What support is available?
The Staff Tobacco Dependency Offer is available to all colleagues at Gateshead Health NHS Foundation Trust, inclusive of colleagues that work for subsidiary companies such as QE Facilities or work on-site while subcontracted from other companies.
Those who get in touch will also be offered the opportunity to access a 12-week, one-to-one support programme with a dedicated stop smoking advisor. If you struggle with a busy schedule or irregular work patterns, free premium access to the Smokefree App will also be provided, enabling you to access 24/7 quitting advice and support at your fingertips.
The support programme provides those who smoke with up to 12 weeks of free Nicotine Replacement Therapy products (NRT) or a refillable e-cigarette package completely free of charge.
