Tobacco Free Lancashire and South Cumbria Workshop

Thanks to colleagues across Lancashire and South Cumbria who attended the ‘Delivering the Tobacco Free Strategy’ workshop on Thursday 14th December 2023 at Lancaster University. The workshop was jointly organised by the Public Health Collaborative and the LSC ICB Population Health Team.

The event, chaired by Liz Petch, Consultant in Public Health at Blackpool Council aimed to:

  • Recap the story so far
  • Review, sense check and prioritise actions for the Smoke Free LSC Strategic Group
  • Think about membership
  • Discuss new investment and agree whether there is potential for collaboration
  • Discuss comms and engagement and agree any short-term actions.

Key Speakers included: Liz Petch, Consultant in Public Health for Blackpool, Trevor Morris, ICB Treating Tobacco Dependency Programme Manager and Rebecca Ramsay, Programme Manager for the Public Health Collaborative.

Following the workshop, the LSC Smoke Free Strategic Group developed governance arrangements and action plans to make sure the strategy is brought to life.

Each recommendation in the strategy has been reviewed and a high level action plan identified actions at system and at place, as well as actions that would best be led by a Local Authority team or an ICB team.

More on next steps soon!
