What is Coaching for Health?

A coaching approach enables health and social care professionals to empower

patients and clients to take ownership of their health goals and, by working

together, develop the commitment to achieving them. Studies have shown

that this collaborative approach increases the likelihood of positive behavioural

and lifestyle changes, producing more effective patient self-management,

particularly in long-term conditions.
