LINk DEVON - Your voice on health and social care in Devon - Devon Local Involvement Network

South Molton people living with long-term health conditions such as diabetes, asthma, MS and arthritis are to be offered free support from trained tutors to enable them to get the most out of life.

 

Last year 4,000 people in the county successfully stopped smoking after getting help from NHS Devon.

There are currently seven weekly stop smoking clinics in north Devon, run by advisors Gemma Brierley, Richard Coleman-Taylor and Jacqui Beer.

The clinics aim to help people stop smoking with support and advice from specialists and through a range of techniques including nicotine replacement therapy.

 

All NHS trusts are now required to produce annual ‘Quality Accounts' - reports to the public about the quality of services that they provide, with the emphasis on patient safety, effectiveness and patient experience.

Duke Street Dental Practice opened in South Molton at the end of April.
