The overall aim of this training programme is to enhance the knowledge and skills of staff working within primary care to support positive changes to people’s health and health behaviours with the aim of promoting a healthier weight. The healthy weight coach is a voluntary role for individuals working within primary care networks, healthcare practices and pharmacies.
The programme consists of eight sessions which all need to be completed to ensure a healthy weight coach has the confidence and knowledge to have effective conversations with adults and be able to support them in their weight loss journey.
