CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community
Expert CHC Nursing Support, Compliance Guidance & a Strong Professional Network
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for agency nurses, healthcare professionals and care providers working within NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and community settings across the UK.
We combine specialist CHC training, consultancy services and a thriving professional community of over 500 CHC agency nurses to help you deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care while advancing your career and confidence in complex care.
From transitions of care and pre-CQC support to Learning Disability care planning, CHC & community DoLS training and expert case management, we offer end-to-end support designed around the real pressures nurses and providers face every day.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a service – it is a professional community and support network specifically for CHC agency nurses and organisations delivering complex community care.
Our private, invite-only social media groups and regular events give nurses a safe space to share professional issues 24/7/365, ask questions, access peer support and build strong long-term friendships with colleagues who truly understand the demands of nursing.
Alongside our community, we provide structured training, consultancy and clinical support to help agency nurses and providers navigate CHC processes, stay compliant with regulations and improve outcomes for patients with complex needs.
Core CHC Training & Consultancy Services
Safe Transitions of Care in CHC & Community Settings
Supporting Seamless Moves Between Hospital, Home & Community Services
Transitions such as hospital-to-home discharge, moving between care providers or starting a new CHC package are critical moments in a patient’s journey.
Our experienced CHC nurses and consultants support organisations and agency staff to create safe, structured transition plans that minimise risk, reduce readmissions and promote continuity of care.
We work closely with multidisciplinary teams, families and providers to ensure clear communication, robust handovers and a person-centred approach to every transfer of care.
Pre-CQC Preparation & Organisational Readiness
Helping You Achieve & Maintain CQC Compliance in CHC Services
We provide pre-CQC inspection audits and readiness reviews for organisations delivering CHC-funded and complex community care.
Our consultants review your policies, procedures, documentation, care plans and training records against current CQC standards and CHC best practice, highlighting gaps and practical improvements.
Through actionable feedback, staff coaching and focused training, we help you strengthen compliance, improve governance, and build confidence ahead of CQC visits.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Person-Centred Care Planning for People with Learning Disabilities
Many CHC packages involve individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and other complex needs.
We support nurses and providers to develop person-centred, strengths-based care and support plans that promote independence, dignity, safety and meaningful day-to-day living.
Using current evidence-based practice and legal frameworks, we ensure that risk management, communication, positive behaviour support and health needs are fully integrated into each individual’s plan.
Specialist Training for CHC Agency Nurses & Care Providers
CHC & Community DoLS (DOL) Application Process Training
Building Confidence in CHC Eligibility, Assessment & Legal Safeguards
Our specialist courses give agency nurses, case managers and care providers a clear understanding of the CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST), assessment pathways and funding processes.
We also provide focused training on community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS/DoL) applications, legal responsibilities and documentation, helping you protect patients’ rights while remaining compliant.
Whether you are new to CHC or need an advanced refresher, you will gain practical tools to improve care planning, recording, multi-agency working and decision-making.
CHC Events, Workshops & Professional Networking
Stay Up to Date with CHC Policy, Practice & Peer Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in-person events bringing together CHC agency nurses, nurse assessors, case managers and providers.
Our workshops, webinars and networking sessions cover real-world topics such as CHC assessments, documentation, safeguarding, risk management and changes in national policy.
Attending our events keeps you up to date with CHC developments while also expanding your professional contacts, opportunities and support system.
Expert CHC Case Management & Clinical Support
Holistic, Person-Centred Case Management for Complex Care
Our case management team supports individuals, families and providers with comprehensive CHC case coordination, especially for complex or high-risk packages.
We help develop and review holistic care plans, align multi-agency input, monitor outcomes and ensure that clinical, emotional and social needs are all considered.
By focusing on quality, safety and independence, we support better outcomes for patients and more sustainable, efficient services for providers.
