Quality care, expertly given

A community of senior consultants who offer expert guidance and advice, backed up by a system of governance that’s second to none.

Our Services

Using Supportive Care UK to provide OOH advice has worked really well. Staff have commented on how helpful the consultants have been, sometimes describing it as a mini teaching session, and we receive prompt feedback on advice given. I would have no hesitation in recommending the service.

SCUK has provided an exemplary out of hours service with clear and simple process to access the service, the advice given is evidenced based, provided by specialist palliative care consultants and in keeping with our current guidance.

Staff who have used the service have expressed high levels of satisfaction with the service and advice given. The documentation shared for advice given is clear and comprehensive.

Always keen to ensure we feel fully supported by the team and that there aren’t any issues with the services provided. Its always a pleasure liaising with the team and nothing is ever too much trouble.

Expert support and guidance, whenever you need it

It’s no secret that getting consistent access to high-level palliative care support is a challenge for many units. So we’ve created a new, remote-based model, led by specialist consultants, and underpinned by a standard of governance that far outstrips regulatory requirements.

Governance and support

Our remote consultancy model is supported by an unashamedly robust and rigorous system of monitoring and governance, ensuring that everything we do is carried out to the highest standards.

Our Medical Director, CEO and Lead Operational Nurse meet weekly to monitor and review the clinical advice our teams have given. Their feedback is shared with all parties, creating a cycle of continuous learning and improvement that delivers better outcomes for patients.
