Health and Wellbeing Coach: A health and well-being coach is a professional who helps individuals improve their overall health and wellness by guiding them through lifestyle changes and self-management strategies. They work with people to set personalized goals, increase motivation, and develop the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make positive changes. Health and well-being coaches can address a wide range of issues, including physical and mental health, weight management, diet, and activity levels.
Mental Health Adults: A PCN Mental Health Practitioner is a healthcare professional, often working within a Primary Care Network (PCN), who provides mental health support to individuals within the local community. They act as a bridge between primary care and specialist mental health services, offering assessment, support, and signposting for a range of mental health needs.
Mental Health Children: A Children’s Mental Health Practitioner within a Primary Care Network (PCN) is a healthcare professional who provides support and interventions for children and young people experiencing mild to moderate mental health difficulties. They are embedded in GP practices and work to improve access to mental health services for this age group.
Palliative Care Navigator: A Palliative Care Navigator provides support and guidance to individuals and their families facing a life-limiting illness. They help navigate the complexities of the healthcare system, connect individuals with resources, and offer emotional and practical support to improve quality of life during a challenging time.
Children’s Navigator / Social Prescriber:
Children’s Navigators are professionals who support children, young people, and their families in navigating health, education, and social care systems. They help families understand and access relevant services, coordinate care, and provide personalised guidance, especially for those facing challenges in accessing the support they need.
This role is vital in bridging the gap between clinical and community services, with a focus on early intervention, prevention, and whole-family wellbeing.
