Cancer care at home

Exceptional cancer care at home, delivered by experts.

Starting cancer treatment can sometimes feel daunting, so we want you to know that with us, you’re in safe, expert hands. Wherever you are in your cancer journey, we’re here to give you the choice, convenience and comfort of having your treatment at home.

Making a positive choice

We’re the UK’s leading provider of cancer treatments at home, supporting patients and their families. Our kind, caring team of specialist cancer nurses, clinical nurse specialists and practice development nurses  brings systemic anticancer therapies (SACT), including chemotherapy, to thousands of patients every month, and they’ll be right by your side, every step of the way.

If that feels like the right choice for you, we’ll work closely with your consultant, following their treatment plan, keeping them updated every step of the way, and helping you make the most of the medication they prescribe. You’ll see the same familiar team of friendly, experienced nurses, every visit. You’ll get the same exceptional standard of care as you would in hospital. And you’ll be where you want to be, living as normal a life as possible.

Who can have cancer treatment at home?

We usually support patients who would otherwise come to hospital for outpatient or daycase treatments, including chemotherapy. If that sounds right for you, and you’d like to find out more about cancer care at home, start by talking it through with your referring consultant. They’ll be able to tell you whether it’s an option for you, and how to take the next step.

Benefits of cancer treatment at home

We’ll take care of it

Our role is to work closely with everyone involved in your cancer care at home, including your consultant, hospital clinical team and pharmacist, to make sure your treatment plan is carried out as planned. Throughout your care, your specialist nurses will send regular real-time medical reports to your consultant, who’ll retain ultimate accountability for your treatment pathway at all times.

One-to-one treatment

During each treatment you’ll have a home visit from an experienced chemotherapy nurse, who’ll be there to give emotional and practical support. We know it’s reassuring to see a familiar face so, unless there’s a good reason, we strive to ensure you see the same nurse or nursing team wherever possible.

More convenient, comfortable care

Cancer treatment can be exhausting. On top of having to travel regularly to and from hospitals, you may feel tired and experience other side effects from your treatment. Having chemotherapy at home means there’s no travel, no parking, no queuing and no waiting, so you can lead as normal a life as possible.

Lower risk of infection

Your immunity is weaker during treatment, so it’s important you look after yourself and minimise your risk of cross infection from things like colds or flu, as well as public places where they’re prevalent.

Dedicated 24/7 on-call service

If you have any questions or concerns you can call our care bureau, which is a telephone advice service for you and your loved ones. The service is operated by experienced nurses providing round-the-clock support.
