Specialist CHC Training for Agency Nurses and Healthcare Teams
Our Continuing Healthcare training programmes are designed specifically for nurses and healthcare staff involved in CHC assessments, care planning and delivery of complex care packages. We help you understand the full CHC pathway and your responsibilities within it.
Training can be tailored for agency nurses, permanent staff, managers and commissioners, ensuring everyone involved in CHC provision is aligned, confident and compliant.
Core CHC Training Topics
- Understanding CHC eligibility criteria and the National Framework.
- Completing CHC checklists and Decision Support Tools (DSTs).
- Person-centred care planning for CHC-funded individuals.
- Documentation, evidence gathering and multi-disciplinary team (MDT) working.
- CHC funding processes, reviews and appeals.
- Clinical risk management, safeguarding and best interests in CHC.
Practical, Case-Based Learning
Our training is delivered by experienced CHC nurses and trainers who work in the field. Sessions are interactive, using real-life case studies so that learning is directly transferable to your daily practice as an agency nurse or CHC provider.
We use the latest evidence-based practice and current policy guidance to ensure your knowledge remains up to date, helping you deliver safe, legal and effective care within the CHC framework.
Consultancy for CQC Compliance and Service Improvement
CHC Nurses Agency Network also supports healthcare organisations and providers through specialist consultancy services. We help you prepare for CQC inspections, strengthen CHC practice, and improve your quality and safety systems.
Pre-CQC Assessments and Quality Audits
Our experienced CHC nurses carry out thorough pre-CQC assessments to review your policies, care practices, documentation and governance arrangements. We identify gaps against CQC expectations and CHC best practice, then provide clear recommendations for improvement.
We support care homes, community providers, domiciliary services and independent practitioners who work with CHC-funded individuals and complex care packages.
Ensuring Safe, Person-Centred CHC Care
Our consultancy focuses on ensuring that CHC-funded care is person-centred, safe, effective and well-led. We help you implement robust systems for care planning, documentation, multidisciplinary collaboration and ongoing review so that you can demonstrate high-quality outcomes for patients and families.
Specialist Support for Learning Disabilities (LD) within CHC
Many people with Learning Disabilities (LD) receive care and support through Continuing Healthcare. We support nurses and organisations to deliver high-quality, person-centred care for this group.
Our network shares best practice, resources and real-world experience around LD, autism, behaviours that challenge, communication needs and complex health conditions within CHC-funded packages.
Person-Centred LD Care Planning
We promote care and support plans that are individualised, strengths-based and rights-focused. Our approach aims to maximise independence, safety, dignity and quality of life for people with learning disabilities, while supporting families and multidisciplinary teams.
Community and Transition Support in CHC
Transitions between care settings can be risky and stressful for CHC-funded individuals, their families and the nurses involved. Our network supports best practice in transition planning, whether from hospital to home, care home to community, or between providers.
Reducing Risk During CHC Transitions
We focus on continuity of care, clear communication and robust planning to minimise disruption and clinical risk. Our guidance helps agency nurses and organisations coordinate effectively so that patients experience smoother, safer transitions.
Events, Workshops and Networking for CHC Agency Nurses
CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events to bring our community together, share knowledge and create opportunities for professional development. Most nurses in our network stay in touch between events, supporting one another both professionally and personally.
CHC-Focused Seminars and Workshops
We organise seminars, workshops and networking sessions covering the latest CHC policy updates, case law, best practice and clinical issues relevant to agency nurses. These events are an excellent way to build your knowledge, meet like-minded professionals and grow your CHC career.
Expert CHC Case Management Support
Many agency nurses working in CHC are involved in complex case management, coordinating care across multiple providers and professionals. Our network shares expertise on effective CHC case management, helping you to deliver safe, person-centred care.
Person-Centred, Legally Compliant Case Management
We support nurses and organisations to develop and coordinate comprehensive care plans that align with legal, clinical and funding requirements. This includes documentation standards, MDT working, risk management, consent, capacity and safeguarding within the CHC framework.
