NCL Coaching for Health Training: February to July 2025 - Cohort Dates Available to Book

The NCL Coaching for Health training consists of 2 half-day sessions for all health professionals working in NCL.

It offers a coaching approach that enables health and social care professionals to empower patients and clients to take ownership of their health goals and, by working together, develop a commitment to achieving them.

Studies have shown that this collaborative approach increases the likelihood of positive behavioural and lifestyle changes, producing more effective patient self-management, particularly in long-term conditions.

The course will cover:

  • An introduction to a coaching approach for behavioural change

  • Coaching skills for building openness, trust and willingness

  • Frameworks for structuring brief health coaching interventions

  • Setting effective goals with patients that encourage self-care

  • Shared decision-making and care planning techniques 

  • Working with barriers and resistance to change (cognitive, emotional, behavioural)

  • When and how to use coaching in different settings and in limited consultation times

  • Skills for challenging and dealing with difficult conversations
