Our trusted history
In 1996, husband and wife doctor team Tim and Beverley Kenny launched Patient UK, an online health information directory delivered straight into GP practice computers. That directory of evidence-based clinical information became Patient.info, giving trustworthy health information to the public and health professionals around the world.
In April 2025, Patient.info joined Navigate Health, a UK-based digital health company that helps people through trusted content, digital services and personalised care pathways. Our mission remains the same - to make high-quality health information accessible, actionable and easy to understand.
