How Know Me works

Share your story once

Know Me helps you build a clear, one-page health summary and share it with the people looking after you. No registration, no jargon, free to use.

Three simple steps

From blank page to a summary your care team can read in seconds.

Tell Know Me what matters to you, how you communicate, and the reasonable adjustments that help. Add as much or as little as you like.

Pick a realistic, illustrated, easy-read, or text-only look so the summary feels familiar for the person it describes. See our images.

Open, print, or email the one-page summary so healthcare professionals understand the person quickly, before or during care.

You decide what to include. Common things people add are:

The people, routines, and preferences that help you feel settled and understood.

How you like to be spoken to, and anything that helps you take part in conversations about your care.

Practical changes that make appointments and hospital stays safer and calmer for you.

Key details you want staff to see quickly, so you don't have to repeat your story.
