Cecilie Dambo, Tobacco Control Project Manager at NHS Lothian, shares an overview of the Quit Your Way service which can support people to stop smoking tobacco, and invites Edinburgh Advice Members to attend a short information session about the service which will take place online, on Thursday 4th December. Edinburgh Advice Network and the Edinburgh Local Employability Partnership are hosting the session.
Quit Your Way
Quit Your Way is an advice and support service for anyone looking for help to stop smoking tobacco.
Our team of friendly practitioners can offer support over a 12-week period either over the phone or at one of our in-person sessions around Edinburgh. The practitioner will discuss smoking habits, behaviour changes, advice on what has worked for others and offer motivational support throughout the 12 weeks.
When appropriate, we will also request medications that can help make the quit more comfortable and increase the chances of successfully stopping and staying stopped. If the individual doesn’t want behavioural support from us, there is also the option of going to a local pharmacy to receive stop smoking medication through the Quit Your Way pharmacy scheme.
We can also provide you with resources about stopping smoking and look at opportunities for partnership working. Please email us on loth.smokefreeedinburgh@nhs.scot and we will be happy to arrange this.
If you or someone you know would like to get in touch with our service to get some support and advice around stopping smoking, you can either call our office in Pennywell All Care Centre on 0131 286 5113 or you can email loth.quityourwayservicenhslothian@nhs.scot.
