Health Trainers is a service to support local residents who want to have more control over their health, and who want to make health improving lifestyle changes. The NHS West Kent Health Trainers are recruited from our local communities and have a strong working knowledge of local services and programmes and an understanding of local challenges to health.
A Health Trainer can talk with you confidentially about your health related issues and signpost you to a range of local services, projects and programmes provided by a range of local agencies. They can also refer you on to a fully qualified Health Trainer should you want one-to-one support to make a particular lifestyle behaviour change.
