NHS continuing healthcare checklist

From UK DHSC

Screening tool to help identify individuals who may need a referral for a full assessment of eligibility for NHS continuing healthcare.

All staff completing the checklist need to be familiar with the principles of the national framework for continuing healthcare and NHS-funded nursing care.

A form for completion by the referring clinician is published alongside the guidance in Word and ODT formats.
