Healthcare at Home, services for Consultants

Intricate procedures such as IV antibiotics, blood transfusions, chemotherapy and related supportive therapies are now routinely administered to patients in the comfort of their own homes, or even at their place of work. For consultants, this provides a safe, clinically-proven and highly-effective treatment option.
We are the preferred home care provider for all the major private health insurers. We have also worked closely with BUPA for over eight years and are now the only provider approved by them to undertake such complex procedures in the home.
Our services meet the highest clinical standards and are tailored to complement each consultant’s individual requirements and procedures. This means you stay fully in control of patient care at all times.

Referring patients for home treatment in no way affects your private patient income. The insurance companies absorb the entire cost of the service.
In fact, home treatment will help you manage and review your patients more closely than you might ordinarily be able to do. It will also enable you to expand your practice without fear of over stretching yourself.
Your named nurse will remind you about prescriptions and alert you to pathology results that fall outside normal ranges. Our 24-hour on-call service will ensure your patients are covered should you be away or unavailable.

For patients requiring regular IV therapy, home treatment can greatly improve their quality of life. They have less need to travel to and from hospital and are less at risk from hospital acquired infection. They also have greater independence and can continue working, so it’s easier for their families too.
Not surprisingly, home care is extremely popular with patients as they now have some real choices about their treatment. We arrange visits at times that will suit them and their families, including at their place of work. If they wish to travel, our regionally-based nursing teams can treat them anywhere in the country. We can even treat them abroad.

The IV treatment regimes undertaken by our specialist nursing teams are wide ranging, both in their nature and intensity. Whether administering vesicant cytotoxic regimes or IV anti-microbial and blood products, all patients receive the same high standard of care.
