Continuing Healthcare for professional partners

We have an excellent reputation for supporting Clinical Commissioning Groups with Continuing Healthcare, and offer a broad and comprehensive service.

Our team handles a high volume of Continuing Healthcare assessments, with excellent case resolution rates, especially for those with complex circumstances. Comparatively few of the assessments we manage go on to appeal.

Much of this is due the quality of our team practitioners. All have long-standing experience, and several are also members of, or chair, Continuing Healthcare local review panels or independent review panels.

Full or part support

You can engage us to handle Continuing Healthcare assessments, or assign us to handle areas of your casework with which you need most help. We can provide:

  • Records management – requisitioning, collecting and collating information
  • Undertaking current assessments or reviews to help manage day-to-day workloads
  • Needs Portrayal – from drafting through to final sign off
  • Appellant involvement and liaison – including with legal representatives
  • Convening services – for example, to bring together multidisciplinary teams for making NHS Continuing Healthcare recommendations, or for local or independent review panels
  • Appeal representation for Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) at local or independent review panels
  • Application of personal health budgets including support planning
  • Training for all roles in NHS Continuing Healthcare – including for appeal panel members

Ethical standards; empathetic communication

We always work objectively and within the boundaries of the NHS Continuing Healthcare Framework. And we place high importance on working with appellants and their families in a sensitive, considered way.

Our skills and experience help us develop rapport. We listen carefully to what people say, while understanding that it is natural for emotions to surface.

In turn we provide balanced guidance to help individuals understand what each stage of the Continuing Healthcare process involves. We help interpret what is, for many, a bewildering complexity of steps, procedures and criteria.
