Simple ways to follow a Mediterranean diet
A Mediterranean diet conjures up an image of fresh fish and colourful salads doused in olive oil, washed down with a glass of red wine - all while sitting in the sun of course. While we may not have reliable sunshine in the UK, we can certainly tap into the wide-ranging health benefits offered by the Mediterranean diet.
Specialist cancer treatment in the comfort of your own home
You can access cancer treatment at home, thanks to specialist providers such as Lloyds Clinical, who have been treating people in their homes for nearly 30 years. Treatment at home removes the strain of unnecessary travel, car parking and hospital visits, freeing up time to prioritise family life and work. Working to the highest clinical and safety standards, highly trained cancer nurses and clinical nurse specialists deliver 1-2-1 clinical treatment, with the equipment to respond as they would in hospital. Specialist cancer services mean NHS patients, private medically insured, and self-paying patients who want an alternative to hospital can start their treatment at home.
