  A national survey was carried out examining smoking cessation education in undergraduate nursing programmes. The report was presented to NETS in March 2010. A summary is available here ( 4.17MB).
  
  This lead to Schools of Nursing being given Education Resource Packs supporting the ABC model.

• During March 2010 Smokefree Nurses organised a national series of seminars on smoking cessation with well respected New Zealand speakers Hayden McRobbie (1) and Mark Wallace-Bell (2).  Jennifer Percival RCN, a visiting nurse from the UK and Tobacco Policy Advisor at Royal College of Nursing, was the guest speaker.  In February 2011 Jennifer made a return visit to address how to deal with difficult or relapsing patients as well as smoking in pregnancy. Dr. Hayden McRobbie also presented at two of the sessions.
  
  Supporting materials included:

1. Recording of the final seminar with Jennifer and Hayden

2. Slides used by Hayden McRobbie

3. Slides used by Jennifer.  They are predominantly her own with some from Hayden and some from the ABC programme.  These were mixed and matched to suit the audience whom she was addressing.

4. Slides made available by Jennifer which specifically address smoking in pregnancy. (Please note, this presentation was devised for UK midwives which is why some of the references are incongruous but the messages remain applicable to the situation in NZ) 

5. Worksheets used by Jennifer to demonstrate the process of change (Making changes worksheet.doc) and dialogue-openers with those who are resistant to/have issues with change (Smoking cessation Q&A worksheet.doc) or who smoke during pregnancy (Smoking in pregnancy Q&A worksheet.doc).
