Health and Wellbeing Coach

Band 4 Health and Wellbeing Coach

Health and Wellbeing Coaches take an approach that considers the whole person in addressing existing issues and encourages proactive prevention of new and existing illnesses.

They use an approach that is non-judgemental, based on strong communication and negotiation skills, which supports personal choice and positive risk taking, addresses potential consequences and ensures patients understand the accountability of their own decisions, making the patient at the centre of every conversation.
