Easy referral to treatment process
Step 1: Receiving referral
Patient referred to our service by hospital. Our dedicated HPN team process registration and prescription.
Step 2: Checking nurse availability
We check nursing availability in the area (if required). We ensure that the installation pack is complete to include requested equipment and ancillary items. We keep hospital informed during each step of this process and arrange both a discharge planning meeting and risk assessment of patient’s home with them and their clinician.
Step 3: Installing the patient on to our service
The HPN team then contact the patient to arrange for the installation of equipment and receipt of their first delivery. Depending on the service requested a Lloyds Clinical nurse then arrives at the home to explain the process and administer vital nutrition or commence training to become independent
Pioneering play and distraction therapy for children

Lloyds Clinical created superhero characters Alex and Archie to support paediatric patients on HPN. The characters and literature help children through their healthcare journey, especially when transitioning to clinical care at home.
