We are Direct Payment Specialists
We're one of the only PHB businesses in England which is owned and run by a parent who currently manages his life-limited son's Personal Health Budget via Direct Payments. This gives us a unique perspective into the daily challenges of parents trying to ensure their child's care needs are met.
By providing our expertise and support in all areas of the PHB lifecycle (Support/budget planning through to employer setup, staff recruitment and training), we empower parents to get their child's care needs met, allowing NHS / ICBs to focus on clinical guidance, oversight and governance, all whilst providing operational and financial efficiencies across ICBs.

If you want to provide more flexibility and control to your families, Direct Payments can be a an excellent alternative to agency-led care packages, if delivered and supported in the right way.
"Choosing Direct Payments nearly 10 years ago was the best decision I ever made for my son and my family."
