Reach the people who need you most.

At Expert Self Care, we help the NHS, universities, charities and others enhance their digital support for underserved groups to improve lives and save costs - with award-winning self-care support apps.

Apps are free, simple to share, and easy to implement. They allow you to more effectively address the particular information needs of frequently overlooked groups who might find it hard to engage with you - such as people who self-harm, individuals with eating disorders, students, and young carers.

Offer compassionate, tailored guidance.

People want to manage their health more confidently. But without clear guidance from you and so much misinformation online, it can be difficult to know where to start.

The result: avoidable urgent care contacts, people missing out on available alternative support, and overloaded service teams.

Throw digital lifelines to those who are struggling.
