Surgical teams are under growing pressure, from rising case complexity and elective backlogs to increasing care demands and system fragmentation. But is it possible to redesign surgical pathways to improve both outcomes and efficiency? And what does good clinical pathway management really look like? On Wednesday 16th April, our Co-Founders, Sandeep Chauhan and Dr Rosie Scott, will join a live panel webinar hosted by Surgery International to explore the future of surgical pathways. Chaired by digital health innovator Professor Shafi Ahmed, the panel also includes Mr David Redfern, Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at Cleveland Clinic London. Bringing perspectives from both NHS and private healthcare, the session will explore how evolving clinical models, new technologies, and shifting expectations are reshaping the surgical journey. 🗓 Date: Wednesday 16 April 2025 ⏰ Time: 7:00pm BST | 8:00pm CEST | 2:00pm EDT 💻 Cost: Free to attend Find out more and register here 👉 https://lnkd.in/eMZbGaYc #DigitalHealth #SurgicalCare #PerioperativeMedicine #HealthTech #ElectiveCare #HealthcareLeadership #SurgicalInnovation #PerioperativeCare #ElectiveSurgery #ClinicalPathways #DigitalSurgery #OperatingTheatre #SurgeryWebinar #FutureOfSurgery #HospitalEfficiency #ConnectedCare

Helping patients feel informed, prepared and confident is a vital part of what we do at Definition Health. Our LifeBox ePOA solution supports the informed consent process by giving patients access to engaging pre-procedure videos they can watch at home, in their own time. We also enable hospitals to upload their own clinical consent and preparation documents, ensuring patients receive the right information, clearly presented, well ahead of surgery. By improving how treatment information is delivered and understood, we help increase patient understanding, ease the burden on clinical teams and enhance the overall experience before, during and after the procedure. We're always encouraged by the feedback we receive from patients. Here are just a few of the comments shared by those who used LifeBox at the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre, Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Whittington Health, and Royal Surrey NHS Foundation Trust. #FeedbackFriday #InformedConsent #DigitalHealth #PatientEngagement #PerioperativeCare #PreoperativeAssessment #HealthcareInnovation #SurgicalPathways #PatientExperience #HealthTech #NHSDigital
