Wellbeing App

Welcome to the Royal College of Emergency Medicine Wellbeing App page. This page provides information on the RCEM Wellbeing App, how to get access, and how to use it to support your wellbeing.

RCEM have partnered with 87%, and alongside a team of psychologists, built a fully customised mental wellbeing app specific to the needs of emergency physicians.

How do I get access to the app?

The College is pleased to be able to provide the app to ED community as well as to RCEM members.

  • Access for ED nurses is provided (via collaboration with the RCN, further information can be found here)
  • RCEM members please email wellbeing@rcem.ac.uk to be sent an access code for the App
  • If you are not an RCEM member / do not have an RCEM account then get free access to the RCEM wellbeing app by completing the form here.

Clinical Leads for ED’s across the UK have been asked to make all eligible staff aware so that they can be invited to use the app.

The app is already available to all RCEM members – please email wellbeing@rcem.ac.uk if you would like us to resend your access code.

  • Once you have your access code you will be prompted to download the app and create an account. You may choose any email address you wish. Once registered, you’ll have full access to the app and its resources.
  • The app contains a wellbeing questionnaire that measures 7 dimensions of mental wellbeing. You can choose to focus on the specific dimensions pertinent to you, or complete every section to receive a full view of your overall mental wellbeing.
  • After you’ve completed your questionnaire, you’ll receive a score in each dimension and bespoke guidance for how to improve or maintain your health in certain areas. You’ll be encouraged to remeasure every 90 days to stay on top of change over time.

+ How do I know this app is helpful?

How do I know this app is helpful?

This app was built by a team of psychologists who have worked in a wide range of NHS clinical settings. The team has built an evidence-based, best practice approach to mental wellbeing for staff who work in the NHS, as well as more widely.

The wellbeing assessments are psychometrically valid and using Cronbach’s alpha, the reliability of each measure ranges in strength from 0.68 – 0.80. The assessments in the app were built under the guidance of Psychiatrist and Professor Chris Evans, co-creator of the CORE-OM (Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluations), measures that are widely used in the NHS and other clinical settings.
