For over 30 years, Sciensus has been working closely with clinicians and private medical insurers (PMIs) to deliver one-to-one, holistic cancer treatment at home.

Our highly trained nurses deliver a whole range of approved prescribed treatment regimens, including systemic anti-cancer therapy (SACT), to a hospital-quality standard in the comfort of the home, improving both patient experience and adherence.

As the country’s leading provider of private cancer homecare, we give referring clinicians and PMI partners the confidence to extend treatment beyond the hospital, without compromising on clinical standards or patient experience.

Our cancer homecare services

Sciensus provides a comprehensive 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 remote monitoring and diagnostics.

We provide systematic anti-cancer treatment (SACT), including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and hormone therapy, and safe and effective delivery of intravenous or oral chemotherapy treatments under the close supervision of trained nurses.

Sciensus nurses are also 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.

PMI management

We work with Private Medical Insurers to secure funding on your patient’s behalf, ensuring smooth communication and reducing administrative burden for your team.

Working with Sciensus has been a genuinely collaborative partnership. As a clinician, I value their work. They not only understand the complexity of cancer care but also deliver it in a way that supports both patients and the wider healthcare system. They maintain the quality and continuity needed to deliver effective medicines and treatment.

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

Prof. Jain has worked alongside Sciensus to extend access to cancer treatments for his patients in Belfast and the surrounding rural areas. He reflects on how the partnership has enabled patients to access a large number of therapies and treatment regimens over the course of their illness, without the burden of frequent hospital travel.

We make cancer homecare easy

Our dedicated Patient Liaison Leads will make sure everything runs smoothly throughout the patient on-boarding and treatment pathway, keeping your team informed and reducing your administrative workload.

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.
