"I'm effectively carrying my entire medical history with me wherever I go in the world - and that's very reassuring.”
Jason - Northwick Park, London"My results are published quickly and clearly in a format that I am able to understand."
Dan - Kidney PatientFor patients, and carers, timely access to health information can be challenging, particularly if your care is provided across multiple organisations. Patients Know Best (PKB) provides a secure platform to bring all your health data into a single patient record so you, your healthcare professionals and your carers can view your information as and when it’s needed, such as your appointments and letters test results and GP data, ensuring a more collaborative and co-ordinated approach to your healthcare.
Your PKB record is accessible via website or conveniently through the NHS App! For more information on accessing PKB via the NHS App click here.
Know more. Do more. Live better.
There are many things you can do with your record, but the data you see, and the features you can use, vary depending on how your healthcare provider utilises the platform.

See your record anytime
See all your appointments, medical correspondence, test results, medication lists and care plans, together in one place, wherever you go.
Receive notifications when new information is available, prepare any questions ahead of appointments and manage your health and care in the meantime.
Store your GP Data
As an adult in England you can now store in your PKB record a copy of the data your GP has released, adding to information you access from elsewhere. Initially, you will see diagnoses, medications and appointments, with more data coming later.
To add your GP data, simply log into PKB using your NHS login, and PKB will guide you through the process, including obtaining your permission. For help, watch this video
