Definition Health, a leading provider of digital healthcare solutions, has been announced as an official sponsor of The Preoperative Association Annual Conference 2025. Taking place on Monday 3rd March at the Royal College of Physicians, London, this event will welcome over 300 anaesthetic and preoperative nursing professionals from across the UK to discuss innovations in preoperative care.
This year’s conference will focus on the evolving landscape of preoperative assessment, with an emphasis on improving patient outcomes. Discussions will cover optimising medical conditions before surgery, the impact of patient engagement on preoperative pathways, and the growing role of artificial intelligence in clinical decision-making.
With NHS England’s latest guidance on perioperative care and the UK Government’s Elective Recovery Plan reinforcing the need for digital innovation in surgical pathways, hospitals are increasingly adopting technology to optimise processes. Definition Health is leading this transformation, recently expanding its NHS and private partnerships to deploy perioperative solutions such as digital preoperative assessments and virtual wards.
"We are delighted to sponsor this year’s Preoperative Association Annual Conference, a key forum for sharing best practice," said Dr Sandeep Chauhan, Co-Founder and CEO of Definition Health. "With growing momentum behind NHS modernisation and elective care reform, it's important to explore how perioperative pathways can be optimised. This event provides a unique opportunity to discuss how digital health solutions can enhance preoperative care and improve the surgical journey."
Definition Health will also present findings from its research collaboration with the University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. The study explores the adoption of digital preoperative pathways for elective surgery, highlighting their feasibility, usability, and economic benefits. The research also highlights the potential for significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional preoperative processes, aligning with the NHS’s commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.
As part of its sponsorship, Definition Health will also be exhibiting at the event, showcasing LifeBox, its flagship preoperative assessment platform. Through live demonstrations and real-world case studies, attendees will see how LifeBox streamlines workflows, reduces inefficiencies, and ultimately improves patient outcomes. Sales Director Dan Castro Harman and Business Analyst Sam Chauhan will be on hand to walk delegates through its features, highlighting how the platform integrates seamlessly into existing hospital systems to support anaesthetists and preoperative teams.
As the UK healthcare sector continues to embrace digital transformation to improve clinical pathways, Definition Health’s sponsorship of the conference underscores its commitment to driving transformation in surgical care.
