Summary
Health and wellbeing coaches predominately use health coaching skills to support people with lower levels of patient activation to develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to manage their health and wellbeing, whilst increasing their ability to access and utilise community support offers. They may also provide access to self-management education, peer support, and social prescribing. Health and wellbeing coaches will take an approach that considers the whole person in addressing existing issues and encourages proactive prevention of new and existing illnesses. They will take an approach that is non-judgemental, based on strong communication and negotiation skills, that supports personal choice and positive risk taking, that addresses potential consequences, and ensures patients understand the accountability of their own decisions.
