Measuring the Impact of Health and Wellbeing Coaches

Tag: testing

  • First sneak peek at the data!

    This month we got an early look at data being collected by one of the Primary Care Networks who are testing the Health and Wellbeing Coaching impact framework with their coachees. The purpose of this early sharing was to check that coaches are able to use the framework template as intended and that there are no unexpected technical issues.

    The shared data indicates that the coaches are able to use the template to successfully capture the data needed for the framework, and no major issues were identified. This increases our confidence that by next summer we will have a really rich, complete dataset that will allow us to do some good analysis on the impact of health and wellbeing coaching on participating coachees.

    Huge thanks to the team at our trailblazer PCN in Stourbridge, Wollescote and Lye for their hard work testing the framework and template! We’ve also been busy onboarding more PCNs from across England into the testing cohort.

  • First test PCNs now live!

    The first PCNs in our testing cohort have been trained and are now testing the framework with real coachees! This is a real milestone for the project, when everyone’s contributions are brought together and we get to see how well things work in practice.

    We’re still expecting some bumps in the road – the stabilisers of our bicycle remain firmly attached – but the feedback from our testing cohort will bring us another step closer to understanding how to measure the impact of Health and Wellbeing Coaches in a rigorous way that encapsulates the key things that coaches and coachees care about.

    The next milestone is the month 3 technical check-in, when we take an early look at the data being collected and discuss early feedback with the testers. You’ll be able to read all about these early findings here!

    There are still a couple of spots remaining on the testing cohort – if you would like your PCN to take part then please contact us for more information.
