Making a Difference: Research Report on the Impact of Health & Wellbeing Coaches in North East London

Research published on the 26 September 2022 by King’s Business School, King’s College London, shows how Health and Wellbeing Coaches (HWbCs) are inspiring lifestyle changes in patients and having a positive impact in general practice in north east London.

The report looks at the role of HWbCs and their effectiveness in addressing health inequalities and better outcomes for patients.

The report was jointly commissioned by the North East London Health and Care Partnership and The Shoreditch Trust to evaluate the impact that HWbCs are having on the lives of patients. Richard Griffin, Professor of Healthcare Management at King’s Business School interviewed and surveyed HWbCs and the healthcare practitioners they work with, including GPs and Clinical Directors.
