Kate Nash, Lead Respiratory Nurse Specialist, Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust

I am using health coaching in my clinical practice and have been given eight days per year outside of my existing role to train others.

Nina Finlay, Trudi Dunn, Zoe Noble, West Suffolk Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

Each of us noted positive clinical experiences resulting from the application of health coaching skills following an initial two-day training course.

David Sweeting and Kieran Morling, Specialist Musculoskeletal Physiotherapists, East Coast Community CIC

We both work with patients suffering with persistent musculoskeletal pain, many have maladaptive coping strategies that contribute to their symptoms.

Note on language

Health coaching works with all health and care professionals and peers. Our primary audience is the NHS, therefore all of our resources use the term ‘clinicians’ in place of ‘coaches’. Health coaching skills can be used equally by all health and care professionals and peer coaches.

Similarly, although we wish to avoid language which suggests dependency, for clarity we refer to the term ‘patients’ to refer to an individual who is seeking care and support.
