Our Core Services for CHC Nurses and Healthcare Organisations

Transitions in Healthcare & Complex Discharge

Supporting Safe Transitions from Hospital to Home or Community

Care transitions can be especially complex when CHC funding and complex care packages are involved. Our CHC specialists provide guidance and training to ensure seamless transitions with minimal disruption to patients, families and providers.

We help develop personalised discharge and transition plans that focus on safety, continuity of care, clear communication and robust community support arrangements.

Coordinating Moves Between Different Care Settings

Whether a person is moving from hospital to residential care, from residential care to home, or between community services, we support nurses and organisations to plan and coordinate transitions effectively.

This reduces avoidable risks, supports continuity of care and improves outcomes for people with complex healthcare needs funded through CHC.

Pre-CQC Readiness & Compliance Support

Preparing CHC and Complex Care Services for Inspection

We help community providers, care homes and domiciliary agencies delivering CHC-funded care to prepare for CQC inspections. Our consultants review your policies, care plans, records and governance against current regulatory requirements.

You receive clear, actionable feedback and improvement plans to strengthen quality, safety and compliance in CHC and complex care pathways.

Strengthening Governance and Quality in CHC-Linked Services

Our support helps you build robust systems for clinical oversight, documentation, risk management and person‑centred care that meet both CQC and NHS commissioning expectations.

With stronger governance, you can demonstrate best practice, respond confidently to inspectors and deliver consistently high‑quality care.

Learning Disability (LD) Care & CHC Support Plans

Person-Centred Care and Support Plans for People with LD

Many individuals with learning disabilities receive or may be eligible for CHC funding. We work with nurses, families and multidisciplinary teams to create person‑centred support plans that uphold dignity, independence and choice.

Our approach combines LD expertise, CHC knowledge and safeguarding awareness to ensure care packages are clinically robust and truly tailored to the person.

Improving Quality of Life and Long-Term Outcomes

Using evidence-based practices and best‑practice guidance, we support teams to enable people with learning disabilities to live safe, fulfilling and meaningful lives while meeting their complex health needs.

CHC & Community DoLS Application Process Training

Building Confidence in CHC Funding, Eligibility and Care Planning

Our specialist CHC training courses cover all key aspects of NHS Continuing Healthcare and means‑tested funding pathways, including eligibility criteria, assessments, DST (Decision Support Tool), reviews and complex care planning.

We also offer targeted training on the Community Deprivation of Liberty (DoLS) application process, ensuring nurses understand their roles and legal responsibilities in community settings.

Ensuring Compliance and Reducing Funding and Legal Risks

With improved knowledge of CHC and Community DoLS, your team can complete assessments, documentation and care plans that are legally sound, defensible and person‑centred.

This supports regulatory compliance, reduces disputes and appeals, and leads to better outcomes for individuals and organisations.

CHC-Focused Events, Webinars and Peer Learning

Keeping CHC Nurses Up to Date with Policy and Practice

The CHC Nurses Agency Network hosts and contributes to regular CHC-related events, including webinars, workshops, Q&A sessions and discussion forums focused on the latest developments in CHC policy, funding and clinical practice.

These events provide opportunities for ongoing professional development, reflection and shared learning within a supportive community of CHC specialists.

Building Professional Connections and Shared Expertise

Our events enable nurses to network with peers, share real‑world case experiences and hear from expert speakers across health and social care.

This collaborative learning environment helps members to apply best practice in their own roles and services.

Expert Case Management & Complex Care Coordination

Person-Centred Case Management for CHC and Complex Needs

We provide or support specialist case management for individuals with CHC funding and complex health needs, working closely with families, MDTs and providers to coordinate safe, effective care.

Our focus is on holistic assessment, clear care pathways, resource optimisation and ensuring that the person and their family are fully involved in decisions about care and support.

Ensuring Seamless Pathways Across Services and Settings

Through structured coordination and clear communication, we help create joined‑up care across hospitals, community services, social care and independent providers.

This reduces fragmentation, prevents unnecessary admissions and supports consistent, well‑managed care for people with complex needs.

The CHC Nurses Agency Network Community

A Safe Space for CHC Agency Nurses to Connect and Unwind

The CHC Nurses Agency Network is also a place to relax, de‑stress and be understood. We recognise how demanding CHC and agency nursing can be, and we provide a community where nurses can talk openly with colleagues who genuinely understand.

Members share professional issues, reflections and questions in a non‑judgemental environment, with support available from fellow nurses day and night.

Private, Invite-Only Social Media Groups and Ongoing Support
