The Health and Wellbeing Service aims to help patients in the Nottingham West Primary Care Network take more of an active role in their own health care through structured Health Coaching consultations. There is a focus on changing detrimental lifestyle behaviours with the intent of reducing health risks, improving self-management and symptoms of chronic conditions. The Health and Well-being coach can guide and support patients to set realistic and achievable health related goals to improve quality of life and overall health and wellbeing.
