Does anyone getting jabs delivered in the uk know what the deal is with these firms?
As far as I can see they are two separate firms (sciensus used to be healthcare at home)
But they both contact me to try and arrange my delivery - one you can do online, the other wants you to use an app.
I’ve arranged this delivery with one of the firms, but was curious so I asked my derm nurse whether two different firms were both trying to deliver my jabs.
They answered by telling me the firm I was set up to get my jabs from - without answering my question about who the other guys are - anyone know anything more cos I think it’s weird.

It's the same company but with a different name, I'll PM you a link.
But here is a snippet
Quote:
The world is changing. Our digital lifestyles and new technology are bringing new possibilities and new ways for patients to take more control of their health. We want to provide the patients we serve with much more personalised or tailored knowledge, choice and convenience. After listening to patients we wanted a name that represented future possibilities rather than one that was outdated and limited in terms of our service scope.
In July 2021, Healthcare at Home changed its name to become Sciensus. This is also known as a rebrand.
We’ve chosen the name Sciensus because it better reflects the important scientific basis of our service and the forward thinking approach we have developed.

Healthcare at home became sciensus.
But I’m now with healthnet homecare, which seems to be completely separate.
So why are the first lot still contacting me as well?

Pass

I've just noticed they have a help page, just put this at the end of the web address
help/help-and-support/ there are different ways you can contact them.

I reread your post, I'm probably making things worse.

Not at all Fred, thanks for looking at it and confirming that it’s not just me being really daft..
I might leave it for now.

If they are two separate entities, is there a profit to be made by having you for their client? Each wanting to have the business of providing for you?

That’s what I wondered - because I used to be under the other one but my hospital must have switched providers. But I don’t know how they know what drugs I’m on if they’re no longer my provider.

Our health records are meant to be confidential, but I don't think they are as private as we believe them to be.
