We’re creating new resources on continuing care, and we want to hear from families already getting an NHS-funded continuing care package.

Our helpline is receiving a growing number of calls from parents having issues with continuing care funding. Often families face difficulties with the fraught process transitioning to adult continuing healthcare.

BBC News recently highlighted the plight of 100 families battling to secure adequate NHS-funded support for their children with complex health needs.

We want to hear from parents who’ve navigated the continuing care system and are happy to share their top tips.
