National Smokefree Pregnancy Incentive Scheme

Biography

Jane is a senior midwife and lead for Tobacco Dependency programme for NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care and is leading the new National Smokefree Pregnancy Incentive scheme alongside colleagues within Accenture.  Jane is responsible for implementing and embedding this complex programme that’s pioneering in its work, taking a system-wide approach in the implementation of the Long Term Plan, across maternity, acute and mental health services, across local and national footprints.

Jane is passionate about ensuring all those who are pregnant and smoking receive quality stop smoking support, that supports the embedding of saving babies lives, to reduce rates of smoking at the time of delivery. Her goal for the future is that these programmes support tackling the inequalities created by smoking, whilst working towards the national ambition of a smokefree 2030.
