Free helpline and Navigational Toolkit
Since 2014, we have provided the Free Information & Advice service in England, on behalf of NHS England. Call us today on 0345 548 0300 for general advice or to book a consultation of up to 90 minutes of free advice with a specialist adviser.
Please note: this service is funded by NHS England, and is available for people whose CHC assessment or appeal is managed by an Integrated Care Board (or a third party) in England.

Casework and representation
We offer a full range of specialist casework and representation services designed to provide you with as much or as little support and advice as you need at any stage of your assessment, appeal or review.
We are friendly, expert, and work hard to keep you informed and involved at every step of the way.
Our approach is completely tailored to your particular case, but tends to be based around one or more of the following four services:
- Checklist Advocacy Service – support with the Continuing Healthcare screening process, the first stage of assessment
- Assessment Support services – expert help to prepare for your assessment, and an expert advocate there at your meeting
- Expert Analysis – thorough scrutiny of your assessment and decision, and advice on your chance of a successful appeal
- Appeal Management services – complete case management services if you wish to appeal a decision
- NHS Complaints Service – handling of a formal complaint about NHS Continuing Healthcare on your behalf.
