CHC Nurses Agency Network: Specialist Continuing Healthcare Support for Nurses & Providers
Bringing Together CHC Nurses, Training and Consultancy to Improve Continuing Healthcare Outcomes
Introduction to CHC Nurses Agency Network
CHC Nurses Agency Network is a specialist Continuing Healthcare (CHC) agency and professional community dedicated to supporting nurses and healthcare organisations involved in CHC, community services and complex care.
We connect experienced CHC nurses with providers, offer expert training and consultancy, and maintain a strong peer-support network that helps nurses grow their careers while improving outcomes for patients with complex health needs.
What We Do for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Providers
1. Specialist CHC Agency and Workforce Support
We work with a core network of around 500 CHC agency nursing professionals, matching them with roles that make full use of their Continuing Healthcare skills, from assessments and reviews to complex case management.
Our focus is on placing nurses in supportive environments where they can deliver high-quality CHC, enjoy flexible working, and feel understood by colleagues who know the realities of nursing and agency work.
2. Healthcare Training for CHC Nurses and Teams
CHC Nurses Agency Network delivers targeted training programmes that build confidence and competence in all aspects of Continuing Healthcare, community DOLs, and complex care coordination.
Our courses cover CHC eligibility, DST (Decision Support Tool) completion, person-centred care planning, documentation, and regulatory requirements, helping nurses and multidisciplinary teams stay up to date and compliant.
3. CHC Consultancy for Providers and Commissioning Teams
For organisations, we provide strategic CHC consultancy to improve processes, quality and governance across Continuing Healthcare pathways.
This includes pathway reviews, policy development, quality audits, documentation support, and implementation of best practice to reduce backlogs, improve decision-making and ensure fair, consistent CHC outcomes.
4. Care Transition and Complex Discharge Support
Transitions between hospital, community and care home settings can be challenging for people eligible for CHC; our CHC nurses support safe, well-planned transfers that protect continuity of care.
We work with providers and families to develop person-centred transition plans that minimise risk, support independence and maintain the funding and support individuals are entitled to.
5. Pre-Inspection and Compliance Support (Including CQC)
We help CHC providers and services prepare for regulatory inspections, including CQC, by reviewing documentation, care plans, risk assessments and CHC processes.
Our CHC-focused compliance support highlights gaps, provides practical recommendations and helps services evidence safe, effective, well-led care for people with complex health needs.
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Expertise and Community
CHC and Community DoLS Application Process Training
Understanding the CHC eligibility criteria, assessment tools and community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) application process can be demanding for busy clinical teams.
Our training breaks down the National Framework, DST completion, evidence gathering and best-interest considerations into clear, practical steps that nurses can immediately apply in practice.
CHC Events, Workshops and Professional Networking
We run regular online and in-person events to bring our CHC nursing community together, including workshops, peer discussion groups, Q&A sessions and networking evenings.
Many nurses in our network build long-term friendships and professional connections, creating a safe space to share challenges, solutions and experiences that only another nurse truly understands.
Expert CHC Case Management and Advocacy
Our experienced CHC nurses and case managers coordinate multidisciplinary input for people with complex, long-term health needs who are eligible, or potentially eligible, for Continuing Healthcare.
We support holistic assessment, robust care plans, funding reviews and ongoing monitoring, ensuring person-centred, seamless care and clear communication between families, providers and commissioners.
Support for People with Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
Many of the individuals supported by CHC Nurses Agency Network live with Learning Disabilities, autism or multiple complex conditions, requiring skilled, consistent care.
Our approach is to develop personalised care plans that promote independence, dignity, meaningful activity and stability in the least restrictive environment possible.
Our Private CHC Nursing Community and Social Media Groups
Alongside our agency and consultancy services, we host confidential, invite-only social media groups where CHC nurses can share professional issues 24-7-365.
These private groups give nurses a safe, supportive environment to ask questions, seek advice, debrief after difficult days and celebrate successes with peers who genuinely understand CHC practice and agency life.
