 Northwest Wellbeing Programme Lead 

 I'm in charge of the day to day running of the Smokefree services amongst other public health contracts. I have worked in many areas across smoking cessation for more than 17 years and I'm passionate about engaging with knowsley residents and improving their smoking status. Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things many people will do, we like to ensure we have friendly advisors ready to help people achieve their goal of quitting and we tailor that support to suit the client. I am very proud of the team and the quality service they provide to the residents of Knowsley.

 Health Inequalities Lead

I have worked in Knowsley for over 40 years. Following a managerial career in sport and physical activity, I moved to Knowsley stop smoking service in 2013 and trained to become a stop smoking advisor. I have recently taken up the role of 'Health Inequalities Lead' for the service and believe the communities of Knowsley are proud and resilient. Many residents value their community and there are plenty of opportunities to establish valuable working partnerships. I aim to utilise my knowledge and understanding of Knowsley to ensure this happens, and we can work collectively to reduce the number of smokers in the borough.

 Training Co Ordinator

I have over 25 years’ experience across both community and clinical healthcare provision as a practitioner within the NHS, various local authorities, and the private sector. Previously, I have led projects responsible for the creation and implementation of health and wellbeing interventions addressing non-communicable diseases and health behaviours in areas such as smoking cessation and physical activity across the NHS landscape. I believe that my training co-ordinator role at CHCP in Knowsley enhances the already outstanding services we offer to the local community through collaboration and education that aims to reduce inequalities and promote the smokefree agenda.

Angela

Stop Smoking advisor

My name is Angela, I have been working as a stop smoking advisor for  over 19 years. I have always enjoyed working with people. Previously to this role, I had a background in counselling. I worked in a hospital helping people at a difficult time in their lives shortly after their diagnosis, through providing support, information, guidance and referrals, to help them cope with their situation. Making the first step to change any part of your life is not easy, you’re going to have setbacks, doubts and triumphs. For me, being there helping someone keep going to achieve their goal of quitting smoking, is really rewarding! Quitting smoking has such a positive effect on so many parts of people’s lives, including their health, wellbeing and financial situation, of not only yourself, but those around you.  Hearing stories of how well someone is doing and how their family and friends feel about their achievements, gives me job satisfaction.
