What We Do: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Support
Expert Training for CHC, Community Nursing & Complex Care
CHC (Continuing Healthcare) & Community DoLS Application Process
We provide focused CHC training for nurses and healthcare teams, covering eligibility criteria, assessments, care planning, funding pathways and the community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) application process.
Our sessions are delivered by experienced CHC practitioners who translate policy into practical, real-world guidance, so nurses feel confident navigating complex funding decisions and supporting patients and families through the CHC journey.
Pre-CQC Assessment & Compliance Preparedness
Preparing for a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection can be challenging, especially in CHC and community care settings; we provide pre-CQC assessments and mock reviews to help you identify gaps before an inspection takes place.
Our consultants review your policies, governance, care records and day-to-day practice against current CQC requirements, giving you clear, actionable recommendations to strengthen compliance, quality and safety.
Transitions of Care & Continuity Planning
Transitions between hospital, home, nursing homes and other community settings can put patients at risk if not carefully planned; we support nurses and providers with robust transition and discharge planning aligned to CHC frameworks.
Working alongside multidisciplinary teams, we help design safe, person-centred transfer plans that protect continuity of care, reduce avoidable readmissions and support patients and families at every step.
Person-Centred Care for Learning Disabilities & Complex Needs
Learning Disability (LD) Care & Support Plans
Our network includes nurses with deep expertise in learning disability (LD) nursing, who support services to create individualised LD care and support plans that put the person at the centre of every decision.
We focus on promoting independence, dignity, communication and quality of life, building care plans that integrate healthcare needs, behavioural support, family involvement and meaningful daily activities.
Specialist Case Management for CHC Patients
Complex CHC packages demand high-level coordination; our case management support helps services and nurses develop and oversee comprehensive, legally compliant care plans for people with multiple and enduring health needs.
We work closely with commissioners, MDTs, families and providers to ensure that care is safe, cost-effective and truly person-centred, with clear documentation and outcome-focused review processes.
Join the CHC Agency Nurses Network Community
A Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses to Connect & Grow
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a consultancy – it is a supportive, confidential community where CHC and agency nurses can connect with others who truly understand the pressures of frontline nursing.
With a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, our invite-only groups provide a space to share challenges, seek advice, debrief after tough shifts and celebrate professional wins.
Many of our members form long‑term friendships and peer support circles that last for years, creating a reliable network they can turn to 24/7, 365 days a year.
Private Social Media Groups & Ongoing Peer Support
Members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network gain access to confidential, invite‑only social media groups specifically for CHC and agency nurses.
Within these groups we openly share professional issues, clinical queries, policy updates and practical tips, helping each other navigate daily practice in CHC, community and complex care environments.
Whether you need advice on a complex CHC eligibility case, support with documentation, or simply a place to talk to people who understand nursing pressures, our online community is always active.
Events, Workshops & Professional Development
Regular CHC-Focused Events & Workshops
We run regular CHC events, webinars and in-person workshops that bring our community together to learn, network and share best practice.
Topics typically include CHC assessments and appeals, community DoLS, CQC expectations in CHC, documentation standards, LD care planning and managing complex community caseloads.
These sessions help nurses stay up to date with NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, legal changes and emerging good practice, as well as connect with experienced CHC specialists.

We support members to develop their careers in CHC and community nursing, whether they are just moving into agency work or are seasoned CHC practitioners seeking to expand their skills.
