#AllOurHealth - Wednesday 17th February 2021 6pm (GMT Standard Time) Smoking & Tobacco - UoH

If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple.    Here's a guide





 Chat Details

f  

Hosted by WeNurses using #AllOurHealth

Tweetchat times will be split into three groups organised by birthday:

Group A - January to April Birthdays take place from 6:00pm - 6:30pm

Group B - May to August Birthdays take place from 6:45pm - 7:15pm

Group C - September to December Birthdays take place from 7:30pm - 8:00pm 


Smoking is not a lifestyle choice but a chronic relapsing condition needing treatment. This is recognised by the government's commitment for the NHS in England to become smokefree. Supporting smokers in contact with the healthcare system to quit is a prevention priority in the NHS Long Term Plan and every health and care professional has a role to play.

    
As a healthcare professional, you are best placed to motivate and support smokers on their quit journey. Smokers expect healthcare professionals to ask about their smoking.

   

All healthcare professionals should identify and refer smokers using the method known as Very Brief Advice (VBA) which has 3 components - 'Ask, Advise and Act':

   
1.      Ask and record smoking status: is the patient a smoker, ex-smoker or non-smoker?
2.      Advise on the best way of quitting: the best way of stopping smoking is with a combination of stop smoking aids and specialist support.
3.      Act on patient response: build confidence, give information, refer and prescribe.
    
Different approaches suit different people so if the first thing a smoker tries does not help, they should try another way. We've published guidance HERE to support you in your conversations with patients on what method to choose.

All health and care professionals should be:

   
*         aware of latest guidance and interventions on supporting people to stop smoking
*         able to access learning and development opportunities to support smokers to quit
*         able to support smokers to access local referral and care pathways to stop smoking support
*         able to provide feedback to local commissioners and providers where services are working well and where there are problems accessing support for smokers who want to quit.

  

Here are the questions that we will be exploring during this tweetchat:

  
Question 1:
Why is it important in your specific role to ask people about their smoking status?
What opportunities do you have to deliver very brief advice on smoking?

Question 2:
How are you going to increase your knowledge and confidence to talk to patients about their smoking?
[Have you completed the free NCSCT online module on providing very brief advice?]

Question 3:
Do you know how to refer smokers in your area for specialist support to quit?

Question 4:
What can we do to embed the treatment of tobacco dependency into our services?

Question 5:
What one action can you take to help your patients stop smoking following this Tweetchat?

  

Smoking and tobacco can be quite an emotive topic, especially in social media spaces.  Our top tips for engaging in sensitive topics in social media are:

  

  • Think before you post
  • Respect other people's perspectives
  • It's ok to disagree but do so professionally
  • Remember social media is a conversation and no post / comment should be taken in isolation
  • Ask for clarification / context to someone's post if needed 
  • Remember just because social media is instant this doesn't mean you have to be

 Chat Summary

 

You can see from the engagement well above that the students are now not simply responding to prosed questions but discuss each other's answers too. 

Some of the answers on the lively chats can be seen below:








Students chatted about how they could increase their knowledge beyond the information provided within the All Our Health framework, many had completed the NCSCT eLearning and found it very useful...









It can be a bit of a stretch to ask students about changing practice and a huge leap to talk about where change might add value to how whole services are provided, but they rose to the challenge and clearly have taken some of the key drivers and challenges on board in service planning for smoking...








Chatting about things on Twitter is clearly a great way to share ideas and learn new things, but it is essential to this with the intention of carrying the new learning into practice. The Hull students came up with some great actions from the chat that anybody practicing could adopt, we have just shared a few below...


















 Post Chat Comments

 
After the chat you may like to add a reflection, add some questions, or maybe you've made a change from something you leant on the chat...well now you can with "post chat comments" below.

You'll need to be logged into via Twitter from the main menu, then you can share your post chat comments...

As a health professional , i would listen and motivate them to adapt to new ways that will help them quit smoking. This would be a gradual process until it is achieved. #AllOurHealth

Hello and welcome to today's University of Hulls #AllOurHealth tweetchat on Smoking & Tobacco Lets get started straight away with QUESTION 1 Group A Why is it important in your specific role to ask people about their smoking status? https://t.co/PLVWIrizKm

@WeLearnOutLoud So that we can offer advice and help them stop. Maybe it would be important to know, so we know if there more at risk of illnesses #AllOurHealth

@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:05
@WeLearnOutLoud It's important to know everything we can possibly know about a patient. It may answer questions about things they're presenting with, and it's important for them to know the support available should they want to stop. We can't support people without all the info #AllOurHealth
@Jobee4t
17 February 2021 18:05
@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth It's important to find out if a patient smokes, as they may want to stop. Hospitals and health services also reach a large population of the public who smoke
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:08
@stndemi @Jobee4t do you think you should be explaining why patients might consider stopping, or asking if they have tried and what their barriers might be or are? #AllOurHealth
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:08
@Jobee4t @WeLearnOutLoud Absolutely, but also because it may be vital for their care. I'd be interested to see the stats for how many people admitted to hospital are smokers. #AllOurHealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:10
QUESTION 2 How are you going to increase your knowledge and confidence to talk to patients about their smoking? #AllOurHealth UoH Group A https://t.co/TajNjUZa0w
@Jobee4t
17 February 2021 18:10
@WeLearnOutLoud @stndemi Yes we can only find out if a patient wishes to stop smoking if we ask and then once we're aware of the patients needs/wants we can then support them if needed #AllOurHealth
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:11
@WeLearnOutLoud @Jobee4t I think coaching would be a more appropriate term than 'explaining why'. You can explain why the sky is blue, but it doesn't mean people are going to listen to it. It's all in the delivery and asking that all important why question. #AllOurHealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:12
@stndemi @Jobee4t it has been on a 5% increase recently accoring to NHS Digital a few years back https://digital.nhs.uk/news-and-events/news-archive/2016-news-archive/hospital-admissions-estimated-to-be-attributable-to-smoking-go-up-by-5-per-cent-in-ten-years #AllOurHealth
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:13
@WeLearnOutLoud @Jobee4t That higher than I’d thought it would be! #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth forgot to hash tah??
@VanessaCartled1
17 February 2021 18:14
@WeLearnOutLoud By making sure I am all up to date with training and attending more support sessions if needed to build up my knowledge #AllOurHealth
@Jobee4t
17 February 2021 18:15
@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth I feel I can increase my confidence by completed the NCSCT training and also utilising the guidance for conversations with patients. Increasing my knowledge will increase my confidence.
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:16
@WeLearnOutLoud There are free courses around how to aid people in stopping smoking and talking about it. Practice makes perfect, talk to friends, relatives etc. Every little helps, even if only one thing we say is taken in, that's better than nothing. #AllOurHealth
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:17
@VickyCoxon6 @WeLearnOutLoud Agree, I think it's one of those things that the more you actually do it, the more confident you are! #AllOurHealth
@MassiveBio
17 February 2021 18:17
@stndemi @WeNurses It’s definitely up for interpretation. I think once you haven’t smoked for as long as you smoked you would be a nonsmoker. For long term smokers maybe that wouldn’t apply! #AllOurHealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:18
@Jobee4t Sounds like a plan! Don't forget to add that to your weLearn MyActions :) #AllOurHealth
@Jobee4t
17 February 2021 18:19
@stndemi @WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth Yes and also signposting people to the relevant websites and services that are available for their own education.
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:20
QUESTION 3 What can we do to embed the treatment of tobacco dependency into our services? #AllOurHealth UoH Group A https://t.co/dbFko7Z3Zt
@Jobee4t
17 February 2021 18:20
@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth I already have :-)
@VickyCoxon6
17 February 2021 18:21
@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth yep done it again??
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:23
@Jobee4t Brilliant :) #AllOurHealth
@Jobee4t
17 February 2021 18:23
@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth We can embed tobacco dependency into our services using MECC and utilising time we have with patients to ask the questions and provide the information
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:24
@WeLearnOutLoud It's an addiction and should be treated as such. Taking the time to find out how each patient is feeling and if there's anything they want to talk about. Build that rapport and discuss the support available and what they need. Quitting alone is hard. #AllOurHealth
@Lizzie96331020
17 February 2021 18:24
@WeLearnOutLoud Nicotine replacement therapy, One-to-one and group stop smoking sessions, clinics phone apps #AllOurhealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:25
And finally ... What one action can you take to help your patients stop smoking? #AllOurHealth UoH Group A https://t.co/e2166BPm7q
@Vuyiswa72340752
17 February 2021 18:25
@WeLearnOutLoud some patients will reluctant to ask for help to quit smoking, some may not be aware of the support and services available to help them quit and some may not be aware or may underestimate the dangers to health associated with smoking #AllOurHealth
@VickyCoxon6
17 February 2021 18:26
@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth again ??
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:26
@WeLearnOutLoud Discuss their options and signpost them to the support they feel is best for them. It's important to let the patient make the decisions that they feel are best suited to them. They should be a part of their own care. #AllOurHealth
@Lizzie96331020
17 February 2021 18:27
@WeLearnOutLoud Give them helpful tips that used to stop ?? #AllOurhealth it’s always nice to know your not the only one !!

@VictoriaCredla1
17 February 2021 18:40
@WeLearnOutLoud Listen to the patient, understand their reasons for smoking, advise them of what help is on offer for them, the app looks good. #allourhealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:45
Hello and welcome to today's University of Hulls #AllOurHealth tweetchat on Smoking & Tobacco Lets get started straight away with QUESTION 1 Group B Why is it important in your specific role to ask people about their smoking status? https://t.co/LVx5QpyhPh
@clairebwmn
17 February 2021 18:45
@WeLearnOutLoud As a MH student it's important because smoking actually increases your chance of depression & increases stress & anxiety #allourhealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:45
GROUP B #AllOurHealth What are you going to do differently on tonight's tweetchat to add some value? Have you got your own questions? Some ideas or resources to share???? Let's gooooo
@PhilNeal19
17 February 2021 18:46
@WeLearnOutLoud We should take every possible opportunity to promote health and prevent ill health, but also smoking may be an aggravating factor for their current health visit. #MECC #allourhealth
@WeMHNurses
17 February 2021 18:46
Great #AllOurHealth point Claire :) https://twitter.com/clairebwmn/status/1362110967904092162
@Rebecca62473967
17 February 2021 18:47
@WeLearnOutLoud To see if smoking could be a contributing factor towards their illness and whether some help with their smoking will help their general wellbeing #AllOurHealth
@Jasmine50977999
17 February 2021 18:47
@WeLearnOutLoud Its important to find this out because you can then acknowledge and advise them on better health decisions for now and in the future #AllOurHealth
@StudentNurseMLC
17 February 2021 18:47
#AllOurHealth lengthens life expectancy, decreasing smoking related illnesses so providing stopping health care services will be highly cost effective.
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:47
@guitarlad25 @clairebwmn welcome along to Group B's #AllOurHealth chat..... Any other Group B tweetchatters out there?
@CGadie
17 February 2021 18:47
@WeLearnOutLoud It is important as it increases the chances of many illnesses& can cause different health complications #AllOurHealth
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:48
One last thought before I sign off. Helping people stop smoking is important, and it’s a big public health problem. However, it’s important to treat the person as a whole, find out how they’re feeling and what they need rather than just pushing an agenda. #AllOurHealth #WeNurses
@WaudbyClaire
17 February 2021 18:48
@WeLearnOutLoud It is our role to support and promote a healthy lifestyle therefore it is important to find out an individuals smoking status. #AllOurHealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 18:48
@WeLearnOutLoud It is important in my role to use every opportunity to ask people about their smoking status which can take 30 seconds, as they are twice as likely to succeed if given help by a professional, each brief encounter is an opportunity to plant a seed #allourhealth
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 18:48
@WeLearnOutLoud #AllOurHealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:48
@stndemi great last through Demi :) #AllOurHealth
@StudentNurseTil
17 February 2021 18:49
@WeLearnOutLoud Smoking can be a contributor towards the ill health. Also if they smoke a lot in a day. It’s a good way of opening the conversation around cutting down or stopping. #AllOurHealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:49
@emma_student do you think that there are many 30 seconds spare with patients.... tricky to know yet maybe :) #AllOurHealth
@a_nur17
17 February 2021 18:50
@WeLearnOutLoud I believe it is important in my role as it will allow me to know that individual better and help them out in the most effective way possible. It will make it easier to promote the public health as I'll know the message it being delivered to the correct audience. #AllOurHealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 18:50
@WaudbyClaire @WeLearnOutLoud It is, I think we can sometimes wrongly assume that people already know the best way to quit and choose not to #allourhealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:51
@StudentNurseTil Do you think talking about cutting down is easier than going straight in with talking about quitting? would it lead to a quitting support conversation naturally? #AllOurHealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 18:51
@PhilNeal19 @WeLearnOutLoud Yes, that would certainly make having the conversation easier, as the conversation will be naturally directed to this #allourhealth
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 18:52
@WeLearnOutLoud @emma_student I think it is important to find time for questions such as these, as a persons smoke status affects their chances of needing hospital care in the future, we may be aiding them in preventing further illness #AllOurHealth
@stndemi
17 February 2021 18:52
I've completed module 13 of 25 on University of Hull #AllOurHealth 2020 #AllOurHealth http://welearn.wecommunities.org/PHEuni2020/sharebadge/2414?token=80249020-1da5-4a80-b023-2c0cc9874554
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:54
@Soph_H_0802 @emma_student So it is more about seeing the importance of the 30 seconds... that's a good take away :) #AllOurHealth
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 18:54
@WeLearnOutLoud @StudentNurseTil I think this completely depends on the person, the different methods of quitting smoking (or cutting down) each work for different people #AllOurHealth
@LauraR_StN
17 February 2021 18:54
@WeLearnOutLoud @StudentNurseTil Someone I know was on Champix a while back to help him quit and he was told to continue smoking for a while and cut down gradually because it would be easier for him to quit in the long run #AllOurHealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 18:55
QUESTION 2 How are you going to increase your knowledge and confidence to talk to patients about their smoking? #AllOurHealth UoH Group B https://t.co/I1kro9Y7oO
@StudentNurseTil
17 February 2021 18:55
@WeLearnOutLoud I think so. Because if someone is willing to cut down on their smoking then they may be open to the idea of stopping for good. It’s worked for me in the past when speaking to them about it. #AllOurHealth
@Rebecca62473967
17 February 2021 18:56
@WeLearnOutLoud Making sure my knowledge is up to date and I am aware of the resources available. But also make sure I am sensitive in my approach as this might be more successful #AllOurHealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 18:56
@WeLearnOutLoud Absolutely yes, I think this was displayed in some of the information we have been shown this week. 30 seconds can safe hours or years of healthcare dependancy in later life #allourhealth
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 18:56
@WeLearnOutLoud Become familiar with the facts on smoking, and on the common difficulties many quitters experience, as this can help me to help them deal with them #AllOurHealth
@2020Markham
17 February 2021 18:56
@WeLearnOutLoud #allourhealth
@StudentNurseMLC
17 February 2021 18:56
#AllOurHealth exceeding knowledge and confidence in the subject by undertaking training, reading up about the illnesses which are caused by smoking, listening to people’s stories around smoking.
@Gembopinx
17 February 2021 18:57
@WeLearnOutLoud By making sure I am literacy aware on the harm that smoking does to our health, that way I can promote the benefits of quitting also. #Allourhealth #welearn
@LauraR_StN
17 February 2021 18:57
@WeLearnOutLoud We can use it as a way to start the conversation around stopping smoking, but it can also give us an idea of whether they would be more likely to develop or currently suffer from smoking related illnesses that might need treatment #AllOurHealth
@StudentNurseTil
17 February 2021 18:57
@LauraR_StN @WeLearnOutLoud I found a lot of people when told to stop. They go through the cycle of change a lot more times but that’s just in my experience. #allourhealth
@WaudbyClaire
17 February 2021 18:57
@WeLearnOutLoud By completing the NCSCT online module to gain more knowledge and confidence in talking to my patients. I feel positive in this area being an ex smoker myself :) #AllOurHealth
@lillie_hampson
17 February 2021 18:58
I will increase my knowledge and confidence around the subject of smoking by using the resources and sites on the internet such as NHS sites and the government site to learn about statistics so that i can educate others so they make the best decisions for them. #AllOurHealth
@Savanna78205845
17 February 2021 18:58
@WeLearnOutLoud You’ve got to look at the whole aspect of an individuals, including things like their background aswell as their health, asking an individual about smoking will allow you to give more of a person centred care as your getting to know the individual #allourhealth
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 18:58
@Rebecca62473967 @WeLearnOutLoud Sometimes it is more vital to have a lack of judgment against anyone, as this can help people open up to the paths they can take going forward. #AllOurHealth
@2020Markham
17 February 2021 18:59
@WeLearnOutLoud Making sure I keep up to date with latest information so that my knowledge is at its best and I can relay this accurate information onto patients #allourhealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 18:59
@WeLearnOutLoud I have completed the NCSCT programme along with the motivational interviewing programme, I have a better understanding that patients expect to be asked questions about their maintenance of health and the importance to Ask, Advise and Act #allourhealth
@Rebecca62473967

@WeLearnOutLoud #allourhealth
@a_nur17
17 February 2021 18:59
@WeLearnOutLoud The only way I can do that will be make sure I have learnt the correct information about that public health, and that I am promoting the correct knowledge to my patients. Public Health England is a great way to increase your knowledge about smoking and etc. #AllOurHealth
@CGadie
17 February 2021 18:59
@WeLearnOutLoud By not judging & approaching the situation in the right manner, by keeping myself up to date with all the relevant information & by doing lots of research #AllOurHealth
@Savanna78205845
17 February 2021 19:00
@WeLearnOutLoud Really get to know the individual, allow them to trust you in order for them to fully open up, it’s also important that you are not to judge them for their habits, if you are able to them give them advice. #Allourhealth
@PhilNeal19
17 February 2021 19:00
@LauraR_StN @WeLearnOutLoud @StudentNurseTil That's part of the programme Laura, you are given a stop date to stick too but are able to continue smoking until then, i stopped four years ago using Champix best thing i ever did. Few weird dreams and disturbed sleep but really works. #allourhealth
@Gembopinx
17 February 2021 19:00
@WeLearnOutLoud It is very important as a MH student nurse because we know people with MH are more likely to smoke, this in turn increases the chance of poor physical health as a result. #Allourhealth #welearn
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 19:00
@WaudbyClaire @WeLearnOutLoud May I ask? Did you use any specific methods to help you quit and how beneficial do you think they were? #AllOurHealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 19:00
@MolliePuckerin3 @WeLearnOutLoud It was really good to complete Mollie and really displayed how easy opening up to the conversation can be #allourhealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 19:00
@Soph_H_0802 do you know any common difficulties already Sophie? #AllOurHealth
@VictoriaCredla1
17 February 2021 19:00
@WeLearnOutLoud I think its important not to judge, understanding why people smoke could give you more confidence to start a conversation with patients.#allourhealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 19:01
@2020Markham how do you think you will do that Lauren? Sounds like a good plan... #AllOurHealth
@PhilNeal19
17 February 2021 19:01
@WaudbyClaire @WeLearnOutLoud I stopped 4 years ago with Champix on a programme through east riding council Claire, took some doing but stayed stopped. #allourhealth

@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 19:03
@WeLearnOutLoud Stress is a huge factor in smoking, sometimes it is hard to find a replacement for cigarettes when the rest of your life is still the same. As well as feeling like you are alone in quitting, when this shouldn't be the case for anyone #AllOurHealth

@EmmaKearns15 I definitely think everyone’s different, some people will be willing to change their ways but some people may not even think it’s a problem, that’s why we have to do all we can to spread awareness and give advice, really point people in the right direction. #AllOurHealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 19:04
@EmmaKearns15 Honestly Emma, I think most patients now know the risks but somehow do not acknowledge these, this is where sensitivity in questioning and accurate facts can help #allourhealth

@WeLearnOutLoud Surprises me that 17% of deaths of people over 35 are attributed to smoking! #allourhealth https://t.co/PooKGzPZjV
@CuttingMoira
17 February 2021 19:07
@WeLearnOutLoud we must be aware of someones smoking status as it can be used as an indicator for someone's health. Smoking affects the whole body, so knowing that someone smokes can help us understand what is causing the ill health of the patient #AllOurHealth
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 19:08
@WeLearnOutLoud Honestly, I think progress is already being made, as help on quitting smoking is promoted in say the doctors' surgery and hospitals. Though often, it is left to the patient to reach out for support, and that can be a massive leap #AllOurHealth
@PhilNeal19
17 February 2021 19:08
@WeLearnOutLoud Could it be put onto an assessment form as people are admitted to services eg news2 for example #allourhealth
@WeLearnOutLoud
17 February 2021 19:08
@emma_student @EmmaKearns15 You notice that a good percentage of #AllOurHealth is about the facts, but a lot is about helping understand barriers to change signposting to services and plans too :)
@emma_student
17 February 2021 19:08
@WeLearnOutLoud The training was mainly videos which were very relatable, with evidence to back them up, they were really self explanatory and very genuine, advising not to ask if they want to stop was quite an eye opener as they may then get defensive to why this has not occurred #allourhealth
@StudentNurseMLC
17 February 2021 19:08
#AllOurHealth I think some people don’t understand what smoking can do to the body, or chose to ignore the negatives, until in some cases are too late unfortunately
@LauraR_StN
17 February 2021 19:08
@emma_student @EmmaKearns15 I found this too. Had a look a while back and apparently part of addiction is to do with cognitive dissonance, where two completely opposite thoughts can exist in your head at the same time. It's really interesting #AllOurHealth
@Gembopinx
17 February 2021 19:09
@WeLearnOutLoud We need to make it known that there is help out there for people who want to quit smoking. Promote quitting services and signposting our patients to services that can help. It needs to be treated as a priority, an achievable goal to helping patients to quit smoking! #AllOurHealth
@Jasmine50977999
17 February 2021 19:09
@WeLearnOutLoud We need to let people know that you can get treated for a smoking addiction, we need to promote this through conversations with our patients and advertisement. Nurses need to have the knowledge and skills to deliver this information so we can provide the best health #AllOurHealth
@clairebwmn
17 February 2021 19:09
@WeLearnOutLoud Make sure all professionals are up to date with current research and local information. Make sure it is a standard question to ask patients and also ask again even if help has been refused in the past #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud Bringing awareness through social media will be the easiest way to treat those who have an dependency on tobacco. Social media has proven to us that it is a powerful place and will promote the message appropriately and efficiently. #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud Start the conversation. #allourhealth
@StudentNurseMLC

@lillie_hampson
17 February 2021 19:12
#AllOurHealth an action i could take to help a patient to quit smoking would be to make them aware of how much more successful it is likely to be that they quit if they do it with the help of the support from local services.
@Soph_H_0802
17 February 2021 19:12
@Gembopinx @WeLearnOutLoud I think so many consider it just another question on the forms; "date of birth, name, pregnant?, smoker? " And there isn't enough conversation, in healthcare settings and public #AllOurHEAlth
@StudentNurseMLC
17 February 2021 19:12
#AllOurHealth making sure all information which is given is up to date and correct, making sure that all stop smoking services are shared if the patients want achknowledgment to this.
@clairebwmn
17 February 2021 19:12
@emma_student @EmmaKearns15 I think addiction is more complicated as most addicts are aware of the risks but they need support in changing behaviour. Even though it appears they are making a choice to smoke it is not so clear cut #AllOurHealth
@Gembopinx
17 February 2021 19:12
@WeLearnOutLoud Familiarise myself of all the health benefits of stopping smoking so I am prepared to promote this healthier lifestyle in future conversations with patients #AllOurHealth

17 February 2021 19:12
@WeLearnOutLoud I would recommend the app for patients, talk about what the patient could do with the saved money, but I would remain positive, nobody likes to be told off. #allourhealth
@CuttingMoira
17 February 2021 19:12
@WeLearnOutLoud Find out if they want to quit. it cannot be forced upon somebody. and if someone is willing, we must signpost them to services and resources to aid them, as these increase the chances of achieving their goal to quit #allourhealth
@Rebecca62473967
17 February 2021 19:13
@WeLearnOutLoud Ask them if they want to quit and if they don't then tell them you are here if they want help but don't force them #AllOurHealth

@NurseAdult do you think we should be able to pass their details to help, with their permission, for the help to contact them? #AllOurHealth
@StudentNurseMLC
17 February 2021 19:14
#AllOurHealth also another thought which could be beneficial could be a app which could help stopping smoking which could be anonymous as some patients might feel ashamed of smoking in the first place
@Jasmine50977999
17 February 2021 19:14
@WeLearnOutLoud We need to ask them why and what led them to smoking and get on a deeper level to let them know the side effects of smoking and provide them with different options they can take to help them quit for good #AllOurHealth
@clairebwmn
17 February 2021 19:14
@WeLearnOutLoud Ask the right questions in the right way. Have information to hand and make patients feel supported and not judged #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud It's our job to provide all the information to people who need it, or lead them to the correct people who can. Simply discouraging smoking isn't enough. It's not just about quitting smoking, everyone needs to quit the stigma aswell #AllOurHealth
@emma_student
17 February 2021 19:14

@sky_prestidge @WeLearnOutLoud Definitely and sometimes hearing someone else's ideas and approaches can give you a better understanding of a situation especially if they have been through it and you haven't. #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud My workplace use the health improvement profile assessment. Ask a lot of general health questions and include smoking status. This I find very helpful to engage patients in talking about smoking #AllOurHealth

And finally ... What one action can you take to help your patients stop smoking? #AllOurHealth UoH Group C https://t.co/Gb5gYvKL0n

@stn_seg @WeLearnOutLoud I agree, making sure patients know we are here for them when they need us is very important, they may not feel ready to quit but if they know where to access & who to speak to should they want to stop, it will ease the stress of not feeling they have any support. #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud I’m going to do more research and see what courses are available and make sure I relevant information out to patients. #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud Ensure that ask, advise, act is part of every health professionals training. I notice on the NCSCT video, a patient nearly left their appointment before being asked. Quickly the GP remembered. That may have saved the patient's life #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud We could try to embed the treatment of tobacco dependency in our services just by highlighting support in various ways they can deal with by quitting smoking. #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud Enrole onto more free online courses to broaden my knowledge and skills. Also use social media to provide good quality information to educate the public #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud Listen to them & communicate with them to make sure you can tailor your advice to support them as an individual rather than as a smoker. Giving them information & Resouces can help patients feel less anxious about their decision. #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud One action: research specialist support in my locality and make sure I keep having these conversations to build confidence and embed it into my practice #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud Advise that there is support out there and that this journey is not done in isolation #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud To let patients know of all the services available to them, making sure to listen and support aswell. By having posters, leaflets and other advertisements present, it makes individuals aware of the help they can recieve. #AllOurHealth

@WeLearnOutLoud By listening and asking relevant questions so you can advise them to make the best decisions for their health allowing them to take control #AllOurHealth
@samanth88021421
17 February 2021 20:04
@WeLearnOutLoud The action is by giving advice on various ways to help them quit smoking by the use of nicotine patches and gum and other support. The change of their lifestyle and to recognise the triggers when they need a cigarette. #AllOurHealth
