Cancer-fighting organization combining forces with Benenden Health for collaboration
In a groundbreaking move, Reframe Cancer and Benenden Health have joined forces to provide extensive cancer support services to the latter's 870,000 members. This partnership aims to make private healthcare more accessible, particularly for those without a company PMI policy.
Reframe Cancer, a company registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), offers comprehensive clinical advice and navigation to cancer patients and their loved ones. With this partnership, members will have access to Reframe Cancer's clinical cancer services, including support for appointments, transportation, and return-to-work planning.
Mark Stephenson, CEO at Reframe Cancer, expressed delight at being chosen as Benenden Health's specialist cancer advice and navigation provider. Anne Chappell-Smith, Director of Sales and Partnerships at Benenden Health, welcomed Reframe Cancer to their health and wellbeing services.
This partnership comes at a time when the NHS is grappling with a backlog of nearly 10,000 referrals and over 60% of patients waiting over 18 weeks for treatment, according to reports. The Health Foundation's latest research suggests that 4.7m fewer people were referred for routine hospital care in the first eight months of 2020.
Online searches for healthcare-related terms are on the rise due to ongoing NHS strikes and treatment delays. Reframe Cancer offers extensive online resources on cancer awareness and preventative measures, providing valuable information to those seeking guidance during these challenging times.
Members will also have access to a dedicated cancer nurse specialist for information and guidance. This partnership aims to address the holistic needs of individuals facing cancer, including mental, emotional, and social support, alongside their medical treatment, thus easing their overall cancer journey and facilitating a better return to work.
Benenden Health is replacing its incumbent infrastructure with a hybrid cloud and disaster recovery solution from Node4, a cloud, data centre, and communications solutions provider. This change aims to upgrade Benenden's online services, providing a seamless experience for members accessing Reframe Cancer's services.
This unique partnership between Reframe Cancer and Benenden Health is a significant step towards making private healthcare services more accessible to all. It aligns with Benenden Health’s mission to make private healthcare-like services more accessible to all members, filling a gap particularly for those without traditional private medical insurance coverage.
