Quitting Smoking
The surgery offers a stop smoking clinic with our
specialist nurses. They will see you regularly over a 3
month period, prescribe nicotine replacement or other
drugs to increase your chance of quitting successfully
and most importantly provide psychological support.
Studies have shown that willpower alone succeeds 1%
of the time, nicotine replacement 20-30% and combined
with pyschological support 50-60%.

If you are thinking of quitting please contact reception
to make an appointment. We would also recommend
you read Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking in
preparation. Although we think "cold turkey" doesn't
work for most smokers, it is a great preparation to put
your mind in the right place to quit.
Alcohol Problem Drinking and Recreational Drugs
Alcohol is the most commonly used recreational
drug in the world. For most people it is a
pleasurable relaxation, but for a minority it
causes serious problems due to addiction and
impact on their health and personal lives.

We can help you if you have a problem with
alcohol - or any other recreational drug.
Overcoming these problems is a team effort and
we work in partnership with Addaction to give
you the best chance of longterm success. Make
an appointment with your usual GP.

If you are struggling with a family member or
friend with an alcohol problem then there are
support groups you may find useful. If you are
worried that someone has a problem with
recreational drugs, we would recommend the
Talk to Frank website for further information.
