Decision details

The key health and social care providers in Leeds (Public Health Leeds City
Council, Leeds Community Health Care Trust (LCHT) and Leeds and York
Partnership Foundation Trust (LYPFT)) have been working together with Health Education England (HEE) to develop health coaching as an approach to improve self-care and management within the health and care system in Leeds. ln order to become accredited health coach trainiers, the LCC Public Health Specialists need to work with an experienced trainer from The Performance Coach (TPC) to deliver 2 day health coaching training sessions across the Leeds health and social area system. Once the trainers have completed this final stage, they will be able to deliver the health coaching course themselves without the need for an external provider. This should deliver value for money and improve the approach to health and social care in Leeds.

The request to waiver CPRs is required as TPC are the only provider of the
European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) accredited Train the
Trainer Health Coaching course. An accredited course is essential as it
provides an internationally recognised bench mark of competency for this whole system approach to health coaching. The total cost of this training is Ê26,600 and it involves 5 training sessions (10 days in total) and course materials. The training will start as soon as possible after the approval of this decision and is likely to take place in Autumn 2015.
