Coverage
MediHome
currently cares for patients in London and the Home Counties.
If you live in Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex,
Hampshire, Hertfordshire, London, Middlesex, Surrey or
Sussex, it is worth enquiring whether we are able to provide care.
Not all patients can be looked after safely at home. Your
doctor will need to agree that you do not need the full range of
services available only in hospital. A MediHome Nurse will
also conduct an assessment to ensure that your home is suitable
for this stage in your recovery.
NHS Patients
MediHome
cares for NHS patients under a number of different arrangements.
Whether you will be able to receive care from a MediHome Nurse
will depend on whether your care is being funded directly by your
local Primary Care Trust or whether the hospital trust that you
are attending has an arrangement with MediHome.
From early
2008,
Clinicenta, who
will be operating NHS Treatment Centres providing surgical
operations across the whole of South London, will be arranging for
their patients to receive care at home from MediHome Nurses.
Your GP
should be able to advise you whether your local PCT or NHS
hospital has an arrangement with MediHome.
Private
Patients
If you are
receiving care under a private medical insurance policy or paying for your care yourself, there is unlikely to be a
problem arranging for MediHome care. Discuss with your
consultant whether care from a MediHome Nurse is going to be
appropriate and then give us a call on 01753 725272.
