Navigating Challenging Decisions in Children’s Continuing Care
Thu 14 Jan 2027 09:00-16:10
Online Conference, 5 CPD Hours

Strengthen decision-making in Children’s Continuing Care

Come together with Children’s Continuing Care leads, nurse assessors, case managers, complex care nurses and clinical leads from across the NHS. Build confidence in understanding where health and social care responsibilities lie, navigate joint funding decisions and strengthen recommendations around support, respite and wider family needs.

This interactive forum will give you the opportunity to compare how other Children’s Continuing Care teams are managing these difficult decisions, work through complex cases and benchmark your approach to the CYPCC Framework and DST. Explore practical challenges around assessment, complex discharge, behavioural and developmental needs, mental capacity and transition into adult services, and leave better equipped to make clear, consistent decisions for children, young people and their families.
