Health Trainers
Small Steps, Big Difference
What is a Health Trainer?
The Health Trainer service is provided by Bath & North East Somerset's
Primary Care Trust and aims to support local people in making
healthier lifestyle behaviour changes.
Often we have the best intentions to make our lifestyles
healthier but sometimes other things get in the way.
What we really need is that bit of motivation and some practical
ideas to help us achieve a healthier lifestyle.
Do you want to improve your health but not sure how to
go about it?
A health trainer could be the answer. Health trainers are
local people who have been trained to have the skills to help you
make a real difference to your health. They have knowledge
and experience of living and working in your community and
understand how difficult it can be to make healthy
choices.
