Working together for smokefree first years – using systemic influence Mary Bell, Assistant Director Maternity& Early Years
CC – the community parenthood hub • Reaching those who aren’t parents already • Who is visiting/ pick-ups/ accessing other things • Social marketing -reinforcing messages from health colleagues to change societal beliefs and values
Admissions to hospital • Most unscheduled are for gastric, respiratory, asthma problems • Glue ear – being explicit about causation & SHS • Meningitis
Opt-out to smoking cessation • Opportunities in partner-sectors ? Who/ state of readiness is referred and by whom ? Brief intervention around SHS

Subliminal acceptance by systems Smoking Smoking in hospital is discouraged. Within some ward areas there is a designated smoking area - FOR PATIENTS ONLY. It is dangerous to smoke near oxygen. SMOKING IS BAD FOR EVERYONE'S HEALTH Visitors are not permitted to smoke anywhere on the hospital premises. For safety do not give matches to patients or leave your relative/friend smoking unattended. (From an NHS Hospital Info website on 5th June 2010) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU97ktde_bg&NR=1
