GP Health & Wellbeing Coaches

Did you know, many GP surgeries now have Health and Wellbeing Coaches? If you think you could benefit, you can ask your GP for a referral.

Health and Wellbeing Coaches work with people one-to-one to set goals that work for them, build confidence and manage conditions like diabetes. Whether you need support with diet, exercise, or managing stress, they may be able to guide you towards practical ways to boost your health.

Your GP can also refer you to programmes run by the Council-funded Better Gyms. These include:

  • Healthwise – a twelve week introduction to physical activity, with one-to-one support and subsidised membership
  • Adult weight management – weekly nutrition workshops alongside access to fitness activities
  • XPLORE – a free eight week programme supporting children aged 4-13 and their families with weight management

Speak to your GP to discuss whether these services are right for you.
