X-PERT Health joins the Spirit Health family
We’re delighted to share an exciting new chapter for X-PERT Health: we have joined the Spirit Health family.
Since X-PERT Health was founded by Dr Trudi Deakin, we’ve been passionate about helping people living with diabetes develop the knowledge, confidence and skills they need to manage their health and live well.
Over the years, X-PERT has grown to become one of the UK’s most recognised and successful providers of structured diabetes education. We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved. The community that has grown around X-PERT, and the many healthcare professionals, organisations, and educators who have been part of that journey.
As Trudi begins her well-earned retirement, joining Spirit Health gives us an exciting opportunity to build on that legacy and take X-PERT Health forward into its next chapter.
Why Spirit Health?
Spirit Health shares many of the things that matter to us at X-PERT: a commitment to improving people’s health through education, prevention, behaviour change and self-management, and a belief in giving people the knowledge and confidence to manage their health.
That shared approach makes Spirit Health a natural home for X-PERT.
Spirit Health’s mission is to make healthcare easy, accessible and affordable for everyone.
Spirit builds long-term partnerships with the NHS and global healthcare allies, working across digital health, medicines optimisation, patient education, and pharmacy.
X-PERT Health’s programmes will sit alongside EMPOWER, Spirit Health’s award-winning structured diabetes education programmes[1].
Together, the programmes will give NHS commissioners and private organisations greater choice and flexibility in how they support people living with diabetes to manage their health and live well.
What does this mean for you?
For our customers, educators and partners, it’s very much business as usual.
Our X-PERT programmes will continue, and our existing contacts, training, resources, licences and current arrangements will all remain the same.
Joining Spirit gives us the opportunity to build on those strong foundations. By bringing together our shared expertise and experience, we can explore how to reach and support even more people in the future.
Looking ahead
This is an exciting moment for X-PERT Health. We’re enormously proud of everything that has brought us to this point. We are looking forward to building on that legacy as part of the Spirit Health family.
“We’re delighted to welcome X-PERT Health to the Spirit Health family. X-PERT is a well-established structured diabetes education provider, strongly aligned to Spirit’s mission to make health easy. We’re excited about the opportunity to bring our strengths together, build on those brilliant foundations and reach even more people, helping them live well and gain the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage their health.”
Chris Barker, CEO, Spirit Health
We’re looking forward to this next chapter and to sharing more with the X-PERT community over the coming weeks.
