Life St James Day Hospital

Overview

Life St James Day Hospital, situated in Southernwood in East London, has 28 beds and 4 theatres, and caters mainly for day patients. Where necessary, patients can be accommodated overnight but all patients – whether short term or long term – experience the compassionate care of expertly trained nurses and specialists. The hospital’s excellent quality of the services complements those provided by its sister hospitals in the city - Life St Dominic’s Hospital and Life East London Private Hospital. Many dental, maxillofacial, ophthalmological and gynaecological procedures (as well as some other minor surgical procedures) are performed at this modern and sophisticated facility, where a team of first-class health professionals focus on the personal needs of patients and their families. Here you can see Life Healthcare’s key pillars – life, health and care – in action.
