Why?
• Many long term health conditions are associated with modifiable risk factors
• A very time efficient method
• Opportunistic
• Making every contact count
• Cost effective
How?
• Referral to health coach for series of health coaching sessions
• Opportunistically during consultationsHealth coaching
Key coaching principles and issues to consider:
1. The patient’s assumed resourcefulness
- Can the patient understand and retain the information + weigh up the pros
and cons?
2. A relationship based on mutual trust and respect
- Is the patient being manipulative/dishonest or do they not respect/trust
you?
3. Coaching is about change and action
- The patient must want to address their issue and be prepared to explore itEffective coaching questions
Important things to remember:
Open and short questions
Solution-oriented questions
Pause
Avoid double, triple questions
Start with ‘what’, ‘how’ rather than ‘why’Useful questions to help set goals and explore
motivation
• What is the issue?
• What makes this an issue now?
• What is important to you about this issue?
• How motivated are you to address this issue?
• What part will be most useful to focus on in the next few minutes?
• What do you want ideally?Motivational interviewing (MI)
Definition:
A collaborative, person-centred form
of guiding to elicit and strengthen
motivation to change
ß Spirit of Motivational interviewingMotivational interviewing skills - OARS framework
O pen questions:
• ‘What are your thoughts on this?’
• ‘How confident do you feel about this?’
A ffirmations: positive statements or gestures emphasising strength and abilities
• ‘I really appreciate that you have made the time to focus on this’
R eflective listening
• ‘You mentioned that work has been very stressful, can you tell me more about
that?’
S ummaries
• ‘Can I just check I’ve understood what you are saying?’The ‘Four Processes’ of MI
4. Planning: Supporting patients identify
possible options/opportunities/resources
3. Evoking: Supporting patients in exploring
their situation further
2. Focusing: Identifying a health behaviour-related goal
1. Engaging: Building connection and rapportRapport building techniques
Involves full attention, mutual respect, empathy and a curious, non-judgemental
mindset
Tips on building rapport:
1. Active listening
2. Tone of voice
3. Non-verbal communication (eye contact/nodding/leaning forward)
4. If meeting patient for first time: spend more time with introduction
5. Clear, slow speech with pauses between sentences (call consultations)
6. Emphasise non-verbal communication and look into the camera for video
consultationsChange talk and ‘rolling with resistance’
Change talk = positive language
• What is stopping you from achieving your ideal outcome?
• What needs to happen for this change to become possible?
• What part of this do you have control over?
• What would be different and better for you if you make this change?
• How will you know when you are ready to make this change?
• What is going well/right?
Key skill: ‘Rolling with resistance’
• Allow patients to express resistance without feeling judged or pressuredNext steps
Useful questions to help the patient plan next steps include:
• What are your options?
• How will you decide which option(s) to follow?
• What are your next steps?
• What might get in the way of your plans?
• How could you adapt your plan if need be?
• What resources can you access to help you?
• Who can help support you in your plan of action?
• What would really make a difference to achieve success?
• When will you make a start?
• How will you review your progress?Setting expectations/goals with the patient
1. Practicalities
a) Location? timing?
2. Approach to confidentiality
a) Discuss with patient – may have to be broken in certain
Important situations
aspects to
consider 3. Expectations of the roles of practitioner and patient
a) Be clear from the start to reduce any misunderstandings
b) Healthcare practitioner’s role = from expert to enabler
4. Boundaries of work
a) Limits of competence
5. Keeping a recordSMART goals
Other factors to consider for effective
S pecific goal-setting:
- Importance of goal
M easurable - Motivation
- Alignment with situation
A chievable/attainable - Control
R elevant
T imelyCOM-B model of behaviour change
The model suggests that
behaviour is a result of:
1. Capability (ability –
physical and
psychological)
2. Motivation (reflective
and automatic)
3. Opportunity
(environment – physical
and social)MENTI CODE - 2971165SBA 1

toolsBrief interventions
= a collective term for giving advice to help them change a variety of harmful
behaviours
Opportunistic High-impact skill
Why?
Cost efficient Time efficientStructure of a brief intervention
1. Identification of behavioural risk factor
A. Eg: smoking, physical inactivity, poor diet
2. Explain best method to change this behaviour
A. Eg: regular exercise, smoking cessation,
3. Signposting: how to obtain help
Commonly:
- Smoking
- Alcohol use
- Physical activityExample #1 of a brief intervention
Smoking = VBA (very brief advice) <30 seconds
3 step structure of VBA:
1. ASK
A. Establish and record patient’s smoking status (do you smoke?)
2. ADVISE
A. ‘We found that the best way for people to stop smoking is with a
combination of support and medical treatment’
3. ACT
A. Offer or signpost support and treatment (mention in detail)Example #2 of a brief intervention
Alcohol: IBA (identification and brief advice)
Structure of IBA
1. Identification: who is at risk?
A. U singscreening tools (AUDIT-C)
2. Brief advice
A. Motivational interviewing skills
B. Implementation intention: not just vague commitment (what, where, when
and how)
3. Support: self help or referral to a specialised alcohol service
A. Patient info resources, apps, trackers for alcohol consumptionMECC (Making Every Contact Count)
= An approach to behaviour change that aims to give everyone in an organisation
the tools to promote positive health messages to everyone they encounter
Advantages Disadvantages
- Patients felt there was less of a - Increased workload for staff
barrier when engaging with non- - Requires more training
professional staff
- Flexible approach
- Low cost
- Straightforward
- Improves patient healthAudit-C
Alcohol use disorders identification test = alcohol screen
Scoring: 0-12
1-4 = Low risk
(sensible drinking)
5-7 = Increasing risk
(hazardous drinking)
8-10 = Higher risk
(harmful drinking)
11-12 = Potentially
addicted or dependentSeverity of alcohol dependence questionnaire
(SADQ)
Recommended by NICE - determine severity of someone’s alcohol dependence
https://www.smartcjs.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/SADQ.pdf
SADQ questions cover: Scoring:
• Physical withdrawal symptoms 31 or higher = severe alcohol
• Affective withdrawal symptoms dependence
• Relief drinking 16-30 = moderate dependence
• Frequency of alcohol consumption < 16 = mild physical dependency
• Speed of onset of withdrawal
symptoms A chlordiazepoxide detoxification
regime is usually indicated for
someone who scores 16 or over.Clinical Institute Withdrawal Assessment for
Alcohol – revised (CIWA-Ar)
Used to assess severity of acute,
unplanned alcohol withdrawal
Scoring:
<8: mild withdrawal (pharmacological
tx not necessary)
8-15: moderate withdrawal
(pharmacological tx may be
appropriate to prevent progression)
>15: severe withdrawal
(pharmacological tx strongly indicated)General practice physical activity questionnaire
(GPPAQ)
Used in general practice to gain an objective view on
how active someone is (takes approx 30s)
Questions on:
- Type & amount of physical activity involved in work
- How many hours spent on certain activities during
the last week
- Describe usual walking pace (slow, brisk, steady
average, fast)

What severity of smoking addiction would a patient have if their time to first
cigarette is <30 mins from waking?
1. Low addiction
2. Moderative addiction
3. High addiction
4. Very high addictionSBA 8
What severity of smoking addiction would a patient have if their time to first
cigarette is <30 mins from waking?
1. Low addiction
2. Moderative addiction
3. High addiction
4. Very high addictionSmokingSmoking
Why people might keep smoking:
• Habit
• Boredom
• Stress
• Social
• Taste
• Weight control
• Nicotine addiction
After stopping…
- 24-48h for nicotine to leave body
- 8-12w for nicotine receptors to down-regulateSmoking addiction level
Assessing addiction level:
Time to first cigarette (TTFC)
after waking
Number of cigarettes smoked Wakes at night Very high
per day
> 20 High addiction to smoke addiction
<30 mins from High addiction
10-20 Moderate waking
addiction
30mins – 2hours Moderate
<10 Lower addiction from waking addiction
>2 hours from Lower addiction
wakingCompensatory smoking
Fewer cigarettes may NOT mean less
smoke inhaled
Research: The more heavy smokers
reduced their smoking, the more
exposure they had to toxicants per
cigarette due to more frequent puffs or
deeper and longer inhales.Psychobiology of nicotine addiction
Nicotine has the highest binding affinity at the α4β2
nicotinic receptors
- Smoke takes 7-10 seconds to reach this area
- Leads to rapid release of dopamine (feel-good NT)
Ventral tegmental
area (VTA)
Effect of regular smoking on this dopamine release
- Increase in receptors (long term effect) – enhances addictive effect
‘For most smokers, smoking is a chronic relapsing organic brain disease
and not a lifestyle choice’Treatment of nicotine addiction
Key to management: Examples of NHS trained stop smoking
1. Good support AND advisers:
- Practice nurses
2. Evidence based treatments
- Hospital nurses
Goals of behavioural support: - Healthcare assistants
1. Reduce motivation to smoke - Pharmacists or pharmacy assistants
2. Commitment to abstain - Specialist stop smoking advisers
3. Enhance ability to cope with cravings
4. Ensure effective use of (Standard support regime = 4-6
pharmacotherapy appointments over 6-12 weeks)Evidence based treatment for smoking
3 licensed pharmacotherapy for smoking cessation
1. Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
A. Available in many different forms: skin patches, gum, lozenges, mini
lozenges, inhalator, oral spray, oral film and nasal spray
2. Bupropion (Zyban)
A. Works by modifying dopamine levels and noradrenergic activity
B. Reduces craving and withdrawal symptoms
3. Varenicline (Champix) - most effective
All 3 should be consideredVarenicline mode of action
Works at α4β2 nicotinic receptors in the brain
Part-stimulating
- Relieves craving and withdrawal
symptoms
Part-blocking
- Blunts pleasurable effects of smoking
- Reduces risk of full relapse after
temporary relapseAlternative Unorthodox Treatment: E-Cigarettes
Considered because:
- Far safer than smoking (95%)
- As effective as NRT for smoking cessation
BUT:
- Long term safety not known
- Half of users also smoke
- Controversial and many misconceptions
When is it recommended?
If patients won’t use varenicline, bupropion and
combination NRTs for cessationMENTI CODE - 2971165SBA 9
