North Staffordshire Combined Healthcare NHS Trust is pleased to launch PatientAide for patients and service users. It is an online tool that allows patients to access their health documents all in one place.

How can I access PatientAide?

PatientAide is accessible through a free mobile app on smartphones or tablets (compatible with Android and iOS) and on an online webpage. To use PatientAide, patients and service users will need to be signed up by their healthcare professional from the trust before they can register with their details on the app.

Key features and benefits

1. Appointment management: Patients can view their upcoming appointments in the calendar and request cancellations directly through PatientAide

2. Health overview: Patients can view their medications, questionnaires, procedures and allergies on PatientAide.

3. View additional resources: Clinicians can make various media available through the app, including key documents, YouTube videos or web links to make sure patients have access to valuable resources to support them.

Liz Mellor, Chief Strategy Officer at Combined Healthcare, is pleased to see PatientAide available for patients and clinicians: “PatientAide aims to help communication between the clinicians and their patients. By putting essential information and tools directly into the hands of patients, this innovative platform is expected to create positive changes in how people manage their health. As PatientAide becomes available, patients who use it can look forward to a more connected, informed, and personalised healthcare experience.”

As NHS staff across the country continue to work under intense pressure, Combined Healthcare will be able to provide crucial support to help improve the wellbeing of local NHS staff, both now and in the future, thanks to a £49,998 grant from NHS Charities Together and NHS England. The grant has been awarded as part of an £11 million programme – which includes a £5 million contribution from NHS England – and is one of 61 ambitious projects across England to receive funding from the programme since its launch in 2024.
The latest digital learning film from Combined - unveiled today - features its Digital Trainer FRED (Finance and Resources Expert in Delivery) explaining the principles and practice lying behind our Cost Improvement Programme (CIP). The film is available in two formats. The first is a traditional 16:9 film, suitable for screens, mobile devices and tablets. The second places FRED in a fully immersive 360 degree virtual reality environment, and can be watched online or for the full immersive experience via a VR headset such as Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest Pro.
