This CERTA Level 1 course forms part of the Healthy Places Programme and enables individuals to champion health within educational, community and workplace settings.
Healthcare is changing. The emphasis is shifting from just treating illness, to promoting good health and individuals taking responsibility for their own health and wellbeing – whether it be quitting smoking, doing more exercise, losing weight, drinking alcohol wisely or eating five pieces of fruit and vegetables a day.
The programme will allow you to become an advocate for health and it will cover health and wellbeing issues in workplace, education and community settings. It will also cover barriers to making lifestyle changes and how to help people make changes to improve their health.
It will equip you with basic knowledge and understanding of the principles of promoting health and wellbeing and of how to direct individuals towards further practical support in their efforts to attain a healthier lifestyle.
