Notice Title

2122-0424 Camden and Islington Community Stop Smoking Service

Notice Description

Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers for the delivery of a Community Stop Smoking Service across the boroughs of Camden and Islington. Current status / Background The Camden and Islington Community Stop Smoking Service (CISSS) has been delivered as a joint service since 2017. Both councils are committed to providing evidence-based services that treat tobacco dependency effectively, help smokers to stop smoking, reduce smoking related health harms and inequality, support residents to stay healthy, and ensure children have the best start in life. The CISSS will contribute to the reduction of smoking prevalence, and as a result increase the ability of communities to live healthier lives. The CISSS model was developed after extensive engagement with stakeholders, and incorporates research from University College London. The model uses a three-tier approach to support (low intensity through to high intensity) to ensure smokers receive the best support to help them stop smoking. The tiers of the service can be defined as: * Tier 1 self-support through online or app-based information and printed media to those smokers who want to quit without face-to-face support. * Tier 2 brief support (minimum two sessions) with appropriate medication provided by trained professionals in community settings. * Tier 3 specialist support with appropriate medication to highly addicted smokers who find it harder to quit so can benefit from an intensive face-to-face intervention and behavioural support. The model has further adapted to take account of the COVID pandemic which resulted in some modifications that received positive feedback from service users.
