Respiratory Health and Wellbeing Coaches (HAWCs)

Health and wellbeing coaches support people to increase their ability to self-manage, increase motivation levels and commitment to change their lifestyle. They are experts in behaviour change and focus on improving health related outcomes by working with people to set personalised goals and change their behaviours.

 

The service is available to all patients with a respiratory diagnosis (confirmed or suspected) – this includes, but is not limited to: Bronchitis, pneumonia, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and asthma.

 

Patients can self-refer or be referred by a clinician.

 

The service is funded by the NHS and delivered by local community provider Preston North End Community Trust.
