Health Trainers

Health Trainers reach out to people who are in circumstances that put them at a greater risk of poor health.

They work with people to assess their health and lifestyle risks, helping them to build their motivation to change. They facilitate behavioural change and provide motivation and practical support to individuals.

How can Health Trainers help? Trainers can help with:

• Healthy Eating
• Fitness
• Stress / anxiety reduction
• Improving confidence
• Giving up smoking
• Reducing drug / alcohol consumption
• Safer sex guidance

Health Trainers will:

• Plan a programme to suit the individual’s needs
• Help them to stay on track
• Signpost to other services such as Exercise Referral, Health Walks, Vitality and more
• Meet at a convinient time and location for you

If you know someone who wants to improve their lifestyle then a NHS Health trainer may be able to help. The free service is available to anyone over the age of 16 years.
