2. Work as part of a multidisciplinary multi-agency team to promote health coaching and to be ambassadors for Personalised Care and Supported Self- Management, modelling the coaching approach in their work.
3.

4. Collect service user experience and impact of health coaching as part of the delivery of personalised care, using QI methodology where appropriate.
Our mission is to make a positive difference to people's lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve.
