Introducing LifeBox at Whittington Health

Each year, more than 7,000 patients at our organisation undergo an inpatient or day case procedure with us.

 

All of these people require what we call a 'surgical theatre pre-operative assessment' (POA) prior to their procedure.

 

A POA helps to ensure that our staff know in advance some of the person's important medical information, like their blood pressure, their weight, and what medications they may take.

 

 

 On Monday 4 March, we launched LifeBox which is a new digital platform that allows patients to complete the majority of their surgical pre-assessment online.

  

Not only will LifeBox save time, (and for some people, save them an entire trip to the hospital!) the platform also allows them to view our information leaflets and watch videos explaining their upcoming procedure. 

 

If you are having a procedure at our hospital, your unique link to the LifeBox platform will be emailed to your email address, so it is really important that your email address is up to date - if it isn't, you can let our reception team know and they will update your record.

 

 

If you have any issues with your LifeBox unique link, or are having trouble using the platform, you can speak to our Admissions team on 020 7288 5639.
