to individuals with a Learning Disability (LD) and complex needs requires tailored, person-centred planning. CHC Nurses Agency Network supports providers and nurses to develop holistic LD care and support plans that promote independence, safety and dignity.
Our LD-focused consultancy uses evidence-based approaches and positive behaviour support principles to create plans that cover daily living support, communication needs, physical and mental health needs and risk management, while maximising quality of life and choice.
We work closely with families, multidisciplinary teams and support staff to ensure that each plan is practical, person-led and outcome-focused.
Expert CHC Consulting & Case Management Support
Safe Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Care Packages
Transitions such as hospital discharge to home, moving between providers, or stepping up/down levels of care can be high risk for CHC-funded and complex patients. Our nurses provide expert transition planning support to keep patients safe and ensure continuity of care.
We develop structured, individualised transition plans that include communication pathways, medication safety, equipment and staffing needs and clear escalation processes, helping providers reduce avoidable readmissions and safeguarding concerns.
By coordinating with multidisciplinary teams, families and agencies, we support smooth, well-managed transitions across care settings.
Case Management & Advocacy for CHC Patients
Effective CHC case management is key to ensuring that individuals with complex needs receive coordinated, person-centred care that truly reflects their needs and wishes. Our nurse consultants provide case management and advocacy support for CHC-funded patients and their families.
We help with care planning, CHC reviews, evidence gathering, multi-agency coordination and dispute resolution, while keeping the person and their outcomes at the centre of every decision.
Our approach supports better clinical outcomes, improved quality of life and a more equitable CHC process for vulnerable individuals.
Hosting & Participating in CHC Events, Workshops & Webinars
To keep our community of nurses and providers updated, the CHC Nurses Agency Network regularly hosts and participates in CHC-focused events, webinars, workshops and networking sessions across the UK.
These events cover topics such as CHC policy changes, best practice in documentation, appeals and disputes, complex case studies and professional development for agency nurses. Sessions are practical, interactive and designed to turn theory into everyday practice.
Members of our network gain access to exclusive events and a supportive environment where they can ask questions, share experiences and build long-term professional relationships.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network Community
A Supportive Space for CHC & Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a community built by nurses, for nurses. We understand the realities of nursing, including the intensity, responsibility and emotional impact of working with complex patients and CHC processes.
Our network offers a safe, confidential space where nurses can relax, debrief, share challenges and celebrate successes with others who truly understand their work.
Private Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
We host several invite-only social media groups with around 500 active CHC agency nurses and professionals, providing 24/7 access to peer support, advice and shared resources.
Members openly discuss professional issues, CHC queries, case discussions (respecting confidentiality), job opportunities and practical tips for working in CHC-funded and complex care environments.
Many of our members form long-term friendships and professional networks that support them throughout their careers.
Regular Networking Events for CHC Agency Nurses
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together, including study days, peer supervision groups, informal meetups and topic-based discussions.
These events are designed to help nurses build confidence, share best practice, develop professionally and feel less isolated in their roles, particularly for those working as agency or independent nurses.
New members are always welcome, and we encourage all CHC nurses to join our private groups and events to strengthen their practice and support network.
