Course Outline:
This one day course, provides an in-depth exploration of the duties and responsibilities under the Welsh National Framework for Continuing NHS Healthcare.
It has been designed for senior staff and managers and reflects legislative changes incorporating the Social Services and Wellbeing Act 2014.
Continuing NHS Healthcare is fundamentally a ‘whole system’ issue requiring leadership across and within statutory agencies in order to ensure that the needs of individuals who might have a primary health need are properly assessed and addressed. These individuals are, by definition, some of the most vulnerable in our society and it is vital that systems deliver a person-centred approach to the wide variety of situations that Continuing NHS Healthcare encompasses.
Strong system leadership is therefore critical to the successful implementation of this National Framework. The course aims to ensure that senior staff and managers have a detailed understanding of Continuing NHS Healthcare, to enable them to guide and challenge front line staff on how to apply the framework lawfully and ethically, to establish whether a person has a legal right to Continuing NHS Healthcare due to having a “primary health need”.
The course will also explore how to promote a person-centred, rights driven approach which demands defensible, evidence-based decision-making from practitioners.
Key Learning Outcomes:
- Provide greater clarity to front line staff on how to interpret the Framework to ensure lawful, ethical, defendable eligibility decisions
