Description of our Organisation
One in two people will develop some form of cancer in their lifetime.
We have made it our mission to make a difference in the way that their treatment is delivered; giving the gift of time back to patients so they can spend it however they choose. Our mobile cancer care units help patients to fit their treatment into their lives, not the other way around.
We bring our fleet of mobile cancer care units into the heart of communities, and by working closely with NHS Trusts throughout the country, we work together to help as many people as possible.
Once on board one of our mobile cancer units, people receive the same exceptional care as they would in a hospital. The big difference that our patients comment on is that there are a lot more smiles and it’s a more relaxing, homely environment. In fact, because of the less clinical, stressfree environment on board, the specialist nurses on board say that many patients can tolerate their treatments better.
Our units are easily accessible, they are stationed in convenient, large spaces like those in a supermarket or community hospital car parks where parking is often free.
Our mobile cancer care units are comprised of four treatment chairs and specialist-trained nurses administer the same medications that the patient would receive inside the hospital. Our mobile cancer care units combine the friendliness and comfort that patients want but with the standard of treatment, they deserve and require.
