Briefly for patients

Your appointment is over. The understanding can stay.

Read correspondence shared by your clinician, with clear language and next steps you can return to.

Briefly helps organise and explain health information. It does not diagnose, treat or replace advice from your clinician.

Two ways to arrive

Received a letter? Start there.

Most people come here because a clinician has sent them something. If that is you, open it first. If you do not have a letter yet, read on. Nothing below asks you to create an account.

One consultation · two editions

The same consultation, written for different readers.

Your clinician reviews and signs one clinical letter for your records. The patient edition comes from the same consultation, written for what you need after the appointment.

Fictional specimen · from the same consultation

We discussed the discomfort you notice when walking uphill.
Further tests have been arranged to understand the cause.
Follow the urgent-care advice your clinician gave you if symptoms change.

A patient edition supports understanding. It may be incomplete or need clarification. The consultation and the clinician’s advice remain authoritative.

How it works

Open. Understand. Keep what matters.

Three steps, and you decide what happens at each one.

01 · OPEN

Open what was shared.

02 · READ

See clear language and next steps.

Medical terms can be explained and key points organised without changing the clinician’s advice.

03 · SHARE

Choose who sees it.

Share only when useful, through the controls provided. Do not treat a shared summary as a substitute for urgent or clinical advice.

Trust is a workflow

Clear boundaries for a sensitive moment.

Permission, access, sharing and limits, stated plainly, so you know what Briefly does and what it does not.

Permission first

Ask before recording. Recording laws vary, and a clinician can decline.

Your access

Use the secure patient account entry to open correspondence sent to you.

Your sharing choice

Share with family or a caregiver only when you choose, using the available controls.

Health boundary

Briefly organises and explains information. It does not diagnose, prescribe, triage emergencies or replace your clinician.

If something is unclear or does not match what you remember, contact your healthcare team rather than relying on the summary alone.
