Your ShinyMind
Wellbeing Prescription
As a result of benefiting from using ShinyMind personally, clinicians across the NHS have been leading patient trials, supported by NHS England and Improvement, Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) and Public Health England, which have successfully built up evidence to prove ShinyMind can positively support patients with anxiety, depression and other long-term conditions.
This has led to the launch of ShinyMind as a new ‘wellbeing prescription’ digital platform and staff empowerment ‘Shine’ programme to help address the increasing demand upon primary care services, to provide proactive and personalised care to prevent ill-health across the patient populations, and improve the wellbeing of the primary care family as outlined in the NHS Fuller Stocktake report.
A virtuous circle of support
In partnership with Bedfordshire Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care Board and NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit, the Shine Programme was co-created with NHS staff as an innovative wellbeing prescription programme for both patients and primary care staff, delivered alongside ShinyMind which provides personalised psychotherapeutic masterclasses, responsive daily mental health support and health nudges.
How does it work?
‘ShinyMind Prescribers’ are primary care staff who have received wellbeing training and have access to ShinyMind to use. These clinicians are then able to prescribe ShinyMind as a wellbeing resource for their patients, using a unique digital prescribing portal, co-designed with the NHS, to prescribe condition-specific LifePacks to personalise support and empower patients to manage their long-term health conditions better.

How it’s helped patients.
Using this anywhere is helpful, it has made me feel less alone in dealing with stuff, and when I’m stressed it’s like a go to dealing with it.
For me it’s shown me the right path of the start of a new life
It’s been nice to have something to go to when I needed to meditate and write thoughts down.
I go on here when I am anxious and makes me feel like I’ve dropped lots of weight off my shoulders – love, love this app.
