Timeliness and Importance of Event:

As the landscape of healthcare continues to evolve, understanding and navigating the complexities of NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) is essential.

The NHS CHC Virtual Conference is a timely and crucial event designed to bring together professionals, policymakers, and stakeholders to delve into the latest developments, challenges, and opportunities in the realm of CHC. With recent policy changes and ongoing discussions surrounding healthcare funding and provision, this summit provides a platform for insightful discussions and collaborative solutions.

Current Landscape:

The landscape of NHS Continuing Healthcare is multifaceted, encompassing policy changes, legal considerations, financial implications, and most importantly, the impact on patients and their families. Recent developments in the NHS have brought CHC to the forefront, with a focus on improving access, streamlining assessment processes, and ensuring fair and equitable provision of care.

However, challenges such as funding constraints, varying interpretations of eligibility criteria, and disparities in service provision persist. This conference aims to address these issues head-on by fostering dialogue, sharing best practices, and exploring innovative approaches to enhance the CHC landscape.

Key Subjects:

  1. Policy Updates and Regulatory Changes: Explore the latest policy changes and regulatory updates affecting NHS Continuing Healthcare, including the NHS Long Term Plan and its implications for CHC provision.
  2. Assessment and Eligibility Criteria: Delve into the intricacies of CHC assessment processes, eligibility criteria, and best practices for ensuring fair and consistent evaluations.
  3. Patient-Centred Care: Discuss strategies for delivering patient-centred care within the CHC framework, including the role of multidisciplinary teams, care planning, and holistic support services.
  4. Legal and Ethical Considerations: Examine the legal and ethical aspects of CHC, including challenges related to decision-making, capacity assessments, and safeguarding vulnerable individuals.
  5. Financial Sustainability: Address the financial sustainability of CHC provision, exploring funding models, budgetary constraints, and opportunities for optimising resource allocation.
  6. Collaborative Partnerships: Highlight the importance of collaborative partnerships between healthcare providers, local authorities, third-sector organisations, and advocacy groups in delivering integrated CHC services.

Why Attend:

  • Insightful Presentations: Gain valuable insights from leading experts, policymakers, and practitioners through keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive workshops.
  • Practical Strategies: Acquire practical strategies, tools, and resources to enhance your understanding of CHC processes, navigate challenges, and improve outcomes for patients and their families.
  • Stay Ahead of the Curve: Stay informed about the latest developments, trends, and emerging issues in NHS Continuing Healthcare to remain at the forefront of your field.
  • Influence Policy and Practice: Engage in meaningful discussions and debates that shape the future of CHC policy, practice, and service delivery, contributing to positive change at local, regional, and national levels.

Mr Daniel Monie
Assistant Director of Complex Care - Professional Lead for Adult CHC
North Central London ICB

I set up a pilot in late 2022 with 2 nurses which was rolled out to 5 hospitals with 11 nurses in spring 2023. The benefits of the project were to accelerate system flow, reduce costs and deliver person-centred care. The ICB has now agreed for a substantive team of in reach nurses from September 2024 because of the substantial benefits achieved.
