North East Stop Smoking Services
• Like most areas of England, the North East established
NHS Stop Smoking Services in 1999
• NE SSS have built up an enviable record of delivery over the last 14 years
• Consistently topping the national table for number of quitters per population size
• Consistently attracting a higher number of smokers into our NHS Services than other regions

Decline in NE smoking prevalence vs. England average since 2003
Since 2005, we have seen NE adult prevalence fall by 9%. That’s around 170,000 fewer smokers. SSS are estimated to have contributed around 0.3% of the fall in prevalence each year

What makes a good SSS??
•Capacity and reach to help as many smokers engage as possible
•Quality of Service (crudely measured by quit rates)
•Reaching key audiences and helping them to quit, thereby tackling health inequalities
•Cost-effectiveness

Is there a correlation between highthroughput and lower quit rates?

Differing Local Models of Delivery
• Clearly there is no “magic wand” solution, and one size
does not fit all
• Even localities with nominally the same SSS model achieve strikingly different results
• But there is significant variation in the service models adopted across the North East as a whole
• And significant variation in outcomes too…..

What NE SSS have in common…
• They all have a dedicated “hub” team at the centre of
the service (although roles/responsibilities differ)
• All these hubs are hosted within traditional NHS settings
• Until January 2013, all SSS consisted of a “specialist” hub provider arm, with a large army of Tier 2 providers
• All SSS offer a combination of evidence-based interventions (e.g. drops-ins, one-to-ones, different settings, range of pharmacotherapies, etc)
![Page 14: The growth of North East Stop Smoking Services: challenges and successes since 1999 Martyn Willmore Performance Improvement Delivery Manager Fresh – Smoke](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56649f205503460f94c38572/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What differences are there….?
• The size of the specialist hub varies significantly
• Also, what is the hub commissioned to do? • See smokers directly? See a target number?• Train and mentor other providers?• Administer reimbursement to other providers?
• Proportion of clients seen by Specialists and Intermediates varies enormously (from 14% to 88%)

What differences are there….?
• Availability of NICE approved pharmacotherapies
o Proportion of clients given Varenicline ranges from 18% to 45%. Regionally it`s 30%
• Variation in 4-week quit rateso Range from 40% to 54% in 2012/13
• Different data systems
• Success levels around pregnancy o Both in terms of quit rates, but also throughput

Challenges
• SSS have, in part, become victims of their
own success. Targets are increasingly stretching
• Local SSS no longer nationally mandated – what happens after 2013/14?
• National context. 2012/13 saw a 13% FALL in quit dates set through SSS in first three-quarters of year
• Specifically, we`ve seen a massive drop in Primary Care activity
• Growth of electronic cigarette market??
![Page 19: The growth of North East Stop Smoking Services: challenges and successes since 1999 Martyn Willmore Performance Improvement Delivery Manager Fresh – Smoke](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020801/56649f205503460f94c38572/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Challenges
• Whilst SSS interventions on an individual level are hugely
cost-effective, we know that they are not the main driver of reductions in overall prevalence
• Fostering an understanding of the role of SSS
• The move towards Harm Reduction
• Linking services to secondary care and using SSS as a key part of chronic disease management
• Raising standards to that of the highest performers regionally/nationally
