Receiving cancer treatment at home means patients can feel more relaxed, without the need to travel to hospital. Focused on personalising this treatment to each person, our team of highly trained nurses offer all the experience and skill you would expect in a hospital, but in the comfort of the patient’s living room, workplace or somewhere else convenient to them.

With experience covering a whole range of specialities and treatment regimens, including systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT) to thousands of patients, we are the country’s leading provider of private cancer care at home.

Cancer care at home

Our cancer care at home services

Sciensus provides a range of cancer care services at home. We focus on delivering high-quality, patient-centred treatments to minimise hospital visits and enhance comfort, from chemotherapy at home to blood pressure readings.

We also provide systematic anti-cancer treatment (SACT). This includes chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies which target specific molecules within cancer cells and hormone therapy which treats hormone-sensitive cancers like breast or prostate cancer. Safe and effective delivery of intravenous or oral chemotherapy treatments also takes place under the close supervision of trained nurses.

Sciensus nurses are trained to care for and manage devices required for certain treatments, including cannulation and central venous access devices. They also deliver regular check-ins to monitor the patient’s response to treatment, manage symptoms and adjust care plans as needed.

Hear from Professor Suneil Jain, Professor and consultant in clinical oncology

Prof. Jain believes that his work alongside Sciensus has been of great benefit to patients because they can now access a large number of therapies and cancer treatments over the course of their illness. However, getting to hospital regularly can be difficult for those living in rural areas around Belfast, where Prof. Suneil is based.

We make cancer care at home easy

Our dedicated Patient Liaison Leads will make sure everything runs smoothly throughout the patient on-boarding and treatment pathway.

We aim to respond to private patient referrals within one working day, and where possible, on treatment within one week of a referral. We have clear communication protocols for blood tests, treatment confirmation and toxicity tests based on the consultant preferences.

We’ll provide you with free iQemo software for easy referrals, uploading blood results and sending you a Clinical Evaluation Form after each patient visit. For new consultants and regular referrers, we can endeavour to make a nurse available to attend clinics, even if the clinics are held outside of business hours.
