Free access to Sleepio

NHS England has announced a programme to provide NHS staff with evidence-based digital programmes to protect their mental health during the COVID-19 response. The apps are designed to help maintain healthy sleep, and reduce anxiety.

Sleepio is an automated digital self-help app based on cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia. It was built by Colin Espie, Professor of Sleep Medicine at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences and Co-Founder of digital therapeutics company Big Health. Subsequent research by Espie and his team has demonstrated the efficacy and safety of Sleepio, and provided a platform for recognition of the value of digital therapeutics more widely in the NHS and other workplaces internationally.

Fifteen NHS trusts and six GP practices have already rolled out access to Sleepio and Daylight, an app designed to help with worry and anxiety. These apps have now been made freely available to all NHS employees across the country in partnership with NHS England.  The app was initially rolled out with the held of our Partner Oxford Academic Health Science Network.  read more here
