Collaborating with Benenden Health: Reframe Cancer's Ongoing Partnership
Reframe Cancer and Benenden Health Partner to Boost Cancer Support Services
In a groundbreaking move, Reframe Cancer has partnered with Benenden Health, granting access to its clinical cancer services to 870,000 Benenden Health members [1][2]. This unique collaboration aims to expand support and care options for a large health coverage community, providing clinical cancer advice and navigation to members for the first time in this capacity.
Under this partnership, members will gain access to specialist cancer advice, 1:1 consultations via chat and video with cancer support managers and cancer nurse specialists through Reframe Cancer’s ‘Care for Carers’ service [1][2]. Additionally, they will have access to extensive online resources on cancer awareness and preventative measures. To further assist patients and their families, members will be able to benefit from practical support such as help with appointments, transportation, and return to work planning.
The partnership is notable for combining Reframe Cancer’s specialized clinical expertise with Benenden Health’s established membership network, delivering a unique and comprehensive cancer care resource at scale [1][2]. By integrating specialist, personalized cancer support into the membership benefits, Benenden Health enhances the value of its coverage and potentially improves health outcomes and patient experience by offering early and expert intervention and advice [1][2].
The Health Foundation's latest research suggests this trend, with interest in private healthcare surging, as almost 60% of patients are waiting over 18 weeks for treatment [3]. Moreover, there is a backlog of nearly 10,000 referrals in the NHS due to the pandemic [4]. In this context, the partnership between Reframe Cancer and Benenden Health is particularly relevant, aiming to provide timely and expert cancer advice and navigation to members.
This collaboration also signifies a significant change for Benenden Health, as they replace their incumbent infrastructure with a hybrid cloud and disaster recovery solution from Node4 [5]. The news is relevant to both the Life/Health/Critical illness sector and the InsureTech sector, reflecting the growing importance of digital transformation in healthcare.
Mark Stephenson, CEO at Reframe Cancer, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, "We are thrilled to be partnering with Benenden Health to provide comprehensive clinical advice and navigation to their members" [1][2]. Reframe Cancer's CQC registration enables them to provide clinical excellence, data, evidence, and reporting as part of the cancer pathway [6].
With online searches for healthcare-related terms increasing due to ongoing NHS strikes and treatment delays [7], the partnership between Reframe Cancer and Benenden Health is poised to make a significant impact, offering a reliable and accessible resource for those seeking cancer support and guidance.
