NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is the name given to a package of care that is arranged and funded solely by the NHS for adults (aged over 18) who are not in hospital and have complex ongoing healthcare needs.
To be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare, your main or primary need for care must relate to your health. For example, people who are eligible are likely to:
- have a complex medical condition that requires a lot of care and support
- need highly specialised nursing support.
