We have been working with the Public Records Standards Body to ensure Care Control Systems data records are aligned to their suite of social care standards in terms of how information should be documented and shared in health and care records.

About Me information is the most important details that a person wants to share with professionals in health and social care. This information might include how best to communicate with the person, how to help them feel at ease or details about how they like to take their medication.

For more information on the new feature, please see the following article:
