Managing your health online

MyCareView is an online space that you control, powered by software PatientsKnowBest.

It contains your unique health and care information, that can be shared with your GP, hospital or anyone else you invite to see your information. It allows you to:

• See new letters, leaflets or videos shared to support your healthcare

• Communicate with anyone you have invited to see your MyCareView record

• Record your symptoms

• See and act-on any care plans that you might be on

• See upcoming appointments

• Diagnoses

• Allergies and medications

• Monitor your fitness and health by linking your account with your FitBit and other devices.

• Link your account with the NHS App if you are registered with a GP in east cheshire

If you have recently received care, or have an upcoming appointment with Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust or East Cheshire NHS Trust, you can now download NHS App and link it with your MyCareView account. Either hospital may also invite you directly as part of the care they deliver, but as a patient you can now choose when to register by using NHS App, you do not have to wait for an invitation.
