NHS Continuing Healthcare

Introduction

The course will give learners an overview of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) including the processes of referral, asessment, service provision, review and appeal. The course includes links to the relevant assessment tools and guidance and so can also be used as a resource by those who are involved in CHC assessments.

It is split into two modules:

  • What is Continuing Healthcare
  • After the Assessment

The first module includes an overview of CHC and information about how assessments are made, including links to all the relevant documents.

The second module explores what happens after the assessment, including the provision of services and direct payments.  It also covers the options available to those who are not eligible for CHC, for example, NHS-funded Nursing Care and the appeals process.
