Soon, patients will be able to access some of their hospital test results from Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust online through the NHS App and their online patient portal, Patients Know Best (PKB). These results include radiology reports (such as X-rays, CT scans, MRI scans) and pathology results (such as blood tests, biopsies, and urine analyses), which will be shared automatically 28 days after they are finalised.
These new features are being introducing to make healthcare information more accessible, while giving clinicians time to review and discuss results with their patients if needed.
As we prepare for this change, we want feedback from our patients, carers, and healthcare professionals. Your views will help us ensure everyone understands and has the information they need about this new feature when it goes live. Take part in our survey by sharing your thoughts before 13 December 2024.
