Referral Forms

At Be Well Tameside we can support you in your journey to stop smoking, which can massively boost a smoker’s chances of quitting for good.

We offer free and flexible stop smoking support either face to face or through telephone appointments from our specialist stop smoking advisors, as well as, supporting smokers to access quit smoking aids, such as nicotine replacement therapies (patches, gum and lozenges). 

You can get six months free access to 24/7 stop smoking support through the Greater Manchester Smokefree App. Stop smoking support can also be accessed by speaking to your GP or local pharmacy.

Swap to Stop Offer

We are offering residents, workers and those with a GP in the borough who smoke free vape starter kits and up to 12 weeks-worth of e-liquid, alongside behavioural support to help them quit for good. 

Vape kits are another stop smoking aid that complements the already wide range of stop smoking support available for smokers wanting to quit through Be Well Tameside.

If you are aged between 40 and 74, not had a health check in the last five years, and are not on any medication for blood pressure, heart problems or cholesterol, you will be eligible to book in for the free health check.

The check itself takes roughly 30 minutes. During the check you will be weighed and measured, asked to answer questions around your lifestyle, have a blood pressure test, a finger prick test for cholesterol, and a diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk score. 

Having a Health Check ensures that you are aware of your risk of cardiovascular disease. If you are at high risk, there are further steps you can then take, with support, to reduce the chances that you could have a heart attack or stroke.
