SCeTCH: SUPPORTING SMOKING CESSATION IN THOSE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS 

At this meeting, a collaborative team from London South Bank, Stirling and Cardiff universities will share the findings from their National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) funded trial exploring an e-cigarette intervention for smoking cessation in people experiencing homelessness (Project SCeTCH).

This is the first large-scale randomised controlled trial offering e-cigarettes within homelessness support centres across Great Britain, to people/clients/service users who smoke. Dr Kirstie Soar (LSBU), Dr Allison Ford (Stirling University) and Dr Rachel Brown (Cardiff University), will provide an overview of the intervention, its effectiveness and cost effectiveness as well as the ‘real world’ relevance.

News

Thankyou for this. If a windowless room with the toilet next to your bed, or the street is not where you would want your Nanna discharged from hospital to, it’s not good enough for people experiencing homelessness either

Co-director Matt was on @itvnews tonight exclusively sharing findings from this year's Dying Homeless Project investigation with @krisjepson

We are heartbroken to share an incredibly grim situation across the UK.

Full report published tomorrow morning.

We wish to repeat our statement of solidarity with our nursing and healthcare workers in areas of war and conflict #CeasefireNOW
