RezlCare has been designed an developed through consultation with NHS Clinical and NHS Psychological Support practitioners.

Patients were involved in reviewing and amending the design and content of RezlCare.  Feedback from patient testing and patient trial users continues to direct our development of RezlCare.

RezlCare has been positively evaluated by senior  NHS practitioners.

Carina Sciences is currently seeking accreditation to enable RezlCare to be available from leading cancer support charities.

Risk Management:   Problems associated with mindfulness are very rare, however there are a small number are anecdotal reports  of problems from researchers.  As such we have set out the warning above – so that those with certain conditions should seek advice before using RezlCare; and so our users may suspend their use of RezlCare and seek advice in the event that they experience any of the listed symptoms.  These requirements are set out clearly in the RezlCare terms and conditions of use.
