Why

...

Medications in a patient's PKB record can be entered directly by the patient or sent by a caregiver, such as a hospital or GP. Accessing this information enhances the ability to provide comprehensive support for the patient’s care.

• In England: PKB integrates with GP records to include prescribed medications. Learn more about this integration here.

• In the Netherlands: Medications are received via MedMij, ensuring up-to-date data is available in the patient’s PKB record.
