The Quitting Edge programme
Quitting Edge (QE) – a long-term initiative to support HCPs and SSSs in providing high quality advice, support & treatment
QE takes a pragmatic approach to share real-life examples and learnings from peers and colleagues across the country
It focuses on the role of engagement and collaboration in helping deliver on the ambitious targets set
HCP - Healthcare Professional3
Emma CroghanDirector of Public Health and Lifestyle Services, North 51
4
We know footfall to SSSs is in decline 1
There might be a number of reasons for this
There is a wide variation in footfall and quit rates from service to service1
Why is that?
5
What does this mean for SSSs?
Still 10 million smokers out there2
16.6% have tried quitting smoking in the last 3 months3
There is an opportunity here, at both secondary care and primary care level to ‘fish where the fish are’
6
How can you make your servicemore visible?
ASK some questions!1. Is it visible to referrers/smokers?2. What do referrers/potential
partners know – and need?
7
Who could you work in partnership with to drive footfall?
An interview with Mary Campbell Stop Smoking and Prevention Coordinator, Western Trust, Northern Ireland
8
The opportunity in secondary care We know that lots of smokers go into secondary care
each year, in England, approximately 1.6m admissions a year are smoking related among adults of 35 years and over4 – plus all the smokers who go with an ‘unrelated’ condition
In a pilot study comprising 1097 patients, 31% of the hospital population were smokers 5 which is considerably higher than the national average (20%)2
Acting on teachable moments – motivation is fluid
9
Emma’s maths
If we assume:20% took the referral, then there would be 320,000 referrals alone from the smoking related admissions group
Every third bed contains a smoker; if 20% take the referral this would mean: A ward of 20 beds at any time at least 6 will be smokers and 1 will take the referral
Therefore: broadly every 100 beds should deliver 5 referrals (minimum) per week on average
10
My current role in secondary care
Coordination of smokefree campus implementation
Planning and coordination of stop smoking services
Develop / design care pathways / clinical
management plans / electronic referral
Develop / implement education programmes within
secondary care – e learning
Leader, manager, clinician, research
11
Encouraging quitters in acute settings
How can you motivate other HCPs in secondary care to get involved in smoking cessation?Be visible, approachable, helpful Feedback to staff on patients quitting
ChallengesTime constraintsReduced in-patient periodsSkill mixIts everyone’s jobSupport for staff to quitGet families to quit
How do you overcome barriers to providing smoking cessation to secondary care patients?Training specific to each specialism Offer training at each opportunityCO monitoring Mentor clinical staff Make referral easy (ex: electronic referral)Immediate access to pharmacotherapy and behavioural support – PGD Use of NRT
PGD - Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis 12
Service collaboration with secondary care Seamless service – continuity of care Contacts for services pre, during and post
admission Adequate NRT given on discharge Posters / fliers on services available Leaflets – benefits of quitting, risks of SHS Motivating smokers to quit – individualise
the information / listen to the client
SHS = Second hand smoke 13
Who can you target in secondary care ?
Liaise with HCPs, Managers, HCAs, support staff Hospital admission – “teachable moment” –
professional and moral duty to help smokers to quit
HCA - HealthCare Assistant
Respiratory, acute medical units, antenatal and post natal, outpatient clinics, paediatrics and neonatal units
14
3 take-home messages
1. Hospital admission – “teachable moment” – professional and moral duty to help smokers to quit
2. Make every contact count 3. Quit for life improvement
15
An interview with Sonia SimkinsPractice Manager, Rowley Healthcare
16
What about opportunities in primary care?
30% of quit attempts were triggered by advice from an HCP7
However, many barriers to working in primary care and we need to be able to sell it into the practice
17
The UK population saw their GP on average 6.4 times in 2013 6
Emma’s maths
Let’s assume a practice of 5,000 patients We can suppose that 20% of them are smokers (as
per national average smoking prevalence2). This means there are 1,000 smokers in this practice
Let’s assume that out of these 1,000 smokers, 700 visit this practice per year
Finally, let’s assume, 20% of those 700 take up the referral…This would equal 140 referrals to a Stop Smoking Service per year for that practice
18
Objectives
Decide as an organisation/practice if helping patients to quit smoking is a priority
Is it a realistic goal? Look at the category of patients!
Is the process manageable from a practice point of view
19
Challenges
All staff must be on board with the project for it to be a success
Referral system should be quick and easy to follow for staff and patients
The clinics need to run effectively It is essential there is a good working
relationship with the advising team All staff to be informed about the project and
have access to the information explaining the service
20
Success?
Referral forms placed in every clinical room Encouragement from referring staff to ensure
patients are on board with the process!!! Efficient correspondence between the
practice and service provider i.e Q51 Referrals managed efficiently by Practice Staff
21
3 take-home messages
1. Referral system2. Efficient correspondence
3. Encouragement from referring staff

Nicorette® Invisi Patch Prescribing InformationPresentation: Transdermal delivery system available in 3 sizes (22.5, 13.5 and 9cm2) releasing 25mg, 15mg and 10mg of nicotine respectively over 16 hours. Uses: Nicorette Invisi Patch relieves and/or prevents craving and nicotine withdrawal symptoms associated with tobacco dependence. It is indicated to aid smokers wishing to quit or reduce prior to quitting, to assist smokers who are unwilling or unable to smoke, and as a safer alternative to smoking for smokers and those around them. Nicorette Invisi Patch is indicated in pregnant and lactating women making a quit attempt. If possible, Nicorette Invisi Patch should be used in conjunction with a behavioural support programme. Dosage: It is intended that the patch is worn through the waking hours (approximately 16 hours) being applied on waking and removed at bedtime. Smoking Cessation: Adults (over 18 years of age): For best results, most smokers are recommended to start on 25 mg / 16 hours patch (Step 1) and use one patch daily for 8 weeks. Gradual weaning from the patch should then be initiated. One 15 mg/16 hours patch (Step 2) should be used daily for 2 weeks followed by one 10 mg/16 hours patch (Step 3) daily for 2 weeks. Lighter smokers (i.e. those who smoke less than 10 cigarettes per day) are recommended to start at Step 2 (15 mg) for 8 weeks and decrease the dose to 10 mg for the final 4 weeks. Those who experience excessive side effects with the 25 mg patch (Step 1), which do not resolve within a few days, should change to a 15 mg patch (Step 2). This should be continued for the remainder of the 8 week course, before stepping down to the 10 mg patch (Step 3) for 4 weeks. If symptoms persist the advice of a healthcare professional should be sought. Adolescents (12 to 18 years): Dose and method of use are as for adults however, recommended treatment duration is 12 weeks. If longer treatment is required, advice from a healthcare professional should be sought. Smoking Reduction/Pre-Quit: Smokers are recommended to use the patch to prolong smoke-free intervals and with the intention to reduce smoking as much as possible. Starting dose should follow the smoking cessation instructions above i.e. 25mg (Step 1) is suitable for those who smoke 10 or more cigarettes per day and for lighter smokers are recommended to start at Step 2 (15 mg). Smokers starting on 25mg patch should transfer to 15mg patch as soon as cigarette consumption reduces to less than 10 cigarettes per day. A quit attempt should be made as soon as the smoker feels ready. When making a quit attempt smokers who have reduced to less than 10 cigarettes per day are recommended to continue at Step 2 (15 mg) for 8 weeks and decrease the dose to 10 mg (Step 3) for the final 4 weeks. Temporary Abstinence: Use a Nicorette Invisi Patch in those situations when you can’t or do not want to smoke for prolonged periods (greater than 16 hours). For shorter periods then an alternative intermittent dose form would be more suitable (e.g. Nicorette inhalator or gum). Smokers of 10 or more cigarettes per day are recommended to use 25mg patch and lighter smokers are recommended to use 15mg patch.Contraindications: Hypersensitivity. Precautions: Unstable cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, renal or hepatic impairment, phaeochromocytoma or uncontrolled hyperthyroidism, generalised dermatological disorders.
