Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP)Health Coach (HC)
A new service at Epic Health is provided by a Health Improvement Practitioner (HIP) who will be available to see you if stress or routine challenges begin to affect your mental or physical well-being. They can see people of all ages, and help with any type of issue that may benefit from making positive behavioral changes or learning skills to promote mental wellbeing.
Your doctor or nurse may refer you to a Health Improvement Practitioner when you are in the GP clinic. The session will focus on the most important problem for you that day, and support you to develop a plan to improve things.
A community-based health coach who works alongside the HIP is also available.
- Sessions can be face-to-face, via zoom or as a phone consultation
- Meetings take place in the community, at the park, beach or a home visit
- Patients can also self-refer via reception
- Sessions are completely FREE.
