  • Friday 31 January represented an important milestone for grass-roots #healthcoaching in the UK… and a movement was born. The purpose was clear: to reinforce the importance of maintaining momentum for #health coaching within the NHS. While challenges exist, the growing enthusiasm among professionals, coupled with emerging research and international examples, suggests that health coaching has a vital role in future #NHS care models. The focus now must be on advocacy, collaboration, and evidence generation to ensure coaching becomes a fully integrated, well-supported component of #healthcare delivery.

    Day 3 of helping to celebrate the launch of #lifestylemedicine and #healthcoaching in Georgia! 8am this morning saw Tea Meparidze Evex Deputy CEO and myself (ably supported by Gogi, Evex simultaneous translator) at the Imedi TV studios in Tbilisi for a live interview on Georgia’s most popular channel. In this first step in a huge cultural shift from hospital to community-based whole person healthcare with #healthcoaching at its heart, we presented the case for lifestyle and health behaviour change in a nation-wide public awareness raising campaign. A tour of one of Exex’s newly rebranded polyclinics followed. And guess what? It has not one, but TWO health coaching rooms! This has been the honour and the trip of a professional lifetime. I’m deeply honoured by the trust and faith that this huge healthcare organisation has put in the UK & International Health Coaching Association over the last two years. On behalf of UKIHCA I’m proud to welcome Sarkartvelo (Georgia) into the international health coaching community. And our community will be the richer for it 🙏🏼

    "Well done, Georgia!" – Izabella Natrins feedback after achieving the first milestone and obtaining UKIHCA approval for the Evex Health Coaching Training Course. After this approval, it was a long learning journey, and Evex GPs are now certified professional health coaches. The training course was based on Lifestyle Medicine and coaching skillsets. From today, Evex is ready to become a main partner in your whole health, to obtain health goals in a holistic way, and to make sustainable lifestyle changes with inside-driven motivation. I’m incredibly proud to be part of such a fantastic team. This achievement marks a significant step forward, and it’s amazing to see our collective efforts making an impact on the well-being of the Georgian people. Exciting things ahead! 🚀 #HealthCoaching #Teamwork #EvexHealth #MilestoneAchieved #UKIHCAApproval
