How can PHR help you?
Managing your care should fit around your life, not the other way around. Personal Health Record (PHR) gives you more control, helping you spend less time at the hospital and more time doing what matters to you.
With PHR, you can update us whenever it suits you – whether you’re at home, on your lunch break, or out for a walk. Instead of waiting for a call, you can complete simple forms and questionnaires through the app. Sometimes, these will replace a phone call, and other times, they’ll help us prepare for your next appointment, making the most of our time together.
PHR isn’t just about convenience – it helps us focus on patients who need extra support. It provides you with information about your condition and guides you through treatment with reminders and prompts to keep you on track.
How do I get started?
You will receive a text message inviting you to use Portasana which looks like this:
Click the link within the text message to download the app and log in with your NHS app details.
If you don’t have an NHS App account, then you’ll need to set one up. This will take a few minutes, it requires you to provide photo ID and record a short video.
