CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Nursing Consultancy & Community
Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Through Expert Training, Consultancy and Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) nursing consultancy and professional community dedicated to supporting agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, assessments and consultancy with a thriving peer support network, helping nurses deliver outstanding person‑centred care while navigating the complexity of CHC, community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications and regulatory compliance.
Run by experienced CHC nurse consultants and agency professionals, our network offers tailored education, professional guidance and real‑world support so that nurses and providers can improve care quality, demonstrate compliance and achieve better outcomes for patients and their families.
What Is the CHC Nurses Agency Network?
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is both a specialist consultancy and a private professional community for CHC agency nurses.
We provide a confidential, supportive space where nurses can relax, share challenges, ask questions and connect with peers who truly understand the pressures and rewards of Continuing Healthcare nursing.
Our core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals stays in touch 24/7/365 via invite‑only social media groups, regular online and in‑person events, and collaborative training opportunities.
Many nurses in our community go on to become long‑term friends and trusted professional contacts, building a strong support system that lasts throughout their careers.
We welcome new members into our CHC Nurses Agency Network, offering access to private social media groups, networking events and specialist CHC resources that make professional life easier and more rewarding.
Comprehensive CHC Nursing Consultancy, Training and Support
Specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Training for Agency Nurses

We cover critical areas such as:
- CHC eligibility criteria and Decision Support Tool (DST) completion

Pre‑CQC Assessments and Compliance Support for Providers
For healthcare organisations working with CHC agency nurses, we offer pre‑CQC assessments to help you prepare for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections and demonstrate robust governance.
Our consultants review your:
- Policies and procedures relating to CHC and complex care

- Quality assurance, audits and learning systems
We identify gaps and areas for improvement, provide clear, actionable recommendations and support you to implement changes that meet and exceed CQC requirements.
This proactive approach ensures you are inspection‑ready all year round, protecting both patients and organisational reputation.
Specialist Areas of CHC Nursing Consultancy
Transitions in Healthcare: Safe, Seamless and Person‑Centred
Supporting Patients Through Complex Care Transitions
Transitions between settings – such as hospital to home, home to care home, or into CHC‑funded packages – can be high‑risk and stressful for patients, families and professionals.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides expert guidance on transition planning, ensuring that:
- Care is coordinated and continuous
- Risks are identified and mitigated early
- Communication between teams is clear and effective
- Patients and families feel supported and informed
Our experienced nurses help design person‑centred transition plans that promote safety, stability and dignity during every stage of change.
Care Planning for Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD)
Person‑Centred Support and Quality of Life
We specialise in care planning for adults and young people with learning disabilities (LD), many of whom have complex health needs and may be eligible for CHC funding.
Our consultants work with families, multidisciplinary teams and agency nurses to develop individualised, person‑centred support plans that focus on:
- Promoting independence and autonomy
- Maintaining dignity and choice
- Managing physical and mental health needs
- Positive risk‑taking and safeguarding
- Community inclusion and meaningful activity
Using evidence‑based practice and current guidance, we help ensure that care is both safe and enriching, improving quality of life for people with learning disabilities and their families.
