The simple-to-use tests reduce the burden of in-person patient assessments while also unlocking new insights that drive more personalised, preventative and high-value care pathways within the community. This new service offering enables:
- Early detection of changes for faster and more accurate intervention
- Personalised insights to guide patient treatment,ensuring timely escalation and better outcomes
- Patients to have greater control of their treatment and freeing up precious time
Advancing and enhancing clinical care at home
The partnership marks a pivotal advancement in cancer treatment delivery, integrating Liberty’s innovative full blood count analyser with Lloyds Clinical’s oncology nursing teams to support patients receiving some of the most challenging and complex cancer therapies.
By combining data generated from patients self-testing at home and experienced clinical oversight, the partnership aims to reduce the occurrence and severity of treatment complications so that patients are able to achieve a better quality of life and improved outcomes.
Helping patients live independently and take control
This partnership helps patients to live independently and take control of their life, freed from the burden of their condition – enabling time and flexibility to prioritise family life and work.
It gives patients peace of mind through continuous monitoring, using the latest technology with Lloyds Clinical’s specialist oncology nursing teams.
Jo Upton, Director of Nursing said, “We are proud to collaborate with Entia to continue to pioneer specialist cancer treatment in patients’ homes. Combining cutting-edge technology with the expertise of our highly trained Oncology Nurses, who work with patients every day in their homes, is truly advancing what we can now do at home rather than hospital.”
Enhancing the delivery of specialist cancer care
For health professionals, it’s about finding smarter solutions to work more effectively with resources and do the best for patients. Our collaboration represents a significant advancement in capabilities through new health insights that enable earlier detection of potential complications and more timely interventions.
This proactive approach, combined with more efficient resource allocation, provides the opportunity to reduce pressure on hospital services while enhancing the ability to deliver truly personalised care. This innovative service is also unlocking rich datasets that are expected to lead to new treatment pathways that offer unparalleled levels of treatment personalisation.
Toby Basey-Fisher, CEO Entia said, “This partnership with Lloyds Clinical represents a significant step forward in redefining cancer care, allowing patients to focus on living their lives while ensuring they receive the highest standard of care.
