CHC Nurses Agency Network: Expert NHS Nursing Training, CHC Support & Professional Community
Empowering CHC and Agency Nurses Through Specialist Training, Consultancy and Community
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is a UK-based nursing community and healthcare consultancy specialising in Continuing Healthcare (CHC), complex care, and agency nursing support across the NHS and private sectors. Our mission is to improve the quality of patient care while supporting nurses to develop their careers through specialist training, expert guidance, peer networking and strategic consultancy.
We understand the pressures and complexities that CHC nurses, agency nurses and community nurses face every day. That is why we provide practical tools, education and a supportive network that are specifically designed around the realities of frontline nursing and CHC practice.
A Supportive Professional Network for CHC and Agency Nurses
The CHC Nurses Agency Network is more than a training provider – it is a private, trusted community of over 500 CHC and agency nursing professionals who support each other 24/7/365.
We know that only another nurse truly understands the emotional, physical and professional demands of nursing. Through our invite-only social media groups and regular online and in-person events, our members share experiences, advice, opportunities and encouragement in a safe, confidential space.
Many of our nurses build long-term friendships and professional connections within the network, helping them feel less isolated and more confident in their careers. We welcome new members who are keen to learn, connect and grow in the CHC and agency nursing field.
Comprehensive Training for CHC, Agency and Community Nurses
Our continuing professional development (CPD) and training programmes are designed to strengthen the knowledge, skills and confidence of nurses working across CHC, community, domiciliary and complex care settings.
Whether you are new to Continuing Healthcare or an experienced nurse looking to update your skills, our courses focus on best practice, legal frameworks, care planning and regulatory compliance, including NHS and CQC expectations.
From understanding complex funding and eligibility criteria to improving documentation and person-centred care planning, our training is evidence-based, practical and directly relevant to daily practice. Sessions are delivered by experienced CHC and agency nurse trainers who bring real-world insight to every topic.
Specialist Consultancy Services for Healthcare Organisations and Providers
The CHC Nurses Agency Network also provides specialist consultancy services for healthcare providers, case management companies, domiciliary care agencies and other organisations involved in CHC and complex care.
We support organisations to meet regulatory standards, optimise CHC processes and improve clinical governance. Our consultancy can include service reviews, pathway mapping, documentation audits, staff training plans and strategic advice on CHC funding, appeals and community care delivery.
Working alongside management teams and clinical leads, we identify gaps, risks and opportunities for improvement, developing tailored action plans that help you deliver safe, high-quality, person-centred care while remaining compliant with UK healthcare regulations and CQC requirements.
Transitions of Care: Supporting Safe, Seamless Patient Journeys
Care transitions – for example, hospital to home, community to residential care or step-down services – can be high-risk periods for patients and challenging for providers and families.
Our network offers expert guidance and training to ensure that transitions are well-planned, coordinated and person-centred. We focus on clear communication, safe handovers, risk management and robust care plans that support continuity of care across services.
By applying best practice in transition planning and CHC pathway management, we help reduce avoidable hospital admissions, delays, safeguarding concerns and breakdowns in care.
Pre-CQC Preparation and Quality Assurance Support
For providers working with CHC and complex care packages, being CQC-ready is essential. We offer pre-CQC assessment support that aligns with current CQC key questions, regulations and quality statements.
Our consultants can review your policies, care plans, risk assessments, records and daily practice, highlighting where improvements are needed and recommending clear, actionable steps.
This support gives your team confidence ahead of inspection and helps embed a culture of continuous improvement, safety and person-centred care throughout your organisation.
Person-Centred Support for People with Learning Disabilities and Complex Needs
The CHC Nurses Agency Network promotes person-centred approaches for individuals with Learning Disabilities (LD), autism and complex physical or mental health needs receiving CHC or social care funding.
Through our training, peer discussions and consultancy, we help nurses and providers develop individualised care plans that respect choice, independence, communication needs and human rights.
We emphasise positive risk-taking, inclusion, safeguarding and quality of life outcomes, ensuring that care is not only clinically safe but also compassionate and empowering for each person.
Specialist Training on NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community DoLS
One of our key areas of expertise is NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) and Community Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS), including emerging Liberty Protection Safeguards (LPS) principles.
Our specialist courses give nurses and healthcare professionals a clear, practical understanding of CHC eligibility criteria, the Decision Support Tool (DST), checklists, assessments, reviews and appeals, as well as lawful restrictions in community settings.
Training covers legal frameworks, documentation standards, best interest decision-making and multi-disciplinary working, empowering professionals to manage CHC processes confidently and ethically.
CHC Events, Webinars and Ongoing Professional Development
The CHC Nurses Agency Network runs regular events, webinars, workshops and networking sessions focused on CHC, complex care, legal updates and clinical topics relevant to agency and community nurses.
These events provide up-to-date insight into policy changes, case law, best practice guidance and practical strategies for managing complex cases and workloads.
By attending these sessions, nurses can build CPD hours, strengthen their portfolios, expand their network and stay current in a fast-changing healthcare environment.
Expert Case Management and CHC Coordination
We also support case management and CHC coordination for individuals requiring complex or long-term care packages in the community.
Our experienced nurses and consultants work alongside case managers, commissioners, families and providers to design, review and optimise holistic care plans that meet clinical, social and emotional needs.
Our approach focuses on multi-agency collaboration, resource optimisation, risk management and legal compliance, helping to reduce unnecessary admissions and promote stability, safety and quality of life for people with complex needs.
