Communications Launch

The key points to be clear on for the deployment of PKB for your comms campaign are: 

  • Why - Why have the Trust bought PKB to be their Patient Portal?

  • What - What features of PKB will be used first to help patients engage with using their Patient Portal?

  • When - When do you intend to go live with launching the Patient Portal?

  • Who - Who do you need to communicate the launch of PKB with and what are the key messages?

  • How - How will you be inviting patients to register for their record?  

Engaging health and care teams

...

However, registration is a long-term process. As such, your communications campaign should be actively delivered over a 12-24 month period, before continuing to register patients in your business as usual activity.
