_We believe that everyone is better off when patients know best. Today, a patient with a long-term illness benefits from more treatments than ever before. But this care is also delivered by more specialists, more specialised, than ever before. Clinicians need the patient to know what happened with all other specialists to reduce errors and raise quality. And the patient needs to work efficiently with all of these doctors, nurses and relatives who are improving the patient’s health.

At PKB, we help patients to manage their health care. For UK patients, ours is the first company to integrate into the NHS secure network to offer safe tools to work online with clinicians.

Patients using our web site can send and receive messages securely with their doctors and nurses, for example to ask questions about the use of insulin. They can also send and receive health data. For example, patients sending daily blood sugar results to the specialist nurse can get advice on how to adjust their insulin doses. And access to the medical notes, like the three-monthly HbA1c levels, allows the patient to understand their long-term sugar control.

This is how we help patients know best.
