The pressure on primary care has never been greater, with significant demand, declining GP numbers, struggles to recruit and retain staff and knock-on effects for patients. According to the BMA, as of October 2022 there were the equivalent of 1,896 fewer fully qualified full-time GPs compared to the September 2015.
Covered by the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS), primary care has recognised that health coaching is a Supported Self-Management (SSM) intervention that guides and prompts people to change their thoughts and behaviour, so they can make healthcare choices based on what matters to them, This increases patient autonomy and control and ultimately this leads to reduced demand on primary care.
Health coaching services focus on delivering a structured and/or targeted health coaching service for specific groups of patients, supporting them to become more active in their health and care.
This webinar will aim to cover
- National Context – The challenge and why is it needed
- Primary care – Needs and experience of health coaching
- The Emerging Potential – Health coaching outcomes and evidence
- Focus on pain management– Chronic Pain and Opioid reduction best practice
- Outcomes – Patient who has been through health coaching and can speak about their positive experience
