Smoking
Cessation
Smoking
Cessation service was set up in January 2000 and funded by East
London and City Health Authority (ELCHA). This initially six
months project was so successful that we have been running it since
then.
We
work with our partnership organisations
in coordination with ELCHA to provide help and support to those
people in Kurdish and Turkish speaking communities who wish to give
up smoking.
We
provide smoking cessation service in three levels of service including
group meetings, counselling, Nicotin Replacement Therapy (NRT) in
GP surgeries. We accept referrals from health advocates, GPs, other
health professionals, agencies and individuals.
Aims
of the project
- To develop culturally appropriate quit smoking resources
- To develop smoking cessation services to both individuals and
groups
- To identify innovative ways of encouraging smokers to quit
- To advertise services in the community
Our
smoking cessation adviser works at GP
surgeries and health centres in Hackney. We also work
at community centres to raise the awareness of the smoking cessation
services.
