Abstract
In 2004, England's National Health Service introduced health trainer services to help individuals adopt healthier lifestyles and to redress national health inequalities.
Over time these anticipated community-focused services became more NHS-focused, delivering “downstream” lifestyle interventions. At the same time, individuals’ lifestyle choices were abstracted from the wider social determinants of health and the potential to address inequalities was diminished.
While different service models are needed to engage hard-to-reach populations, the long-term sustainability of any new service model depends on its aligning with the established medical system's characteristics.
