Who are we?
Bassetlaw Stop Smoking Service is a FREE NHS stop smoking service that helps anyone who lives, works or is having treatment in Bassetlaw and is ready to stop smoking.
What do we do?
We offer an individual support service for any smoker who wants to stop. We give non-judgmental advice, ongoing support for as long as is needed and access to treatments such as nicotine patches or gum. We can also give you information on specific stop smoking medications that are currently available via your GP, in conjunction with support from a stop smoking advisor.
What services do we offer?
We offer a variety of support services to suit everyone; from groups to one-to-ones; from Specialist support to GP stop smoking services; individual support for patients in hospital; and home visits for the housebound. We also offer specialist services for pregnant smokers and their families, workplaces and for young people too.
Does it work?
Yes it does! It has been proven that people who use local NHS stop smoking services do much better than those who try to stop smoking on their own. You are four times more likely to stop smoking if you have help from an expert advisor and use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) or other medication.
If you need more information or to arrange an appointment, call an advisor on: freephone 0800 328 8553, or email Smoking.Cessation@bassetlaw-pct.nhs.uk or ask for details at your local GP practice.
