Health Trainer - Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

Health Trainer Service
30 minutes · Free

The health trainers work in collaboration with their patients to set realistic, health related goals which focus on improving both their physical health and wellbeing. Through their support, encouragement and motivation, the health trainer will strive to help the patient achieve long lasting behaviour change and therefore live a healthier life.

The health trainers can help with many elements of health such as losing weight, healthy eating, increasing physical activity and reducing stress.

The service is open to anyone who is aged 16+ who lives in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough or whom is registered with a GP in Cambridgeshire or Peterborough.

However, as the team are health trainers and are therefore NOT dieticians or nutritionists there are some patients who are not suitable for us to see. These are –

  • Any patient who is insulin dependent or who takes insulin (I.e., any type 1 diabetic patient or any patient with type 2 diabetes who takes insulin)
  • Any patient who is morbidly obese – in this case they might be more appropriate for the adult weight management tier 2 programme via Healthy You
  • Any patient with multiple, complex co-morbidities or those who are on a specific diet plan or exercise regime as a result of this
