This training will support TDAs to have confidence in delivering the core competences (knowledge and skills) needed for inpatient tobacco treatment delivery. The course materials support delivery of the newly published NHS-NCSCT Standard Treatment Plan for Inpatient Tobacco Dependence.
Target audience
Course materials are designed for the training of NHS TDAs working with inpatients who smoke in mental health trusts or on mental health wards. The training is also suitable for other health care professionals who will be delivering specialist tobacco dependence treatment to patients admitted to a mental health hospital.
About the training materials
Training materials have been designed for both virtual (via Zoom, Teams) or face-to-face delivery. Course content is also available in modular format so that localities can tailor training delivery to meet local needs.
The training suite includes all the necessary resources for delivering a two-day training course, including:
This page includes resources to support local evaluation of the Tobacco Dependence Adviser training course for inpatient mental health. This includes pre- and post-course questionnaires, a trainer feedback form, and a template course report.

Having a common approach to course evaluation allows us to gain learning and insights that can inform improvements and updates to the suite of training materials.
