The Healthcare Landscape is Changing
The NHS is under unprecedented pressure. Patient demand is rising, GP appointments are overwhelmed, and chronic disease continues to climb. Meanwhile, a quiet revolution is happening: health coaching is proving to be one of the most effective interventions for sustainable behaviour change and preventative care.
This isn’t about replacing medical care, it’s about enhancing it. From cancer support to primary care consultations and social prescribing initiatives, health coaching is bridging the gap between medical advice and meaningful lifestyle change.
This conference brings together the evidence, the pioneers, and the practical strategies you need to understand and implement health coaching, whether you’re already a coach, a healthcare professional considering it, or someone who wants to bring coaching into your organisation.
What You’ll Take Away
📊 Evidence-Based Insights The latest research on health coaching effectiveness in cancer care, primary care settings, and population health, so you can make the case to colleagues, senior leadership, or clients.
