MDT Advocacy Service
Expert support when you need it most
The Full Assessment for CHC Funding can be an emotional and overwhelming experience. Thankfully, our Nurse Assessors can provide skilled advocacy, often at very short notice.
After the screening Checklist is the Full Assessment. This considers the same factors, but in much more detail, using the Decision Support Tool.
The Full Assessment is undertaken by a multidisciplinary team (“MDT”). Usually, this simply means a Nurse Assessor working for the NHS and a Social Worker from the Local Authority.
The MDT often feels very intimidating, especially if you have never gone through the process before. Having an experienced advocate by your side – someone who knows what should and shouldn’t happen at each stage – can make all the difference in ensuring the assessment is fair and robust.
Our approach…
The main steps involved in our MDT Advocacy Service:
- Arranging a virtual meeting with one of our specialist CHC Nurse Assessors to discuss your relative’s health and social care needs.
- Arranging our Nurse Assessor’s remote attendance at the MDT to support you and ensure the assessment is robust, fair and procedurally correct.
- Providing you with a follow-up report.
- Letting you know our thoughts on appeal prospects, if the outcome is negative.
