Non-institutional professionals

What is a non-institutional professional?

A non-institutional professional is someone who provides clinical care to a patient but is not associated with any teams within a PKB organisation. For example, a GP could be added to a patient record as a non-institutional professional if their GP practice do not use PKB.

How do I add a non-institutional professional?

Within a patient record, go to Sharing > Professionals and click ‘Add an individual.’ Complete the form and an invitation will be sent to the professional’s email for them to complete.
