CHC Nurses Agency Network – Specialist CHC Training, Consultancy & Community for Agency Nurses
Empowering Agency Nurses and Healthcare Organisations in Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist nursing consultancy and support network dedicated to raising standards in Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and complex care across the UK.
We combine expert CHC training, consultancy and case management with a thriving agency nurse community, helping nurses and healthcare organisations deliver safe, compliant and person-centred care in every setting.
With a clear focus on continuity of care, CQC compliance and professional development, we support nurses, care providers and commissioners to improve outcomes for adults and children with complex health needs.
About CHC Nurses Agency Network
Founded by experienced CHC nurses and case managers, CHC Nurses Agency Network understands the realities of frontline nursing, agency work and NHS Continuing Healthcare processes.
Our network brings together over 500 CHC agency nursing professionals who support each other 24/7/365 through private, invite‑only online groups, regular networking events and peer‑to‑peer learning.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the pressures, responsibilities and emotional load of nursing, particularly in complex CHC packages – which is why we have built a safe, supportive and confidential community.
Alongside our community, we deliver bespoke training and consultancy for nurses, care agencies and healthcare organisations, helping them navigate CHC, DoLS in the community, CQC expectations and person‑centred care planning.
What We Do – Core Services & Support
1. Specialist CHC Training & Professional Development
We provide targeted Continuing Healthcare training for agency nurses, case managers, care home staff and community teams who work with adults and children with complex needs.
Our training is designed and delivered by practising CHC nurses who understand the real‑world challenges of assessments, reviews and day‑to‑day care.
Key CHC training topics include:
- Understanding the CHC National Framework and key principles
- Checklist, Decision Support Tool (DST) and eligibility criteria
- CHC care planning, risk assessment and documentation
- Working with ICBs, CHC teams and multidisciplinary professionals
- Community DoLS application processes and legal considerations
- Person‑centred, outcome‑focused care in complex packages
Training is delivered via webinars, live online sessions, in‑person workshops and bespoke in‑house programmes for organisations seeking to upskill teams and improve CHC compliance.
2. Healthcare Consultancy, CQC & CHC Assessments
CHC Nurses Agency Network offers specialist consultancy to care agencies, nursing homes, supported living providers and other healthcare organisations involved in CHC‑funded care.
Our consultancy support includes:
- Pre‑CQC assessments and mock inspections focused on complex care and CHC
- Review of policies, procedures and governance relating to CHC and community DoLS
- Audit of care plans, risk assessments and clinical documentation
- Support with CHC disputes, appeals and quality assurance
- Guidance on workforce training and competency frameworks for CHC packages
Our aim is to help you meet and exceed CQC standards, demonstrate robust CHC knowledge and deliver consistently safe, high‑quality care.
3. Transitions & Continuity of Care in Complex CHC Packages
Transitions between hospital, home, community placements and care providers can be high‑risk moments for people with complex health needs.
We support safe, well‑planned transitions to maintain continuity of care and protect clinical, psychological and social wellbeing.
Our transition support includes:
- Planning and coordinating discharge and transfer pathways
- Ensuring accurate handover of clinical information and risk management plans
- Liaising with CHC teams, ICBs, local authorities and care providers
- Supporting families and carers to understand CHC funding and responsibilities
By working in partnership with all stakeholders, we help reduce avoidable admissions, breakdowns in care and safeguarding concerns.
4. Personalised Support for Learning Disabilities & Autism
Many of the individuals supported through CHC funding live with learning disabilities, autism and complex behavioural needs.
CHC Nurses Agency Network helps develop individualised care and support plans that promote independence, dignity and inclusion.
Our LD‑focused support offers:
- Person‑centred care planning that prioritises choice and control
- Positive behaviour support, risk management and de‑escalation approaches
- Close collaboration with families, advocates and multi‑disciplinary teams
- Training for staff on communication, capacity and consent
We work to ensure that every plan reflects the person’s strengths, preferences and long‑term aspirations.
5. Community DoLS & Legal Compliance Training
Understanding Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) in the community is essential for any team providing complex care in people’s homes, supported living or residential settings.
Our Community DoLS training helps nurses, managers and providers:
- Recognise when restrictions may amount to a deprivation of liberty
- Understand legal responsibilities, best interest decisions and documentation
- Follow correct application and authorisation pathways
- Ensure practice is rights‑based, lawful and person‑centred
This training reduces legal risk and supports organisations to demonstrate robust safeguarding and governance.
6. CHC‑Focused Events, Webinars & Networking
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online and in‑person events to keep our community up to date with CHC developments, policy changes and best practice.
Events include:
- Live CHC masterclasses and case‑based learning sessions
- Networking events for agency nurses, case managers and clinical leaders
- Panel discussions with CHC experts, legal professionals and senior nurses
- Peer‑support sessions focused on wellbeing, resilience and work‑life balance
These events allow nurses and organisations to share experiences, ask questions and build lasting professional relationships.
7. Expert CHC Case Management Services
Our experienced CHC case managers coordinate complex care packages for adults and children with long‑term health conditions, neurological conditions, spinal injuries, acquired brain injuries and other complex needs.
Case management support can include:
- Comprehensive clinical assessments and holistic needs reviews
- Development and ongoing review of bespoke care plans
- Recruitment, training and supervision of nursing and care teams
- Liaison with ICBs, CHC teams, therapists and other professionals
