Useful Apps

Sometimes we forget to look after ourselves when we are in roles where we care for others.

There are still a range of confidential, national support offers that all NHS  colleagues can access via NHS England » Supporting our NHS people.

NHS colleagues can continue to access to these resources as detailed below:

Headspace app: Our NHS colleagues now have free access through to 31 March 2025. For those who haven’t yet signed up, you can sign up using your NHS email account here: NHS England » Headspace

Unmind app: free access for all NHS staff for a further twelve months through to 31 December 2024.  For those who haven’t yet signed up, you can sign up using your NHS email account here:  NHS England » Unmind

SHOUT text service: We have extended access to our confidential, text support service.  If you need someone to talk to, you can access support by texting FRONTLINE to 85258 for support 24/7.  This service is available to all our NHS colleagues who have had a tough day, who are feeling worried or overwhelmed, or who have a lot on their mind and need to talk it through.
