          Care Coordinators Conference

          Photo from Rod Long
          For all care coordinators on Wednesday 21 September, 2022 | 09.00AM - 03.00PM

          This FREE, face-to-face conference is for all care coordinators working across Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire who want to improve their skills and knowledge, through facilitated workshops, talks, and networking.

          Over the course of the day, you will:

          • Explore the role of the care coordinator in primary care, and find out how it fits alongside the other personalised care roles
          • Share best practice within small, facilitated groups
          • Network with other care coordinators
          • Find out what training and support is being offered and planned by the Training Hub
          • Discuss the results of the recent care coordinator survey
          • Take part in a mindfulness and wellbeing session, to help you manage the pressures of working in primary care and life!

          Lunch and tea will be provided, free of charge. Unfortunately, no funding can be provided for travel expenses, pay, or backfill for training time, however.

          Where will this be?

          Engineers House,
          The Promenade,
          Clifton Down,
          Clifton,

                  What is a Health & Wellbeing Coach (HWBC)?

                  As part of the PCN multidisciplinary team (MDT), health and wellbeing coaches (HWBCs) use their coaching skills to support patients and service users with lower levels of patient activation in becoming active in reaching their self-identified health and wellbeing goals.

                  As part of their work, HWBCs will:

                  • Work alongside health, social care, community, and voluntary sector providers and MDTs
                  • Provide education and specialist expertise to health staff, thereby improving their skills and understanding of personalised care and behavioural approaches
                  • Raise awareness within a primary care network (PCN) of tools that enable shared decision making (SDM)

                  HWBCs carry out their role using a non-judgemental approach, supporting patients to self-identify existing issues and encouraging proactive prevention of new illnesses. This approach requires strong communication and negotiation skills, in order to promote personal choice and positive risk-taking, while addressing potential consequences and ensuring patients take accountability for their decisions, chosen based on what matters to them.

                  What benefits can they bring?

                  Health and wellbeing coaches (HWBCs) can bring the following benefits to patients and PCNs.

                  For patients:

                  • Increased levels of patient activation and of preventative behaviours / self-management
                  • Overall improvement in health outcomes
                  • Additional time to address patient goals on an individual level, providing more support for them to pursue their own health goals
                  • Shown to improve two-way communication and partnership working

                  For PCNs:

                  • Increased patient activation can enable fewer visits to general practice, reducing demand for practice services
                  • Reported increase in job satisfaction amongst healthcare staff
                  • Less waste on account of unnecessary tests and medication
                  • Long-term, sustained benefits relating to cost reduction and service development

                  Provided by Health Education England (HEE), this page offers a succinct look at the education and training requirements, skills and competencies, and work activities of health and wellbeing coaches (HWBCs).

                  To read it, please click here.

                  What clinical supervision do they need?

                  According to NHS England & NHS Improvement (NHSE /I), primary care networks (PCNs) should ensure that health and wellbeing coaches (HWBCs) have regular access to clinical / non-managerial supervision with both a GP and other relevant health professionals. This is to assist with the emotional impact of their work and guide them on how to effectively deal with patient risk factors.

                  NHSE / I have also stated that all primary care networks (PCNs) should ensure their HWBCs have access to four-day health coaching training, including access to a health coaching supervisor who can directly supervise the HWBCs.

                  It should be noted that health coaching supervision is different from clinical and caseload supervision and one-to-one line management.

                  • Improving people’s knowledge, confidence and skills-levels of ‘patient activation’

                  Are there any requirements to receive ARRS funding?

                  As noted under ‘Is funding available for them?‘, health and wellbeing coaches (HWBCs) can be reimbursed via the Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS). However, to be eligible for this funding, there are requirements that must be adhered to.

                  For instance, as stated in Annex B of the Network Contract Directed Enhanced Service contract specification 2021 / 22:

                  What are the benefits of employing a Health & Wellbeing Coach?

                  Health and wellbeing coaches (HWBCs) can support patients in making positive choices for their health and wellbeing; consequently, they can lead healthier lives and will be less likely to require the services of health and care centres, reducing the burden of ill-health in the patient population.

                  Any sample case studies?

                  NHS England & NHS Improvement (NHSE / I) have provided the following case study on the effects of health and wellbeing coaches (HWBCs) on patients with long-term conditions in Yeovil.

                  A South Somerset GP interviewed as part of the case study had the following to say:

                  “What’s different is probably the perception of what is possible and permissible. We feel in control rather than being an island under attack retreating from the relentless onslaught of demand on one side and reduction in provision on the other.”
