NHS Continuing Healthcare Services & Assessments
Support Through the CHC Assessment Process
My NHS Continuing Healthcare services include support from the initial CHC Checklist through to the full multidisciplinary assessment and Decision Support Tool (DST), helping ensure that needs are accurately evidenced and properly considered.
Appeals & Reviews
Challenging a CHC Decision
If CHC funding has been refused or withdrawn, I can review the evidence and decision, give you a clear view of the strengths of your case, and support you through the appeal process, including Local Resolution and Independent Review where appropriate.
Retrospective Claims
Reviewing Past Periods of Care
I can help with retrospective CHC claims where care fees may have been wrongly paid, including reviewing health and care records, identifying relevant evidence and preparing the case for consideration.
Additional CHC Support
Further specialist support for families navigating NHS Continuing Healthcare
Fast Track CHC
Where a person is rapidly deteriorating and may be entering a terminal phase, I can advise on the Fast Track process and help address delays or difficulties in securing appropriate NHS funding.
Complaints & Ombudsman
Where the CHC process has not been followed properly, I can help identify procedural failings, prepare formal complaints and support escalation to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman where appropriate.
Case & Document Reviews
I can review CHC documents, assessments, decisions and care records and give you a clear, independent view of your case before you decide whether further action is worthwhile.
Representation & Support
I can represent and support you at CHC assessments, reviews, Local Resolution meetings and Independent Review Panels, helping ensure the evidence and your concerns are clearly presented.
