Prepared Patient · Welcome

You are the most important member of your health team.

Prepared Patient is a free Force for Health program that teaches you what your body is doing, what to watch for, how to talk to your care team, and how to act early — so a worrying day stays a worrying day, not a hospital stay.

Why this program

Why Prepared Patient exists

Most patients are handed a leaflet and a follow-up date and sent home. We think you deserve more — short, plain-language lessons that fit a real day, with the same depth your clinicians use. Done well, this saves you trips to the ER, saves the system money, and saves your peace of mind.

What you'll get

  • A condition-specific course in plain language, with a 'dig deeper' toggle when you want it
  • Red flags written so you know exactly what to do tonight vs tomorrow vs in clinic
  • A printable Force Field Fact Sheet you can put on the fridge
  • Pretest and post-test that show you how much you've learned
  • Coins, certificates, and a path to invite a Care Partner if you want one

Who this is for

Newly diagnosed

You just got the diagnosis and the leaflet wasn't enough.

Living with it for years

You want a refresher, and a quieter household.

Just discharged

You want to make sure you don't bounce back into the hospital.

Caregiving for someone

You can start as a Care Partner instead — there's a parallel program.

You can stop and resume anytime — your answers are saved on this device.

Step 4 of 5 · Where you are starting

Five quick questions

This is NOT a course exam. It is a baseline snapshot so we — and you — can see what changes over the next weeks.

You're in.

Your first ten minutes are the most important. Pick one of the next-step cards below — it's already personalized to the condition you chose.

Your first 10 minutes

Start here — then pick the others

The pretest is the first step — it captures where you are before any course content, so we can show you what changes. Once it's done, you can come back to this page and pick whichever of the other cards fits your day.
