Membership

  • Membership of the STCA is free but help in kind and financial support in partnership work is encouraged
  • Member organisations can pool resources and expertise in support of their own health and tobacco control objectives
STCA Advocates gain access to networking and training opportunities of benefit to their professional and personal development:
  • access to a weekly STCA Bulletin
  • access to the members' area of the website
  • involvement in planning and attending seminars, conferences, and other opportunities for information exchange
  • opportunities to influence tobacco control and smoking related health policy on behalf of their member organisation through consultations and working groups.

Members are organisations or sections of organisations and are represented by a Member Representative (Mrep). Mreps exercise voting rights in the election of the STCA Coordinating Group.

STCA Advocates
are individuals who wish to register support for tobacco control in Scotland and take a professional interest in shaping future STCA activity. Any organisation or individual wishing to contribute to a holistic approach to tobacco control is welcome.

"We are very fortunate to be a member of the STCA.  It has opened up new channels for us to form relationships with others across the coutry and exchange ideas about practice."  Quote from an STCA Advocate.
