New ‘home-care’ partnership

NHS patients will soon be able to choose to recover at home under the care of nurses from MediHome Limited, the Hospital-Care-At-Home company, and Clinicenta, a provider of diagnostic imaging services to two new surgical treatment centres in South London.

MediHome nurses will care for patients in their own homes following a wide range of operations instead of having to remain in hospital. These new surgical treatment centres are part of the Government’s programme to widen the choice available to NHS patients. Clinicenta’s two surgical units will start treating patients in April 2008.

David Highton, managing director of Clinicenta, said: “NHS patients choosing to have their operations with Clinicenta will be able to enjoy a service that until now has only been available to patients who can afford private treatment.”

Dr Mark Lomax, managing director of MediHome, said: “This is an exciting new development for patients in South London… International evidence and our own experience shows that patients prefer to be cared for in their own homes, where they recover faster and avoid the risk of hospital acquired infections.”
