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.

Care arranged as part of NHS Continuing Healthcare can be provided in a variety of different settings including care homes, hospices or in your own home.

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.
The NHS CHC process is set out in the National Framework for NHS Continuing Healthcare. The framework is written and produced by the Department of Health and Social Care and was revised in October 2018. It sets out the principles and processes of NHS Continuing Healthcare.

We understand that NHS Continuing Healthcare is a complex and highly sensitive area which can affect people at a very vulnerable stage of their lives. We are here to help. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our teams using the links below.
