There are Health Coaches based at 17 GP practices across South Somerset.

They help patients and their families to better understand and manage their existing health conditions and to provide practical advice including diet and fitness. They are also able to research information and signpost patients to local community resources and services that can provide support and equipment to maintain a high quality of life at home.

To date Health Coaches have helped over 18,000 people in the area.

Contact your Practice receptionist to find out how you can see a Health Coach.
