Patient Portal

The patient portal (HealtheLife) is an electronic health record. Patients are able to view their health and care details in the portal at a time that is convenient for them, empowering them to take greater responsibility and involvement in their own healthcare.

Currently the portal offers:

a secure space online to view hospital letters and documentation
appointment details
the ability to view and monitor your test results
a record of your procedures and your known allergies
access to useful links
information going back to February 2018.

Please note, signing up to the portal is not a referral to our maternity service. If you are looking to refer please click here. To register for the patient portal, please click here.
