Having graduated with a BSc (hons) in nutrition I started my working life as a community weight management nutritionist at NHS South Tyneside. After 2 and a half years, I moved into smoking cessation with NHS Grampian.
I am currently employed by NHS Lothian within a dual role as the Smokefree grounds facilitator at the Royal Edinburgh hospital and as a smoking cessation facilitator within the 2 prisons under NHS Lothian's care. I have been in post now for a year and a half and have contributed to developing the National Specification for prison smoking cessation services in Scotland.
