SCCM Patient Access Fund
Your Care Creates Care.
An SCCM-funded commitment directing 2% of qualifying treatment revenue toward carefully governed patient-access support.
No compulsory additional patient charge. Clinical suitability and financial support remain separate decisions.
The Model
A transparent allocation, funded by SCCM.
For each qualifying treatment, SCCM allocates an amount equal to 2% of treatment revenue to a separately governed patient-access programme.
Qualifying revenue x 2% = SCCM allocation
This is not a patient donation or surcharge. The calculation and reconciliation remain in SCCM internal finance and governance workflow.
Internal Allocation
Patients apply for assistance based on need. They are not asked to calculate or manage the allocation.
Request Assistance
A dignified first step, with only the information we need.
This initial application helps the access team understand the patient, the care need and the main barrier. Detailed medical or financial documents are requested later through a protected review process.
- No passport or identity-document upload
- No full medical-report upload
- No bank statement or payment details
- No promise of funding or treatment
Potential Support Areas
Designed around barriers that can prevent a patient from moving forward.
Support type and limits are assessed case by case within programme criteria and available funds.
Clinical review
Support for essential records review or specialist case assessment.
Diagnostic access
Selected investigations needed to clarify a clinical pathway.
Care coordination
Practical navigation for complex or international patient journeys.
Travel-related access
Limited assistance where distance creates a documented barrier.
Rehabilitation
Eligible supportive care connected to a defined recovery plan.
Continuity of care
Selected follow-up needs that preserve a responsible care pathway.
Fairness By Design
Clinical need first. Financial review separately.
The access pathway protects medical integrity: financial circumstances do not determine whether a treatment is clinically appropriate.
Clinical suitability review
A doctor-led review considers diagnosis, history, current status, records, objectives and relevant risks.
- Reviewed independently from financial eligibility
- No automatic qualification based on condition alone
- No guarantee of treatment, support or outcome
Access and financial review
A separate authorised process assesses documented barriers, available resources and programme capacity.
- Consistent criteria and documented decisions
- Privacy-respecting information requests
- Conflict-of-interest and approval controls
Access Pathway
Clear stages, without false promises.
Application
Patient or authorised caregiver submits the first-stage request.
Records
Minimum medical information is requested securely when needed.
Clinical review
Suitability is assessed independently.
Access review
Financial and practical barriers are evaluated.
Decision
Authorised reviewers document the outcome.
Coordination
Approved support is arranged with clear limits.
Reporting
Programme activity is recorded without public identities.
Privacy & Dignity
Support should never require a patient to surrender their dignity.
The programme collects only information needed for clinical and access decisions, limits who can review it, and avoids identifiable patient stories without explicit consent.
- Minimum necessary information
- Authorised review and documented decisions
- No public beneficiary names by default
- Medical and financial documents kept out of ordinary email
Programme Accountability
Support is documented, reviewed and reported responsibly.
Public reporting uses verified aggregate figures and does not expose patient identities.
Qualifying revenue and programme allocation are reconciled internally.
Clinical suitability and access decisions follow different review tracks.
First-stage requests are stored in a restricted WordPress administration workflow.
Patient Access FAQs
What patients should know
Will patients pay an extra 2%?
No compulsory patient surcharge is added. The allocation is funded by SCCM from qualifying treatment revenue.
Can I apply for assistance?
Yes. Use the first-stage form on this page. It collects limited contact, care-need and access-barrier information. Detailed documents are requested later only when needed.
Does financial eligibility guarantee treatment?
No. Clinical suitability is assessed separately, and financial support cannot make an unsuitable treatment appropriate.
Who reviews an application?
Applications are stored privately for authorised SCCM reviewers, with clinical and access decisions kept separate.
Care With Clarity
Apply for access support or begin with clinical review.
Patients may request programme assistance and can separately submit medical information for doctor-led Clinical Intelligence Review.
See how this fits into a doctor-led review.
Use this page as part of a structured decision journey: clarify the patient goal, prepare records, compare options responsibly and move into Clinical Intelligence Review when ready.
