Working with smokers
Our Principal Consultant Trainer has over 15 years experience working with smokers including setting up and running services in the NHS.
Whether you want to learn how to raise the issue of smoking in an occupational health setting or see smokers for group or 1:1 support, NRT Direct can develop and deliver a training workshop to suit your needs. Packed with useful tips, the workshop can help boost your confidence of working with smokers and provide some helpful ideas on supporting clients. Delivered at your own site, the bespoke workshop is geared to your level of knowledge and experience and can be conducted in half-day or full day sessions.
Topics include:
- Effects of smoking on health
- Realistic goals
- Setting up and running a cessation group
- Working 1:1
- Motivational skills
- Dealing with relapse
- Case studies – you can also bring your own
- Challenging questions
Workshops are informal, flexible and aim to equip delegates with the confidence to tackle smoking in a new way. Groups are small to encourage active participation but can also be run on a 1:1 basis if necessary. Delegates are encouraged to participate in the development of the workshop before delivery by liaising with the trainer beforehand.
