Empowering Future Healthcare Heroes
Introducing the ShinyMind Student Edition – Tailored Mental Health Support for Student Nurses, Midwives and Trainee Nursing Associates
The Student Edition of the ShinyMind app aims to provide round-the-clock access to mental health resources, reflecting the realities of a student nurse and midwife’s life. With features developed to enhance understanding, boost personal growth and help them find their voice and step up, ShinyMind is more than just a support tool; it is a companion in the journey of becoming a healthcare professional.
Built in Collaboration
In partnership with with Edge Hill University, University of Hertfordshire, Liverpool John Moore University and Roehampton University, influential figures like Jess Sainsbury from Florence Nightingale Foundation and a dedicated team of student ambassadors, ShinyMind has tailored a version of the app specifically for student nurses, midwives and trainee nursing associates. This collaborative effort ensures that the app is not only a tool but a part of the student’s journey, designed by those who understand the unique challenges faced by students today.

The ShinyMind app has been a great resource throughout the final year of my nursing degree. The daily inspirational messages have been a consistent reminder for me to take a minute of reflection and check in with myself. As student nurses, it’s so easy to lose yourself as naturally we put the well-being of others before ourselves, the app is easily navigated and has some excellent masterclasses to support you through a range of different stressors. The only thing I would say is I wish I knew about it earlier to help manage the dreaded second-year blues.
