In Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire
Inclusive, collaborative and integrated care services are built on creating the space for people to be heard, take ownership of, and make decisions about their wellbeing. We all want to work together to help people in our communities to live well, and good collaboration is about people connecting.
We are supporting this by encouraging people to ask more questions and listen more. This helps us to see things differently, find purpose and success in our roles, and look after our wellbeing. By asking colleagues what helps them grow, be more well, and be their best, we can help them to feel supported to be and do their best. Coaching can give us healthier communities and healthier colleagues.
We are offering a range of opportunities for people working in our health and care system who are qualified coaches, interested in developing their coaching skills or becoming a coach, and interested in being coached themselves.
This is a collaborative project led by Healthier Together with health and social care organisations in Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire.
