The number of personal health records will increase as more NHS organisations develop them for patients in their areas. Connecting Care is part of a wide range of changes taking place in our area. For example, North Bristol Trust's Major Trauma Centre have a secure electronic portal called 'Patients Know Best'.
This holds the Rehabilitation Prescription for each patient, who are given control to invite and allow clinicians to access their information.
