Course Outline:
Deepen your understanding of NHS Continuing Healthcare law with our course. Learn about assessment processes, consent, and person-centred care.
The aim of this course is to provide delegates who have some knowledge of NHS Continuing Healthcare with a detailed overview of the law underpinning CHC and the process end-to-end. The course covers the importance of a person centred approach, consent, capacity and best interest decision making. The duties of the ICB will be explored along with the role of the Local Authority enabling professionals to avoid the pitfalls in the decision-making process to ensure they carry out their role effectively and to best practice standards.
Delegates will consider the screening and assessment process, as well as the process of reviews and appeals of continuing care decisions.
The course will be delivered in line with the Health and Care Act 2022 and the new NHS CHC National Framework 2022.
