Virtual Health Improvement Practitioner
Is a Virtual HIP Appointment Right for You?
A Virtual HIP session offers short-term, solution-focused, and action-oriented support to help you navigate life’s challenges and enhance your wellbeing. These sessions are designed to empower you with practical tools and strategies to create a personalised plan for self-management.
You don’t need a mental health diagnosis to access this service. It’s suitable for anyone experiencing stress, anxiety, lifestyle changes, health challenges, or emotional difficulties.
What to Expect:
- Evidence-based techniques to support your wellbeing – including managing stress, sleep, mood, and lifestyle.
- Not traditional therapy – instead, it’s focused on immediate solutions and building your confidence to manage independently.
- Collaborative care – your Virtual HIP works alongside your GP and other primary care providers to ensure coordinated support.
- Self-referral available – book directly through your Manage My Health portal.
Important Notes:
- This is not a GP medical appointment or an acute service.
- If you are experiencing a medical emergency or thoughts of self-harm, please call 111 immediately.
