Hi

Ive just started a Health Trainers post. Health Trainers care team has just been set up. I'm presently looking into Personal Health Checks/assessment tools health trainers use when carrying out initial assessments with people they support in the community. Just wondering if any Health Trainers who could give me some information about the assessment tools they use or how effective these are tools are in carryting out initial assessments.

many thanks Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
We are starting out after having had 2 health trainers on a pilot scheme a year ago. I am currently exploring the possibility of adapting the personal health plans from Gateshead, Hull and Wakefield. I am in the process of asking permission to use and adapt their plans. There is nationally agreed paperwork that was agreed at the last national hub meeting. Your local hub lead should have info on this. This includes a health assessment.
Best wishes,
Nikki

The personal health plans we use in Hull are OK. However, they could do with an update and a bit of tweaking. I find them too rigid; needs to be more room for notes and comments for each review

Good your are providing good service
