Staff Health and Wellbeing

In the start of the New Year one of Norcare's latest services, The Health Improvement Project, is now able to offer a full Stop Smoking Service to all clients, staff and volunteers within Norcare.

This means that we are able to support you in stopping smoking and arrange your prescriptions for Nicotine Replacement Therapy, patches & gum etc, without you needing to see your GP (in some cases, where you have certain medical conditions or complications, it may be necessary to consult with your GP).

The Stop Smoking Service is a 12 week programme whereby you meet with your Health Improvement Officer weekly for the first six weeks and then fortnightly for the last six.  However, should you still need some support after 12 weeks then this will be available.

Leaflets will be made available every client, volunteer and member of staff in the coming weeks.

To find out more information please contact Jessie Hope or Peter Taylor on 0191 2299122.
