Health and Wellbeing Coaches (HWBCs) work alongside patients to coach and motivate them. They support them to become active participants in their own care by self-identifying their needs, setting goals, and implementing their personalised health and care plan.

HWBCs may also provide access to self-management, education, peer support and social prescribing.

Your lifestyle has an enormous impact on your health.
