Specialist Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Providers
Seamless Patient Transitions in Continuing Healthcare
Transitions between care settings – such as hospital to home, home to nursing home, or changes in funded care packages – are critical for CHC patients and their families.
Our network of experienced CHC nurses supports providers in planning and implementing safe, person-centred transitions that protect continuity of care, minimise risk and optimise outcomes for people with complex needs.
Pre-CQC Assessment and CHC Service Readiness
Preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections can be challenging for organisations delivering CHC and complex care services.
Through our consultancy network, we offer pre-CQC assessment support, policy and documentation reviews, and practical guidance to help you evidence safe, effective, person-centred CHC practice.
Personalised Learning Disability and Complex Needs Care Planning
Many CHC-funded individuals live with learning disabilities, autism and other complex long-term conditions that require highly personalised care and support planning.
Our CHC nurses collaborate with families, commissioners and multidisciplinary teams to develop person-centred care plans that reflect daily living needs, clinical requirements, communication preferences and individual goals.
CHC Training and Professional Development
CHC Eligibility, DST & Community DoLS Application Training
Understanding NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) processes and Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) applications is essential for nurses working in complex care.
We provide focused CHC training that covers eligibility frameworks, evidence gathering, documentation, multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meetings, appeal processes and Community DoLS applications, tailored to agency and CHC nurses.
Benefits of CHC Nurses Agency Network Training
- Clear understanding of National Framework CHC criteria and processes
- Greater confidence in completing DSTs and contributing to MDT decisions
- Improved quality of documentation and clinical evidence for CHC funding
- Better awareness of legal and regulatory responsibilities in CHC and DoLS
- Enhanced capacity to advocate for patients and deliver person-centred care
Regular Events, Webinars and Peer Learning
We host regular online events, webinars, case discussions and informal meet-ups to keep CHC nurses up to date with best practice, policy changes and real-world case studies.
Our events are designed to be practical, interactive and supportive, helping nurses build confidence, share knowledge and expand their professional network within the CHC field.
