Hearing the words “you have cancer” affects more than just your physical health. A cancer diagnosis can impact a patient’s mental health and people living with cancer say that poor sleep, worry, and anxiety impact their quality of life1.
We’re working with Macmillan Cancer Support to offer digital treatments for anxiety and sleep management to cancer patients in the UK - at no cost - day or night, at home or in hospital, without having to wait for in-person therapy appointments. Sleepio and Daylight are our science-backed digital treatments for insomnia and anxiety, and are both available to all newly diagnosed cancer patients (18+).
This new resource page is designed to help you refer digital mental health treatments to those who need it most, by giving you all the materials you need to succeed.
Macmillan’s research shows that anxiety and insomnia significantly impact quality of life for people living with cancer. Patients can now access mental health support without adding more in-person appointments on top of their hospital appointments.
Sleepio and Daylight were built by mental health experts using evidence-based techniques, and are safe and effective non-drug treatment options. In fact, Sleepio is the first ever digital therapy treatment to receive NICE guidance, confirming its clinical and cost effectiveness.
