Allen Carr - Stop Smoking Services

Description

Stop Smoking Services for Norfolk. Contract to provide support to people to quit smoking. The service will operate within a collaborative system, working closely with specialist, hospital, and community-based stop smoking services to ensure seamless support and continuity of care. Integration across services will enable effective triage and tailored interventions for individuals, ensuring no one falls through the gaps. While the service itself is drug-free and does not provide pharmacotherapy, it will refer individuals seeking such support to appropriate alternative providers. Similarly, in the absence of formal guidance on quitting vaping, the service will signpost individuals to local or national resources and remain responsive to emerging evidence or policy changes. Guided by principles of accessibility, equity, and quality, the service will adopt a Making Every Contact Count (MECC) approach, promote healthy lifestyles, and consider the broader household context in its engagement. It will also actively support the Norfolk Tobacco Control and Vaping Alliance to strengthen the county's tobacco control efforts.
