What is a Health and Wellbeing coach?

Health & Wellbeing Coaches (HWC) can support people with lifestyle advice to help with:

• Improving diet.

• Increasing physical activity.

• Reducing smoking and alcohol intake.

• Support to prevent and/or manage long term health conditions through lifestyle and behaviour changes.

• Helping individuals to take responsibility for their own health and individual health behaviours.

This will be done by:

• Goalsetting to facilitate behaviour change.
