Do you want to quit smoking?

August 27, 2021

We are now offering free access to a 12 week smoking cessation programme for Trust colleagues.

Did you know an average smoker spends £242 per week, £2900 per year and £116,000 over a lifetime on smoking.

The stop smoking service provides expert advice, support and encouragement.  With help, you are up to four times more likely to successfully quit smoking.

Colleagues wanting to kick the habit can also access the free smoking cessation services during working hours.

A dedicated one-to-one personal advisor will be available for up to 12 weeks to support colleagues with nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) products offered as part of the service.

Clinics can be accessed via a telephone, though appointments during working hours must be agreed by line managers.  The initial booking session will take 30 minutes and thereafter appointments will take 15 minutes.

Please see contact details for the smoking cessation service below:

Note: Colleagues should contact jatinder.sekhon@nhs.net  or call ext. 5886/3854 for a voucher in order to register for the service.
