Health Advisor

A Health Advisor provides expert guidance on health and wellness matters to individuals and organisations. You might work in hospitals, clinics, corporate settings, or community health centres. Health Advisors focus on promoting healthy lifestyles, offering advice on disease prevention, and helping to manage chronic conditions. You’ll develop health education materials, conduct wellness programs, and provide personalised health consultations.

Health Advisors play an important role in improving public health outcomes. You’ll need excellent communication skills, empathy, and a strong understanding of health and wellness principles. You’ll collaborate with healthcare professionals, patients, and the community to ensure that health advice is accessible and effective in promoting well-being.
