Health coaching helps patients turn medical advice into action. Evidence suggests it can improve self-management, adherence, patient confidence and some clinical outcomes and all this while helping reduce pressure on clinical services.

Health coaching can help patients act on specialist advice between visits, supporting not only self-management but giving consultants clearer insight into progress outside the clinic too. (source: NHS England Supported self-management: health coaching guide)

Health coaching integrated in clinic that supports patients between appointments
Ciao Change provides structured health coaching programmes that help patients implement lifestyle recommendations in their everyday lives.
The coaching focuses on:
-
behaviour change strategies
-
anti-inflammatory nutrition, movement, sleep and stress guidance
-
habit formation with positive reframing
-
accountability and support
This allows healthcare professionals to focus on medical care while patients receive the behavioural support needed to follow through.
The Benefit for Clinics
Clinics benefit from:
✔ Improved patient compliance
✔ Better lifestyle adherence
✔ Increased patient engagement
✔ Improved clinical outcomes
✔ Stronger patient retention
Coaches have a wide knowledge base of health issues and distinct healthcare resources but their area of expertise is not medicine; their expertise is specifically in helping clients build motivation and personalize strategies for behaviour change. Distinctively from other approaches, health coaches are trained to engage patients through the entire process of a behaviour change, rather than only at the beginning when making a plan and at the end when reporting on the plan. (https://drc.bmj.com/content/4/1/e000201)
Many clinics recognise that behavioural support is essential but providing it internally is often difficult due to time constraints and fear of operational overload.
