Services for chemotherapy patients

We offer chemotherapy at home to support patients wishing to access cancer services in the comfort of their own home. All home chemotherapy services are delivered by senior registered nurses.

Our nurses are trained and certified in chemotherapy administration, and are permitted to provide these treatments in the home setting. They are required to complete the eviQ Anti-Cancer Drug Administration Course and undergo annual reassessment of clinical competency.

We also provide routine care of intravenous devices such as IV cannulas and peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC lines).
