Lloyds Clinical
For nearly 30 years Lloyds Clinical have pioneered the delivery of specialist cancer care services out of hospital, in patients’ homes, working to the highest clinical and safety standards. Their highly trained oncology nurses and clinical nurse specialists deliver 1-2-1 clinical treatment at home, with the equipment to respond as they would in hospital.
The benefits of treatment at home
More people are choosing to have their cancer treatment at home for several reasons:
More time for family and work: treatment in your home gives you more time and flexibility to focus on everyday life.
No unnecessary travel and hospital car parking: remove the stress and strain of hospital visits and feel in control.
1-2-1 treatment and monitoring: you will usually see the same cancer nurses during their treatment.
24/7 clinical support: round the clock telephone support from clinical teams, plus holistic care and support for you and your family.
Treatment, safely at home
Dedicated 1-2-1 patient care is provided by highly trained cancer nurses, with the equipment to respond as they would in hospital.
“The nurses are so highly trained and experienced. They have all the equipment for every eventuality - it’s just like you are in a hospital.” Ron, Lloyds Clinical oncology patient
Nursing teams work closely with your cancer consultant, sharing all updates on your treatment. Every time there is a patient contact, there is an update in the consultant’s notes which are easily accessible through the latest digital technology.
More time for family life and work
Treatment at home frees up precious time for you to prioritise family life and work. Removing unnecessary journeys to hospital, car parking, and waiting around in hospital, puts you in control of your condition and your treatment.
“Being at home suits me and my wife and our active lifestyle. The nurses are so flexible - my treatment is on a Wednesday and that is also the day I meet up with some pals to go for a walk, so they arrange treatment around that”. Ron, Lloyds Clinical cancer patient
A provider like Lloyds Clinical offers you 24/7 telephone based clinical support, plus human care support for you and your family from clinical nurse specialists.
Treatment at home is now an option
From the rarest to the most common form of cancer, all types of SACT treatments are risk assessed and considered for treatment at home - including those that are not currently available in hospital.
“I can’t put into words how comforting it is to know that I can have my chemotherapy at home." Kate, Lloyds Clinical cancer patient
You can access clinical treatment at home through your NHS consultant, via a private medical insurance policy or self-fund your home treatment directly.
