NZNO nurses, healthcare assistants and some midwives plan to strike from 9am on Wednesday 30 July to 9am on Thursday 31 July. Patient safety is our priority and our hospitals will remain open. Continue to attend all appointments unless we have contacted you directly to reschedule.
There are several stop smoking programmes available on the West Coast.
The service provides:
We provide a motivating and supportive environment for you to explore your smoking addiction and to make permanent changes.
Up to date information on ways to quit and medications that are proven to help.
We help you explore the reasons you smoke and support you in making positive lifestyle changes to become smokefree for life.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and other medications may help you through the withdrawals, making it easier to quit.
This combined approach has been proven to be more effective to those ready to make this important change in their lives.
