Delivering cost-effective healthcare using our own pharmacy
More choice for customers

Chemotherapy at home from Gem Healthcare is an innovative, high-quality service that offers health insurance companies a cost-effective alternative to hospital treatment and delivers high levels of patient satisfaction.

Home chemotherapy gives patients and consultants greater choice and meets growing patient expectations for a personal service that is comfortable and convenient. Positive feedback from patients, coupled with favourable coverage in the media is encouraging wider acceptance of this form of treatment and generating demand for a service that is now highly-marketable.

Fully-managed service

Gem Healthcare works closely with health insurers to develop fully-managed services that are tailored to the needs of both provider and customer. We follow all protocols and liaise with consultants and hospitals to ensure that treatment is delivered to the highest clinical standards.

Production pharmacy

The key to Gem Healthcare's significant cost advantage is the efficiency gains from operating our own production pharmacy. We prepare our own specialist drugs cost-effectively with no reliance on outside suppliers, and we are able to ensure that drugs are available when they are needed, so patients are not kept waiting for treatment. The pharmacy, which is registered with the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, provides fast, efficient, accurate dispensing of scheduled medication as well as ad-hoc or emergency requirements. Gem Healthcare hopes to establish the pharmacy as a supplier of specialist cancer treatment drugs to NHS and independent hospitals in the future.

No hidden extras

Due to our efficient cost base and stringent management control systems, we are able to offer health insurance companies fixed "package prices" with no hidden extras. This lower cost base helps insurers to control charges to patients. We estimate the costs of an entire course of treatment in advance and bill accordingly. We also operate a clear and transparent accounting system that incorporates full audit trails. Home treatment looks set to be the future for chemotherapy. It gives patients greater choice and offers important benefits for patients, consultants and health insurers.
