Lead Tobacco And Alcohol Advisor
Band 4
Trosolwg o'r swydd
As Lead Tobacco and Alcohol Adviser you will work within the Trust’s Tobacco and Alcohol Care Team (TACT) to provide a seven day service for admitted patients and their families/carers and staff who require treatment and advice for tobacco or alcohol addiction.
TACT is an exciting service which has introduced tobacco dependency treatment based on the CURE programme at Lancashire Teaching hospitals. This has developed the pre-existing alcohol liaison team to include services for identified smokers. The introduction of the CURE programme has provided a medicalised approach to treating tobacco dependency and provided an on-site service for both patient’s carers and staff.
The role involves working in a team across both sites to ensure our service is responding to referrals and advice for all trust staff. TACT work collaboratively with other teams and you will be required to liaise with other health professionals both within the trust and with our community partners.
You must have the motivation and desire to work with a complex and often vulnerable group of patients to achieve the best possible outcomes, improve the quality of care and contribute to the overarching agenda of tackling avoidable illness, reducing health inequalities and reducing demand on services.
