No smoking on Trust and NHS grounds

After complaints by members of the public, we are reminding colleagues that the Trust follows a no smoking policy throughout the organisation.

This means all employee volunteers and visitors are expected to abide by this policy when on Trust grounds and, when in greens, on NHS premises like hospitals.

The policy forms part of the Trust’s commitment to the safety, health and wellbeing of its staff.

Please note the no smoking policy includes all cigarettes, including electronic.

There is support and advice for smoking cessation available via the Employee Assistance Programme; go to the website www.well-online.co.uk and login using the details: user name - EEASTlogin / password - wellbeing.
