The Sciensus Clinical team work closely with the NHS and other organisations to complete your hospital treatment pathway in the comfort of your own home on our virtual ward. This gives patients across the UK the chance to avoid or shorten hospital stays and receive the treatment and care they need, where they feel most comfortable.
We’ll be visiting you regularly to give you treatment and care at home. Between visits, you’ll also be able to call our 24-hour clinical advice service. It’s run by qualified healthcare professionals who’ll always be happy to give you extra advice and support.
Our team is made up of clinicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and healthcare support professionals, who’ll all treat you with care and respect, listen to your concerns and answer your questions. They’ll work closely together, as well as with your consultant and other healthcare professionals, putting together a care plan and providing seamless support.
During the time you’re looked after by our team, you’ll stay under the overall care of your NHS hospital consultant. We’ll always let you know who’s responsible for your care plan and make sure you’re involved in any decisions or changes.
