CHC Nurses Agency Network training supports you to confidently manage complex community care pathways, from first assessment through to reviews, appeals and discharge planning. We make sure nurses understand how CHC interacts with social care, Local Authorities and NHS frameworks, so that care is safe, legal and person‑centred.

Using evidence-based approaches and current national guidance, we ensure that care plans address communication, behaviour support, health needs, daily living skills and personal aspirations, creating safer and more fulfilling lives for people in CHC-funded care.
