What we can take

Services Available for Referral

Packages can combine more than one of these, and can move between them without changing provider.

Referral questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Referrals

How do I make a professional referral?

Use the referral form on this website, call 01934 416585 or email enquiries@ultimate-complex-care.co.uk. We will confirm what we need and arrange the initial conversation.

What information is needed at referral?

The person’s circumstances and required outcomes, location, funding route, urgency, current professional involvement, and any known risks, communication needs or equipment requirements.

How quickly can support begin?

It depends on the assessment, the commissioning arrangement, the competencies required and our capacity at the time. We give an honest answer on timescales when we take the referral rather than a fixed start date.

Do you accept jointly funded packages?

Yes. We work with Local Authorities, ICBs, continuing healthcare teams and private funders, including packages funded jointly. Responsibilities are agreed in writing before support begins.

How is delegated healthcare governed?

Appropriately trained and competency-assessed care staff may support delegated healthcare tasks where these form part of an agreed care plan, within defined protocols and with Registered Nurse leadership or clinical oversight where applicable. UCC works in partnership with relevant NHS and healthcare professionals and does not replace GPs, District Nurses, specialist nurses or other NHS clinicians.

How are outcomes, incidents and concerns reported?

Through agreed review arrangements, incident and safeguarding reporting routes, and direct professional communication. Reporting frequency and format are agreed when the package is set up.
