30.10.2025- New education specialty at Newcastle University: Physician associate
The Newcastle University's Interprofessional Learning programme has expanded its scope. For the last three years, approximately 70 students annually have been divided into 15 multi-disciplinary groups. While previous cohorts included students from Medicine and Dietetics, in 2025, the program successfully integrated students from the Physician Associate course for the first time. The students' task on PKB involves reviewing custom case study patients and collaboratively filling in a care plan for lecturer review.
We are incredibly proud of our long-standing and successful partnership with Newcastle University. This collaboration has trained numerous students on the PKB platform, ensuring they graduate prepared to use digital patient-centered systems when they begin working for the NHS.
Feedback from the Director of Interprofessional Education for Faculty of Medical Sciences:
“The session went very well, the feedback from the students is very positive and PKB continues to support the sessions remain clinically authentic.”
18.09.2025- New education partnership: Liverpool John Moores University
We are excited to re-establish our partnership with Liverpool John Moores University. After previously collaborating with their Pharmacy school, we have now begun working with the School of Nursing. In October, Master’s students began using PKB, and the faculty plans to expand the project to more nursing students in the near future.
22.07.2025- New education partnership: AlMaarefa University (Saudi Arabia)
In July 2025, we successfully welcomed AlMaarefa University in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the Education Programme. In October 2025, nearly 200 Health Science students became active users of PKB. They are currently reviewing case study patients (with conditions such as asthma and breast cancer) and filling in SOAP care plans for them. The University plans to roll out PKB to more courses soon.

9.12.2024 - New education partnership: University of Nottingham
We are delighted to welcome a new university to the programme: the University of Nottingham Faculty of Medicine and Health Science. Planning and setup are currently underway for their adoption of PKB in future academic years. We are engaging with both the Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy and are optimistic about the opportunities for meaningful integration of PKB into their curricula.
10.07.2024 - Education Programme 10th anniversary
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of our ‘Education Programme’ in 2024, we interviewed Professor Hsu, who pioneered the use of PKB at the University of Leicester. Joining him was one of his early students, Dr. Ethan Maltlyn, who shared how being trained in PKB has shaped his current approach to partnering with patients:
22.02.2024 - New education partnership: University of Winchester Nutrition and Dietetics course
While our collaboration with the nursing and physiotherapy schools at the University of Winchester continues to flourish, February 2024 marked the inaugural use of PKB by the Nutrition and Dietetics BSc program.
The lecturer chose some case study patients from the pool provided by PKB, did some alterations to them, and made them available for students undertaking the Nutrition and Dietetics simulated placement.
The students registered to the Education side of PKB, simulating their role as professionals. They are instructed to review two patient cases on PKB every week, each presenting a variety of conditions along with pertinent test results, measurements, allergies, and medications, and they are tasked with developing a careplan for the patient. The latter was developed by PKB based on the ‘Dietetic care record’ provided by the lecturers, which in turn will be able to review on the platform how the students filled that in.
