The Department of Health has launched a new electronic training tool which will help all those involved in assessment and decision making around NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC).
The E-Learning tool was developed by staff working within this complex policy area from the NHS, adult social care and patient representative groups. Two members of CCG’s CHC team have authored modules.
The tool is free to use and is designed to be intuitive and flexible so that health and social care staff can easily register and undertake training at a time and place that suits them. It is also free and accessible for other individuals, organisations and patient charities that are directly involved in the NHS Continuing Healthcare process.
The e-learning covers nine modules:

This is applicable to all local authority staff with a .gov.uk e-mail ending.
