Welcome to Patients Know Best July Edition*!


We're announcing new features coming in August. Details below!
We would love to hear from you. Come talk to us here at help@pa
tientsknowbest.com.
Upgrades to the privacy settings of your medical record
In August, you will see lots of new features for managing the privacy settings of your medical record. We have spent the last year testing these out with medical professionals and with patient groups and we will be proud to show these to you in the next few weeks.
From August, each data point in your record will have one of four privacy labels: general health, sexual health, mental health and social care
Please click here to find out more. 




Upgrades to the consent process
Over the last year we have been working with medical professionals and patient groups to test out a more sophisticated privacy model that splits the record into general health, mental health, sexual health and social care. Consequently, this means that the consent process is changing. We wanted it to allow more choice but maintain ease of use. You will see these new features in August.

Cancer registry records available to PKB patients by end of 2015
We are pleased to announced that we are working with the National Cancer Registration Service (NCRS) and Cancer Research UK to provide all PKB patients access to the national cancer registry by end of 2015. 
Started in 2013, Cancer Research UK, NCRS, and braintrust (a brain tumor support charity) began offering a small pilot of brain cancer patients access to their treatment records through a patient portal. In 2015, the study is expanding and looking to make the national cancer registry data available to any cancer patient in England.
That is why PKB is partnering with them to provide our patients access to NCRS data so that:
"they can see and understand all the information about their health. We also know from previous research that 92 percent of our patients want to make their data available to researchers so we expect that they will want to contribute additional data to the NCRS registry - further advancing cancer research." - Dr. Mohammad Al-Ubaydli, CEO of PKB
