CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Support for Agency Nurses

Connecting, Supporting & Empowering CHC Agency Nurses Across the UK

Welcome to CHC Nurses Agency Network, a dedicated community and consultancy for Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency nurses and healthcare organisations across the UK. We bring together experienced CHC professionals to share knowledge, deliver specialist training and provide expert consultancy to improve patient outcomes and service quality.

As nurses ourselves, we understand the realities of agency nursing, the pressures of CHC work and the importance of a supportive professional network. Our mission is to help you develop your skills, stay compliant with regulations, feel supported in practice and build long-term professional connections within the CHC sector.

Whether you are an individual CHC agency nurse looking for training and peer support, or an organisation seeking expert guidance on CHC processes, CQC compliance and complex case management, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is here to help.

Our Core Services for CHC Agency Nurses & Healthcare Providers

Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses & Healthcare Teams

We deliver targeted Continuing Healthcare (CHC) training courses designed specifically for agency nurses and multidisciplinary healthcare teams working in community and complex care settings. Our sessions are practical, interactive and aligned with current NHS and regulatory guidance.

Training topics typically include:

  • CHC eligibility criteria and assessment frameworks
  • Best practice in CHC care planning and documentation
  • Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS / DoL) application processes
  • Clinical risk assessment and management in community CHC settings
  • Legal, ethical and safeguarding responsibilities for CHC nurses
  • Working effectively with CCGs/ICBs, local authorities and MDTs

Courses can be tailored for individual practitioners, agency staff groups or whole organisational teams, ensuring your workforce is confident, competent and compliant in delivering CHC-funded care.

Consultancy in CHC Transitions & Complex Care Pathways

Transitions between hospital, home and community care can be complex and high-risk for CHC-funded patients. Our consultancy service supports organisations and professionals in designing and delivering safe, person-centred transition plans.

We can help you to:

  • Coordinate complex discharges for CHC-funded patients
  • Design clear, measurable care plans that promote safety and independence
  • Streamline communication between hospital teams, community nurses and families
  • Reduce avoidable readmissions and breakdowns in care packages
  • Align processes with national CHC and safeguarding guidance

Our aim is to minimise disruption, maintain continuity of care and support positive outcomes throughout the entire CHC care journey.

Support with CQC Compliance & Inspection Readiness

Agency nurses and healthcare providers working with CHC-funded patients must meet robust regulatory standards. We support organisations and teams in preparing for Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections and ongoing quality monitoring.

Our CQC-related consultancy includes:

  • Pre-inspection audits focused on CHC, community and complex care services
  • Gap analysis against CQC Key Lines of Enquiry (KLOEs)
  • Policy and documentation review for CHC-related practice
  • Staff training and coaching to embed compliant, person-centred care
  • Action plans to sustain and evidence ongoing quality improvement

By focusing on both regulatory compliance and frontline practice, we help you improve care quality, reduce risk and increase confidence ahead of inspections.

Person-Centred Care Planning for Learning Disabilities & CHC

Many CHC-funded individuals have learning disabilities, autism or complex behavioural needs. We support nurses, agencies and organisations to develop personalised, evidence-based care and support plans that promote dignity, independence and safety.

Working closely with families, carers and multidisciplinary teams, we help you to:

  • Understand individual communication preferences and behavioural triggers
  • Create positive behaviour support plans tailored to each person
  • Balance clinical needs with quality of life and personal goals
  • Ensure compliance with the Mental Capacity Act and DoLS/DoL requirements
  • Embed a truly person-centred approach across the care package

This collaborative approach helps individuals with learning disabilities to thrive in the community while ensuring legal, ethical and clinical standards are consistently met.

CHC & Community DoLS / DoL Application Process Training

Understanding and correctly applying CHC and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS / DoL) processes is vital for safe and lawful practice. Our specialist training demystifies these complex areas and gives nurses practical tools they can apply immediately.

Our courses typically cover:

  • Legal frameworks underpinning CHC and DoLS/DoL in community settings
  • Recognising when a deprivation of liberty may be occurring
  • Completing and escalating community DoL applications correctly
  • Record-keeping and evidencing best interest decisions
  • Working collaboratively with local authorities, IMCAs and legal teams

Whether you are new to CHC or experienced but looking to refresh your knowledge, this training builds confidence in navigating complex legal and ethical scenarios.

CHC Events, Workshops & Networking for Agency Nurses

We regularly host and participate in CHC-focused events, workshops and networking sessions to keep our community informed, connected and inspired. These sessions provide valuable updates, practical learning and the chance to build meaningful professional relationships.

Our events often include:

  • Expert-led webinars on CHC policy updates and best practice
  • Peer discussion groups for complex case reviews
  • Mentoring and career development sessions for agency nurses
  • In-person meetups to strengthen the CHC nursing community

Many members of our network form long-term friendships and professional partnerships through these events, making agency nursing feel less isolating and more collaborative.

Expert Case Management Support for CHC-Funded Individuals

For organisations and professionals managing high-need, CHC-funded patients, we offer specialist case management support to coordinate safe, effective and person-centred care.

Our case management support can include:

  • Clinical oversight and coordination of complex CHC packages
  • Reviewing and optimising existing care plans
  • Liaison with commissioners, agencies and families
  • Risk assessments and escalation planning
  • Outcome-focused monitoring and continuous improvement

With a strong focus on both clinical quality and human dignity, we help ensure patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
