Health Coaching Core Skills
A training programme that provides practitioners with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to incorporate health coaching skills into their work effectively.
The skills are universal and can therefore be applied to all Health and Social Care practitioners to bring about behaviour change, reduce health risks and inequalities and to help patients to navigate the wider health and social care system, empowering people to take greater control over their health and wellbeing.
Our course provides practitioners with the opportunity to develop a toolkit of health coaching and behaviour change skills and principles that they can apply within their work to structure conversations differently, to have better conversations that support self management and to deliver personalised care.
