Benenden Health’s members will get access to Reframe Cancer’s specialist clinical cancer services under a deal between the organisations.
The partnership will see all Benenden Health’s 870,000 members offered access to Reframe Cancer’s clinical cancer services.
This includes:
- Clinical advice and navigation during their cancer journey to achieve optimal patient outcomes
- A dedicated cancer nurse specialist to provide information and guidance throughout the cancer pathway
- A cancer support manager to help with chasing appointments, transportation to appointments or return to work planning
- Access to a range of online resources on cancer awareness and preventative measures
Reframe Cancer’s Care Quality Commission (CQC) registration enables them to provide clinical care, data, evidence and reporting as part of the cancer pathway, the organisation said.
The reporting will include patient feedback gathered throughout the cancer journey.
Mark Stephenson, CEO of Reframe Cancer, said: “This is a huge partnership for Reframe Cancer, and we are absolutely delighted to be chosen as the specialist cancer advice and navigation provider for Benenden Health’s 870,000 members.
“We support Benenden Health’s mission to make private healthcare accessible to all, our ethos, ethics and missions are completely aligned.
“Cancer doesn’t discriminate and there is an increasing need to help provide patients with an affordable cancer care and navigation solution. Our investment in technology also allows us to be wider reaching.”
Anne Chappell-Smith, director of sales and partnerships at Benenden Health, added: “On behalf of the wider team and membership, we welcome Reframe Cancer to Benenden Health’s expansive health and wellbeing services.
“Cancer advice services are essential because they address the holistic wellbeing needs of individuals facing a cancer diagnosis. Advice services have a direct impact on a person’s mental, emotional and social needs, while medical treatment is underway.
“We are looking forward to seeing the impact this has for our membership, and their families.”
