Why Use a Nurse Advocate Instead of a Solicitor?

CHC is not a legal claim. It is an NHS health entitlement (determined through a clinical assessment process). The grounds for challenging a refusal are clinical (not legal): incorrect scoring of needs, failure to apply the nature/intensity/complexity/unpredictability framework, clinical evidence not considered.

A registered nurse with specialist CHC experience is better placed to make those arguments than a solicitor (because they speak the same language as the assessors, understand the clinical criteria from direct professional experience, and can identify clinical errors that a non-nurse would not recognise).

SG67 is also, in most cases, more affordable than a law firm (which makes expert CHC advocacy accessible to more families).

Not Sure Where You Stand? That Is Exactly What the Consultation Is For.
