CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Healthcare Training, CHC Case Management & Consultancy for Nurses
Supporting CHC Agency Nurses with Expert Training, Community & Professional Consultancy
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a dedicated hub for nurses working in NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC), community settings and agency roles. We combine specialist CHC training, expert consultancy and a vibrant peer-support network to help you grow your career, stay compliant and deliver outstanding patient care.
Built by nurses, for nurses, our network offers structured education, CHC-focused case management support, and confidential invite-only social media groups. Whether you are new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced assessor or case manager, the CHC Nurses Agency Network makes your professional life easier, more connected and better informed.
Specialist Healthcare Training for CHC & Agency Nurses
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) & Community DoL Application Process Training
Mastering NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Eligibility & Funding
Our CHC training programmes give nurses a comprehensive understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, Decision Support Tool (DST) completion, Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings, care planning and NHS-funded package coordination. Delivered by experienced CHC nurse consultants, these courses build confidence in handling complex assessments and navigating national frameworks.
Whether you are supporting CHC applications, working in community settings, or managing complex discharges, our CHC training helps you interpret the National Framework, apply clinical judgement and document robust evidence to support fair and lawful funding decisions.
Building Confidence in Care Planning, Risk Management & Community DoL
Participants learn practical, step-by-step approaches to assessing needs across all CHC domains, creating person-centred care plans and managing Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) applications. Our interactive sessions use real-world scenarios, templates and examples so nurses can apply their learning immediately in practice.
By the end of the course, you will feel more confident managing CHC assessments, writing defensible rationales, supporting family expectations, and collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to secure safe and appropriate care packages.
Workshops & Webinars on Latest CHC & Healthcare Policies
Stay Up to Date with CHC Policy Changes & Best Practice
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular online workshops, webinars and in-person events to keep agency nurses fully updated on evolving NHS Continuing Healthcare guidance, Integrated Care Board (ICB) processes, hospital discharge policies and community care legislation.
Our events cover topics such as changes to the CHC National Framework, discharge-to-assess pathways, safeguarding responsibilities, Mental Capacity Act (MCA) and Community DoL, and best practice in documenting evidence for funding decisions. Attendance helps you stay compliant, improve your documentation and safeguard your professional registration.
Peer Learning in a Supportive Nurse-Led Environment
All our sessions encourage open discussion, case reflection and peer learning. Nurses share challenges, tips and practical solutions they have found effective in different regions and settings, building a rich knowledge base that benefits the whole CHC community.
Our network culture is collaborative and respectful: only nurses truly understand the realities and pressures of nursing. This makes the CHC Nurses Agency Network a safe space to ask questions, seek advice and learn from others without judgement.
Expert Consultancy & Case Management Support
CHC Case Management & Person-Centred Care Coordination
End-to-End Support for Complex CHC Cases
We provide specialist CHC case management consultancy for organisations and individual professionals, focused on person-centred, safe and legally robust care planning. Our expert CHC nurses support you with complex assessments, package reviews, appeals and ongoing case coordination.
We work closely with patients, families, ICBs, providers and multidisciplinary teams to create joined-up care plans that reflect clinical needs, personal preferences and available resources, helping to reduce delays, disputes and breakdowns in care.
Addressing Clinical, Emotional & Social Needs Holistically
Our approach to CHC case management goes beyond paperwork. We consider clinical, emotional, social and environmental factors to design truly holistic care plans that promote independence, dignity and safety.
By coordinating communication between all stakeholders, we help ensure continuity of care, minimise avoidable hospital readmissions and support better outcomes for people with complex health needs in the community.
Care Transition Consultancy for Hospital Discharge & Community Placements
Streamlining Transitions from Hospital to Home or Community Settings
Transitions between hospital, intermediate care, residential care and home can be stressful and high risk. Our experienced CHC nurses provide consultancy to streamline discharge planning and community placements, ensuring that CHC processes are followed correctly and that appropriate packages are in place from day one.
We advise on safe discharge, risk assessment, contingency planning, communication with families and providers, and alignment with discharge-to-assess models and local ICB protocols.
Reducing Disruption & Improving Patient Experience
By planning transitions carefully and coordinating all parties, we help reduce delays, missed visits, inappropriate placements and unnecessary readmissions. Our focus is always on the individual’s safety, comfort and right to person-centred care close to home.
Pre-CQC Readiness Reviews for Agencies & Community Services
Preparing Your Service for CQC Inspection
The CHC Nurses Agency Network offers pre-CQC readiness reviews for nursing agencies, community providers and CHC-related services. We review your policies, procedures, care records, training records and governance systems against current CQC expectations and best practice.
Our nurse consultants identify gaps and risks, then provide clear, actionable recommendations to help you demonstrate safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services during inspection.
Driving Quality, Safety & Compliance
Our consultancy focuses on embedding person-centred, evidence-based practice while ensuring your documentation, audits and quality improvement plans are inspection-ready. We support you to build a culture of continuous improvement that protects patients and supports your staff.
Person-Centred Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities
Specialist Care Planning for Learning Disabilities in CHC & Community Settings
Creating Individualised, Strength-Based Support Plans
Many members of the CHC Nurses Agency Network work with individuals who have learning disabilities and complex health needs. We offer specialist guidance on developing person-centred care and support plans that promote independence, communication and meaningful daily living.
Our approach values partnership working with families, advocates, carers and multidisciplinary teams to ensure that support plans are realistic, respectful and aligned with personal goals and legal frameworks.
Promoting Safety, Dignity & Quality of Life
Using evidence-based tools and positive behaviour support principles, we help nurses manage risk while maximising choice, control and social inclusion. Our aim is to support services in delivering compassionate, rights-based care that meets both regulatory standards and individual aspirations.
The CHC Nurses Agency Network Community
A Private, Supportive Network Built by Nurses, for Nurses
Confidential Social Media Groups & 24/7 Peer Support
At the heart of the CHC Nurses Agency Network is our community of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals. Through our confidential, invite-only social media groups, nurses openly share professional issues, resources and advice 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Members discuss real-life challenges such as CHC disputes, documentation tips, clinical dilemmas, agency work issues and career opportunities, knowing they are talking to peers who genuinely understand the pressures of nursing.
Events, Networking & Lifelong Professional Friendships
We regularly host online and in-person events to bring our network together for learning, discussion and social connection. Many nurses within our community build long-term friendships and professional collaborations that last for years.
If you are an agency nurse, CHC assessor, case manager or community nurse, the CHC Nurses Agency Network is a place to relax, connect and develop your career with the support of colleagues who really “get it”.
