To help improve psychological care and outcomes for young people who self-harm, a team at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust is implementing and evaluating a self-management smartphone app, specifically designed for young people aged 12 to 17 who self-harm. At the time of self-harm, almost all young people are on their own, but nearly all have access to their mobile phone. The smartphone app will provide accessible, real-time guidance for young people to help them cope with self-harming urges. The app, Bluelce, has been co-produced with young people who have self-harmed and is designed as an adjunct to therapy. It includes a mood monitoring diary and a personalised self-help menu of mood-lifting activities, including music and photo libraries, physical activities, audio-taped relaxation and mindfulness exercises, identification and challenging of negative thoughts, and distress tolerance activities. BlueIce records mood and mood lifting usage/helpfulness. After use, young people are asked to re-rate their mood and are routed to emergency numbers if they are still feeling an urge to self-harm. To ensure that this project is effectively implemented, a need has arisen for a project manager to set up a project management team including smartphone app specialists who will execute the project as required. A total of 20 staff members have been selected from various departments.

who should be included in the project team and how that team needs to be structured and managed to ensure the project is implemented successfully?
