I became a Health Trainer because I am interested in people’s health. A few years ago I became a walk leader because I wanted to encourage people to be healthier and walking is free and almost everyone can do it.
In February 2005 I was asked to take part I the pilot Health Trainer course. I enjoyed the course and thought this is a job I would love!
When I went to the recruitment day I felt a bit out of my depth as I was taken a back how many qualified people where there. At the recruitment day we were informed about the inequalities of health. I was shocked to find out that if you live in certain parts of Gateshead you would likely die 10 years earlier than someone who lives in a more affluent area.
Encouraging people to take small steps towards a healthy lifestyle we know it makes a big difference. As a member of the Gateshead Health Trainer team I cant wait to see people make positive changes
