Our team of experienced stop smoking advisors are highly trained in encouraging clients to quit smoking using motivational interviewing techniques and excellent communication skills. We provide support and advice for clients who wish to become smokefree:
- a comprehensive treatment plan of Nicotine Replacement Therapy up to 16 weeks, depending on which pathway is started.
- a harm reduction offer to clients who struggle to set an abrupt quit date. This gives the client much more flexibility with a cut down to quit plan focusing on a reduction in cigarettes smoked per day to help them reach their goal of a quit date.
- specialist advice for pregnancy and young people
