About this standard
Using About Me information has been shown to achieve huge benefits for people including supporting them through hospital appointments or other care which might not have been possible or resulted in adverse outcomes without understanding key ways to work with the person.
The standard is structured to help both professionals find the information about the person quickly and help people to structure the information they wish to share.
