Health and Well-being Coach
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.
The criteria for the service includes all patients living with Diabetes or pre-diabetes and all patients living with a respiratory condition.
The Health Coach offers 1:1 support as well as group exercise sessions and support sessions. Sessions can be conducted virtually, face to face or over the phone according to the patients preference.
Support with the NHS App and Online Services
Support is available from our local Digital Inclusion Team to help patients manage their healthcare by using the NHS App and Online Services to find health advice, order prescriptions, manage appointments, access your COVID pass and much more.
Patients can take control of their healthcare, access services at a time that suits them, and reduces the need for unnecessary trips to the doctor’s surgery.
Paul and Pauline are our local team and they understand this technology can sometimes be daunting. They are committed to providing 1-2-1 support to make things easier, and help overcome some of the barriers you may face.
They can guide you through the process of downloading and setting up the NHS app on your device*, verifying your identity, and technical help with issues such as resetting your password. They can also advise on how to use the key features of the NHS app to suit you.
Don’t let technology hold you back from accessing the healthcare services you need; get in touch with the Nottingham West Digital Inclusion Team today and take control of your health.
