CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Support & Consultancy for Nurses
A Professional Network for CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated community and consultancy service for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses, care managers and healthcare providers across the UK.
We bring CHC professionals together to share knowledge, access specialist CHC training, and receive expert support with complex casework, funding processes and regulatory compliance – all while building genuine peer relationships that last for years.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals collaborates daily through confidential, invite-only social media groups, regular events and tailored consultancy services to improve outcomes for patients, families and organisations.
Comprehensive CHC Training & Support for Agency Nurses
Specialist CHC Courses to Improve Patient Outcomes
We provide continuing professional development (CPD) and practical training for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare, community care and agency roles, helping you navigate complex pathways with confidence.
Our courses cover CHC eligibility assessments, fast-track processes, care planning, appeals, community transitions and documentation standards, ensuring you can deliver safe, effective and defensible care in line with UK frameworks.
Every session is delivered by experienced CHC professionals, focusing on real-world scenarios, clinical reasoning and professional accountability so you leave with actionable tools you can apply on your next shift.
CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training
Our targeted training on the Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) application processes helps agency nurses and case managers handle complex funding and legal frameworks with ease.
You will learn how to complete robust Decision Support Tools (DSTs), understand local authority vs NHS responsibilities, prepare high-quality evidence and submit accurate applications that minimise delays and disputes.
Whether you are new to CHC or experienced but seeking an update, our hands-on approach increases confidence, reduces errors and supports patients to access the most appropriate funding and care packages in the community.
Consultancy & Case Management Services by CHC Nurses Agency Network
Transitions in Care & Hospital Discharge Planning
Supporting Safe, Seamless Patient Transfers
Transitions between hospital, home and community settings are a high-risk time for patients and a major pressure point for agency nurses and providers.
Our consultancy team offers expert guidance on discharge planning, step-down pathways and community transitions, designing person-centred plans that prioritise safety, continuity and choice.
By coordinating multi-disciplinary input and clarifying roles and responsibilities, we help reduce avoidable readmissions, missed visits and breakdowns in care – improving outcomes and patient satisfaction.
Pre-CQC Readiness & Quality Improvement Support
Preparing Providers & Teams for Inspection
We support care providers, agency teams and CHC services with pre-CQC readiness reviews, focusing on quality, governance and person-centred practice.
Our specialists review policies, procedures, care records and training compliance to identify strengths, gaps and risks relating to the Care Quality Commission (CQC) key lines of enquiry.
With clear, practical action plans and ongoing coaching, we help you strengthen quality assurance processes so your service is inspection-ready and aligned with best practice at all times.
Learning Disabilities (LD) & Complex Needs Care Planning
Person-Centred Plans Promoting Independence & Dignity
Our CHC and LD specialists develop and review individualised care and support plans for people with Learning Disabilities and complex needs, ensuring that care is rights-based, person-led and safe.
We work closely with families, advocates, providers and multi-disciplinary teams to embed positive behaviour support, communication strategies and risk management in everyday practice.
Using evidence-based approaches, we focus on enabling people to live as independently as possible while maintaining dignity, choice and control in all aspects of their care.
Specialist CHC Case Management
Person-Centred Coordination for Complex CHC Cases
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist case management for complex Continuing Healthcare packages where robust coordination is essential.
Our case managers bring together multi-agency teams, align clinical and social goals, and monitor outcomes to ensure care remains appropriate, cost-effective and person-centred over time.
We focus on clear communication, risk management, capacity and consent, ensuring that every decision is well-documented and defensible, in line with national CHC frameworks and local policies.
