The idea
To ensure that service users of cardiac, respiratory
and diabetes services with long term conditions have
the best possible access to the full range of support
options to stop smoking and that staff can confidently
advise and refer for on-going support.
Toolkit
Service user resources:
• Instructions on full range of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
products including subsidised and non subsidised
• Quit card (voucher) for subsidised NRT
• Information on prescription medications (eg: Varencline,
Bupropion)
• Self help quit book (includes workbook, self directed learning tool, progress
diary etc.)
• Pocket card with smokefree service contact details
• Information on range of stop smoking support options
(These resources will equip service users with the necessary skills to manage nicotine
withdrawal symptoms and make behavioural changes to be smokefree)
Training package for staff to provide patient resources
Who benefits and why
Service users of Respiratory, Cardiology and Diabetes Services
identified as currently smoking will consistently receive smokefree
brief intervention and offered smokefree support options.
Service users will be empowered to make the most appropriate
decision about strategies to help them stop smoking by being able
to review the range of effective medications available as well as
the different on-going support options ranging from internet based
programmes to face to face group support programmes. These
decisions can be made from service users’ cultural preferences,
previous experiences with stopping smoking and current needs.
