Summary
The overarching aim is to support self-management of those newly diagnosed with diabetes or those with an established diagnosis but at rising risk of hospital attendance/admission or complications. The Health Coach will support people to engage with the self-management modalities on offer, recognising digital exclusion where it might occur and taking steps to find solutions to improve confidence in accessing support and self-management of their condition. The health coach will also support contacts to improve their health in other ways, linking them with services such as social prescribing, healthy cooking initiative Bags of Taste, Prevention services such as smoking cessation, weight management or increasing physical activity. The Health & Wellbeing Coach will initially support residents in the Central Neighbourhood, working towards our goal of integrated neighbourhood teams. The service will act as a single point of access for diabetes self-management in this neighbourhood and the health coach will be an integral part of this new and exciting approach to working with people with diabetes. The post holder will work with the individual, MyWay Diabetes (a self-management platform) plus primary, community, prevention, VCSE and secondary care services improving self-efficacy/activation and engagement. The Coach will be upskilled to understand how the MyWay platform works so that they can communicate the benefits and support onboarding especially in those for whom English is a second language, where health literacy is poor or where digital engagement is a barrier
