Paediatric teams use PKB to give parents and carers more control over their child’s care and empower them with care plans, a comprehensive library and messaging functionality to self manage their care and health.
# Paediatric Case Study
# Key PKB Features
## Questionnaires
Patients can initiate a questionnaire by clicking Start Questionnaire on their homepage or directly within the NHS App. Once completed, the questionnaire can be sent to a professional or team.
Teams using the questionnaire tool can ensure the outcome of clinical reviews is recorded and the patient has a copy. Teams can also identify patients suitable for virtual appointments or pre-operative assessment questionnaires.

The features include:
- Scoring and calculations
- Branching, allowing patients to complete the parts of the questionnaire that are relevant to them
- Coded fields questionnaires can be mapped to clinical codes
- Patients can save drafts
