Hospital-Based Complex Clinical Care (HBCCC) provides hospital care (nursing and medical input) for patients who cannot be looked after anywhere else due to their frailty and complexity. The medical input should involve consultant geriatrician input as well as day to day input which varies
between facilities (some GP, some specialty or junior doctor).
Criterion for eligibility is "cannot be looked after anywhere else" as assessed by consultant geriatrician. Eligibility should be reviewed every three months, and patients who no longer meet the criterion should be moved on (usually nursing home).
