The team (pictured below) is led by our new Clinical Lead for Smoking Cessation, Ceri Peate (far left) and includes 3 dedicated Smoking Cessation Advisors (from left to right) Kathryn Jones, Mary Ann Pryce and William (Alex) Doran who are based across Powys .The team of Smoking Cessation Advisors have extensive experience in supporting clients in their journey to becoming smoke-free and are ready to receive further referrals for their service.

 

Whether it is visiting a local Smoking Cessation Clinic, meeting with other people who are also quitting on a regular basis or having virtual or telephone calls with one of our trained Smoking Cessation Advisors, there is an option suitable for everyone who wishes to give up smoking. The service includes access to FREE nicotine replacement medication. The Smoking Cessation team also work closely with pharmacies across Powys to ensure that clients using the service have as many options available to them as possible.
