Treatment for staff, volunteers and service users
We offer smoking addiction treatment for staff, volunteers and service users. When people refer, they'll have an appointment with a tobacco addiction specialist nurse. The treatment lasts for 12 weeks, with regular appointments with the nurse throughout. Nicotine replacement therapy is available for free, without a prescription or GP appointment.
Training for staff/volunteers
For organisations, we focus on promoting smoke-free cultures and will work directly with your service users to engage them in treatment.
We invite your staff to our Very Brief Advice training, where they can discuss smoking status with people, have knowledge of treatment options, and be able to offer referrals to our service. They can also complete certified NCSCT training to become a smoking cessation adviser.
For more information about our service or to book an introduction and Very Brief Advice session (lasting 60 minutes), please get in touch.
