SCAH 2025Commissioned by NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care, Improving Performance in Practice (iPiP) have developed a bespoke workshop to equip tobacco dependence advisors with knowledge and skills to provide evidence-based person-centred tobacco dependence treatment, for people with a trauma history.
The link between adverse or traumatic experiences and addiction is well established. Substances are frequently used as a coping mechanism by people with low self-worth, depression, shame, and inadequacy arising from adversity.
This advanced skills training explores how to adapt standard tobacco dependence treatment interventions for this cohort, aimed at improving outcomes. The workshop includes elements of the NHS Standard Treatment Plan (NCSCT 2024), to ensure high quality interventions based on recommended best practice.
