If you support people with complex health needs, CHC can be life-changing. It can also be confusing to navigate. In one focused hour, Ruth will cover:
- Who qualifies: making sense of the required primary health need and the Decision Support Tool (DST).
- The process, step by step: From Checklist to MDT/DST meeting to recommendation to panel decision to review.
- Evidence that works: mapping needs across domains, using contemporaneous records, and articulating nature, intensity, complexity and unpredictability.
- Fast-Track CHC: when it applies and how to present it correctly.
- When it’s a “no”: how to respond, request review, and structure an appeal without starting from scratch. Who Should Attend
- Family Members of Vulnerable People or Advocates
- Private client / Court of Protection solicitors
- Deputies & attorneys
- Social workers & healthcare professionals
- Case managers
- Care home managers
