If you’d like to use PKB with our 'simulated model'‘case study records’ model, the patients’ data would be fictitious, and no real patient would be involved. Our Production server, with real PKB users’ data, is distinct and separated from our Education server, that which the universities use with their students.
If you’d like to use PKB with patient volunteers ('hybrid volunteers role-play' model'), and these patients already own a PKB record, they would need to create a new one for education purposes, on our education server. This record can be the exact copy of the one they have in the production server, but, in order to avoid confusion, it would be accessible only by the university, and not by the real GP and professionals that look after the patient.Our ‘live model’ is the only one which implies the students would be looking at real records of real patient volunteers on our live, Production server. Students would be able to look at the records under direct tutor supervision, but wouldn’t be able to interact with the patients, to ensure safeguarding of the data.
