Chemotherapy at home
Bupa Home Healthcare provides patients with an alternative to frequent hospital visits for chemotherapy treatment.
Home chemotherapy can create savings across the NHS. Our illustrative example shows how treatment with Herceptin for a cohort of 50 patients can create annual savings.
View the illustrative case study here.
A trusted partner in home-based chemotherapy
Bupa Home Healthcare is a trusted partner of the NHS, private medical insurers, self-pay patients and referring clinicians.
We are seeing an increase in funders of healthcare, service commissioners and clinicians seeking to blend traditional and well established clinical practice with the wider availability of out-of-hospital treatment – thereby responding to both the real operational pressures within busy hospitals and patient choice.
The infrastructure supporting the service includes:
a team of specialist oncology nurses
dedicated oncology pharmacists and pharmacy technicians
a dedicated oncology patient co-ordination team
an out-of-hours advice line, where there is always a pharmacist and oncology nurse on call
our own nationwide distribution service and a validated cold-chain with a specially selected team of drivers
three in-house compounding facilities, each with multiple clean rooms, an MHRA Specials Manufacturing Licence for the aseptic preparation of injectable solutions and purpose built quality control laboratories
Bupa Home Healthcare is licensed and regularly inspected by public health bodies. We ensure our internal systems and processes maintain quality standards and our service meets or exceeds professional standards.
