The My Care patient portal has reached an incredible milestone, with over 100,000 active users across Northern Ireland now benefiting from its innovative features. This achievement means that service users are the largest active user group on encompass – Northern Ireland’s new electronic care record. My Care the patient portal is powered by Epic, a global leader in healthcare technology.
My Care has been designed to empower people to become partners in their health journeys and it is transforming the way people access and interact with their health information. At present, My Care is only available in Trusts where the encompass system is live, this includes South Eastern Trust (SET), Belfast Health and Social Care Trust (BHSCT), and Northern Health and Social Care Trust (NHSCT).
My Care will become available for patients and service users in both Southern Health and Social Care Trust (SHSCT) and Western Health and Social Care Trust (WHSCT) on 8 May 2025, once they implement encompass. From this date, all patients and service users across the whole region of Northern Ireland will be able to access My Care.
Service users have already shared positive testimonials about the impact My Care has had on their lives. Julie Power, a rare disease patient based in SET, described My Care as “the best way forward” for managing her medical data. She highlighted how the app allows her to communicate seamlessly with multiple consultants, access test results quickly, and stay informed about her care. Julie added, “I feel much more empowered with My Care and much more in control. This is the future.”
Cecil Armstrong, BHSCT service user, encourages everyone to download the app as he states how “it is fantastic to have health records at your fingertips as it becomes available” and Tania Reid, NHSCT service user who recently downloaded the My Care app to view her hospital test results recommends it to all other patients as “it is a really good way to keep on track of your own health care.”
