Health coaching is proven to help patients manage chronic conditions, improve their overall wellbeing, and adopt healthier lifestyles.
TPC Health is proud to have led the development of Health Coaching since 2008 to support personalised and compassionate care that inspires individuals to self-manage and proactively manage their health and wellbeing.
This Core Skills in Health Coaching programme is designed to support practitioners from all health, care and community sectors to learn how to use coaching effectively in their current roles. The programme provides practitioners with the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of the principles of health coaching and behaviour change, while providing a practical set of tools they can apply immediately to their work.
This is a highly interactive programme with an emphasis on skills practice and development supported by expert input. We will work with participants to help them understand how and where a coaching approach can be used most effectively in their specific role, and to understand the limitations of its application.
