- The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust is piloting a new telehealth system allowing cancer patients to have appointments with nurses from the comfort of their own homes.
- The Telehealth Clinic allows specialist nurses to carry out basic patient health assessments via video call. Patients can ask the nurse any questions they have and arrange any necessary follow-up appointments without having to attend clinic in person.
- All of the patients currently using the Telehealth Clinic are being treated for ‘stable’ forms of cancer using oral treatments.
