Training and services

eLearning

ASH Scotland has produced the following eLearning training courses: 

  • Understanding Tobacco: a brief 30 minute course for anyone who is interested in finding out a little more about smoking and tobacco. 
  • Behaviour Change: This course takes a brief look at behaviour change and how we can create an enabling environment for people to be inspired towards change.
  • Healthy Body Healthy Mind: this is a course designed for universities and colleges that have signed up to the Healthy Body Healthy Mind Programme (HBHM). 
  • Smoking and Money Advice: This course is designed for money advice organisations, foodbanks and community organisations who offer any type of financial advice and support to clients.
  • IMPACT: this course course focuses on the links between tobacco use and mental health, and forms one element of ASH Scotland’s wider IMPACT project.
  • Children, Carers and Second-Hand Smoke:  this course suitable for anyone interested in finding out more about the effects of second-hand smoke on children.

In addition to the eLearning courses our we also have the following downloadable resources:

  • Tobacco-free resources and activities pack: We have two resource packs, one for schools and one for youth work settings. Both contain interactive activities and resources to equip young people to make confident and responsible decisions on smoking and their health and wellbeing. 
  • Talking to parents about second-hand smoke: This resource is for early years and family support workers, enabling you to run a session talking to parents about the harm caused by tobacco smoke in the home, and what they can do to protect their families.

We can also produce and deliver bespoke training courses for a range of professional groups.  Please contact bscheepers@ashscotland.org.uk to talk more about your training needs. 

Public Health Scotland are a key partner of ASH Scotland who we have worked with on a range of projects.  They have recently developed a suite of eLearning modules and face-to-face training for specialist stop-smoking advisors, pharmacists and pharmacy technicians who have a role in providing ongoing stop-smoking support to clients.

For further information on this tobacco training, please visit Public Health Scotland's Virtual Learning Environment or email hselearningqueries@nhs.net

Other services

ASH Scotland provides a broad range of services to help public, private and third sector organisations address the harm tobacco causes to their clients, staff, service users and communities.

Our professional and highly skilled staff are able to deliver on a wide spectrum of commissioned work, for example:

      • We've adapted a range of our existing support, training and briefings and we are now excited to offer these as a range of online sessions (using either Zoom or Teams)
      • briefing papers on any subject related to tobacco and health, from one-page overviews to tailored briefing papers and evidence reviews to comprehensive policy analysis
      • service audits and development of tobacco policies for services, from schools and youth groups through to mental health projects or family support
      • delivery of tobacco awareness-raising sessions for staff, board members, clients or other groups
      • surveys and focus groups of community interests such as potential service users or young people
      • advice and support for partners to develop local tobacco plans.

We have published a new leaflet setting out the wide range of ways in which we can provide information, guidance and support to enable frontline organisations to engage with their clients on smoking. If you work in any service supporting people then we may have something tailored to help you. 

If you would like further information about any of these areas of work, please contact us on 0131 225 4725 or via enquiries@ashscotland.org.uk.
