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.
