From inside the community They work with the patient’s agenda, eliciting from them what they want to achieve and feel is possible, but also providing information that supports lifestyle change. This empowers patients to increase their knowledge and understanding, which is often important for change to take place successfully. Patients are frequently referred by health and other professionals, but they can also self-refer by either emailing directly: EMAIL HERE or contacting Reception. Sue and Terry make an initial phone call to engage with patients, and discuss what health coaching can offer, and confirm if they would like some sessions, (telephone, face-to-face appointments, or sometimes a mixture of both). We offer up to 12 sessions at various intervals, depending on the patient’s preference. Next issue we’ll introduce you to other members of our team who you may not have met before, but until then, enjoy the sunshine! Ashley Moore Paramedic Practitioner/Nurse Manager 27
