Additional information: All Age Continuing Care (AACC) is the provision of community support and care services to eligible children, young people and adults whose primary care need is due to their health condition as opposed to their social care needs. This may include individuals with long-term conditions, who have a disability, or who have an illness, or who have had an accident. For those individuals who are assessed as eligible for AACC, the NHS will fund services to meet their assessed needs. This often includes: domiciliary homecare, a stay at a residential care or nursing home, a respite placement, a personal assistant (PA) or a personal health budget (PHB).

AACC is a critical service for some of the most vulnerable people in society. The services put in place by AACC enable many people with complex needs and health conditions to live healthily at home, to have more independence, to see their friends and families, to access employment, to live without discomfort or to have to worry about their care.

NHS South-East London Integrated Care Board (ICB) - Bromley has established an in-house AACC service comprising of managers, clinical leads, nurses and support officers. The service has a particular duty to deliver the ICB's statutory requirements and to manage the AACC budget.

The new All Age Continuing Care (AACC) Partnership Delivery Service (PDS) will work alongside the ICB in-house AACC team to deliver the totality of requirements for the service.

The PDS will be a clinical-led service that will deliver critical CHC nurse-led assessments and reviews, in support of the completion of Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) Decision Support Tools (DSTs). The service will also provide additional AACC administrative support services.
