Cancer Services

With an ongoing programme of development and investment into our hospitals and equipment, Ramsay is proud of the quality facilities and environments that patients enjoy when being treated with us.

Since March 2020 Ramsay has invested over £12m in its diagnostic capabilities, including 13 new diagnostic imaging modalities (MRI / CT / 3D Mammography). This investment programme will continue into the coming years as part of the diagnostic strategy to ensure early diagnosis and improved patient outcomes.

Ramsay Cancer Care is dedicated to providing a service underpinned by a high quality clinical governance framework which drives clinical excellence and patient safety. Ramsay has a robust clinical governance structure in place with a dedicated National SACT committee to oversee SACT services in Ramsay, supported by a governance structure including specialist National Cancer Leads in medical, nursing and pharmacy roles.

Ramsay’s expectation is for appropriate MDT arrangements are in place to manage patients. Ramsay Hospitals will facilitate eMDT support wherever possible to allow flexibility for clinicians when discussing patients with the multidisciplinary team.

Ramsay has embedded into practice a cloud-based electronic prescribing system for cancer treatment called iQemo. This allows flexibility for prescribing off site as well as maintaining safe clinical governance for the patient. The Lead Cancer Pharmacist oversees the management of the iQemo system and appointed consultant advisors are responsible for reviewing tumour site specific protocols and regimens before being used in Ramsay

Our small, friendly teams go above and beyond to provide outstanding care to our patients every day. Patients frequently develop strong bonds with our team members, who provide them with personalised care in either a Ramsay hospital or at home.

In order to ensure appropriate governance and oversight of cancer services in Ramsay, we have specific roles in place to lead the services in our facilities.

Ramsay is a trusted partner of the private medical insurers, and maintains strong relationships to ensure we are offering the best possible service to patients.

Ramsay is part of all the major insurer cancer networks, allowing members to be confident of a high quality service.

Consultants can receive referrals through our National Enquiry Centre or direct from the insurance company. The team are able to directly book into a consultant diary, providing timely clinic availability for the benefit of the patient.

Our local teams will work with you to support setting up your independent practice and help you maximise your relationship with insurers.
