Colleagues can breathe easy as we count down to going smoke free in 300 days

September 7, 2018

Colleagues can breathe a breath of fresh air as the countdown to our workplace becoming completely smoke free begins this weekend.

Saturday 8 September will mark 300 days until a complete ban on smoking across our sites comes in to play and colleagues are being encouraged to kick the habit.

If you want to quit smoking you can now access free stop smoking services during working hours, where you can find support to quit smoking and to improve your health and wellbeing. Alongside traditional coaching and support, 12 weeks of free nicotine replacement therapy to help manage cravings is also available.

Stop smoking clinics are available at Sandwell and City hospitals with sessions taking 20-30 minutes.

  • Sandwell clinic Monday: 8.30am-12.30pm
  • City clinic Tuesday: 9.30am-1.30pm

If you would like to take the opportunity to begin your journey to quitting smoking, contact the Occupational Health and Wellbeing department on ext. 3306 or email jatinder.sekhon@nhs.net.
