Abstract
Health coaching can be used to improve the health of patients. Catherine Best looks at the theory behind health coaching and how the nurse can play a role Health coaching is a concept which focuses on evidence-based clinical interventions, such as motivational interviewing, goal setting, active listening and change management theory, with the aim that patients are supported to self-manage their own health. Health coaching is patient-centred and empowers individuals to make healthcare choices based on what personally matters to them. The practice nurse is in a strong position to utilise their skills, many of which can be attributed to the role of a health coach.
