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:

• 12-week Personal Health Plans. HWCs will develop bespoke personal health plans with continued support over the 12 weeks. The first appointment lasts for 1 hour, followed by half-hour reviews every fortnight.
• Goalsetting to facilitate behaviour change.
• Nutritional Advice and Education.
• Lifestyle Advice and Education.
