What We Do at CHC Nurses Agency Network
CHC Training and Professional Development
We deliver practical, evidence-based Continuing Healthcare training programmes designed specifically for nurses and multi-disciplinary teams working in CHC, complex care and community settings.
Our sessions cover CHC eligibility, assessments, funding processes, appeals, care planning and best practice in person-centred care, enabling agency nurses and organisations to work confidently within the CHC framework and current NHS guidance.
CHC Consultancy, Assessments and Service Support
The CHC Nurses Agency Network provides expert consultancy to healthcare organisations, including pre-CQC readiness reviews, CHC process reviews, policy audits and quality improvement support.
We help providers understand where they stand against regulatory standards, strengthen their CHC pathways and documentation, and embed consistent, safe practice across their services.
CHC Nurse Community and Peer Support Network
At the heart of CHC Nurses Agency Network is our private professional community, where CHC agency nurses can connect, share experience and access support 24/7.
Through invite-only, confidential social media groups, nurses discuss real-world CHC challenges, share resources, ask questions and build relationships that often turn into long-term friendships and professional collaborations.
Core Areas of Expertise
Continuing Healthcare (CHC) Processes
Specialist Support with CHC Assessments and Funding
We support nurses and organisations to navigate every stage of the CHC pathway, including checklists, full MDT assessments, Decision Support Tools (DSTs), panel decisions and appeals.
Our training and guidance focus on accurate clinical recording, robust evidence gathering and clear communication with families and multi-disciplinary teams, to help ensure fair and well-documented CHC decisions.
Transitions of Care and Complex Discharge Planning
Supporting Safe Transitions Between Care Settings
We help nurses and organisations manage complex transitions of care for CHC-eligible patients, from hospital to home, care homes, step-down facilities and other community settings.
Our approach prioritises clinical safety, continuity of care and proactive communication, reducing avoidable readmissions and ensuring that care packages are robust, realistic and person-centred from day one.
Pre-CQC Reviews and Quality Assurance
Preparing CHC and Complex Care Services for Inspection
We undertake pre-CQC assessments focused on CHC and complex care, reviewing policies, documentation, care plans, risk management and governance arrangements.
Following our review, we provide clear, actionable recommendations to help services strengthen their systems, demonstrate compliance and evidence safe, effective and well-led care to regulators and commissioners.
Support for Individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD)
Person-Centred CHC Care Planning for LD
For people with Learning Disabilities (LD) who are CHC-eligible or require complex care, we promote highly individualised, strengths-based, person-centred planning.
We support nurses and services to create clear, accessible care plans that respect independence, dignity and choice, working collaboratively with families, advocates and wider multi-disciplinary teams.
