Our Maternity unit is encouraging you to use PKB as we work to give you safe, personalised care at all stages of your maternity journey.
You can use PKB to:
- Message your community team
- View your inpatient/outpatient visits
- Record/track medical diagnoses, allergies, medications, measurements (weight, exercise, height, BP etc) and symptoms
- View a wide range of relevant information in one place
- View and update your 3 Personalised Care Plans – 1. Health and Wellbeing in Pregnancy, 2. Personalised Birth Preferences & 3. After your baby is born
- Keep a journal with any other thoughts, feelings or progress of your health condition (that are not included in your Personalise Care Plans)
- View upcoming and past appointment dates
Other features will be available in the future as we start to use more of PKB, such as:
- Pregnancy, birth and postnatal care summary information
- Appointment letters
- Test results
- Ultrasound scan reports
- Data from wearable devices e.g. Fitbit
It is important to note that PKB is a tool for you to manage your care; it is not an instant service and your community midwife team will not be checking it in real-time. Therefore, this service is not to be used for urgent concerns and you should continue to call Maternity Assessment Unit (01322 428278 / 01322 428280) if you are worried about your own or your baby’s health.
Please read this leaflet for more information about how to use PKB.
