Work out readiness
We start by separating three questions: does CHC look plausible, do you have the right records, and are you at Checklist, MDT, or appeal stage?
Plain-English CHC preparation
The CHC process is confusing. Your next step should not be.
CareAdvocate helps families move from uncertainty to assessor-ready evidence: check whether CHC is plausible, gather the right records, and turn those records into the language NHS assessors use.
Choose the route that matches today.
Start with free help when you are early, move to paid analysis once records are ready, and use meeting-specific packs when dates are booked. Every service is compared in one place, with prices, on the services page.
You stay in control of sensitive records
Some routes only need a free screener. If you later upload records for a paid report, the Evidence Engine uses UK GDPR safeguards, encryption, access controls, and clear retention limits.
- Medical records are stored in AWS London and processed in UK/EU regions.
- Files are encrypted at rest and transferred over HTTPS.
- Access is limited to the reviewer handling your case.
- Medical records and case data are normally deleted 90 days after report delivery.
- Your medical data is not sold, shared for advertising, or used to train public AI models.
What happens after you start
A shorter path from paperwork to usable evidence.
CHC turns on evidence. Our job is to make that evidence visible, structured, and tied to the framework the NHS actually uses.
Record readiness matters
If you do not have records yet, request them first. A paid report is most useful when it can review the notes assessors will rely on.

Build the record set
If records are missing, the right next step is a Subject Access Request. If records are ready, you can move into evidence review.
3
Map evidence to NHS criteria
The Evidence Engine tags records against CHC domains and descriptors, then a CareAdvocate team member reviews the output before delivery.
4
Use the output in the real process
Your materials are designed for meetings and written submissions: domain-led summaries, evidence gaps, and calm wording for pushback.
What CareAdvocate does differently.
- Starts with readiness instead of pushing everyone into checkout.
- Maps records to NHS Checklist and DST language.
- Combines AI speed with human review before families receive outputs.
- Keeps families in control without claiming to guarantee outcomes.
Cost context
Professional CHC support often costs thousands.
CareAdvocate gives families a lower-risk ladder: free screening, then £47 case analysis, then meeting-specific evidence packs such as Checklist preparation at £597.
