Oral therapy at home: safe, simple, supported
Being treated at home should reduce any worries patients may have and help them get the most out of their treatment. We’ve been treating cancer patients in their own homes for over 30 years, and our highly trained nurses deliver the same standard of care a patient would receive in a clinic. We believe that each patient is unique and we collaborate with consultants to build a treatment plan around their needs and preferences.
Oral treatment therapies at home are a way to support patients by having their medications delivered by a highly trained chemotherapy nurse at time that suits the patient while the consultant remains in control of patient care.
In our white paper summary: Investigating Patient Benefits in Home vs. Clinic-Based Treatment:
- 75% of those who received cancer treatment in a clinic (who were not offered chemotherapy at home) said they would be interested in receiving it at home.
- 47% of patients who received their cancer treatment in a clinic indicated that they would have considered treatment at home if it was recommended by their consultant.
The most common reasons for choosing cancer treatment at home among those who had it were:
- Privacy of having treatment in the home environment
- Greater flexibility around their schedule
- Elimination of travel arrangements
