Stop Smoking Service

We need your help!

We want to make South Tyneside Stop Smoking Service even better. To help us do that we want to speak to local people.

We know that you have great links with your community so we'd like to ask you to share a very quick survey with anyone you know who smokes.

There's only 4 questions so it won't take long and their answers will help us to improve our service so we can help more people to quit: 

Care at home

Healthwatch are currently running a survey for people who receive care at home:

Northumbria Police

Northumbria Police are committed to being there when the public need us.

To help us do this, they would like to understand how you would prefer to contact Northumbria Police and hear about your experience if you have visited a front office in one of our police stations in the last 12 months.

Please complete the short survey to share you views:

Period Pain in Teenagers

Wellbeing for Women are working with GPs and Women's Health Expert Dr Sharon Dixon to improve care experiences for teenagers with period pain, so that young people aren't held back by their periods. Almost all girls aged 12-18 experience period pain but worryingly 4 in 10 said this pain is severe. Too many girls are being held back by their periods - missing out on school, sports and social lives.

Sharon wants to hear from young people, about their experience of period pain and what they think matters when it comes to care, services, information and communication about period pain. Using these insights, Sharon and her team will make resources for schools, teenagers and GPs with young people's voices at the heart of them.

Anyone aged 10-19 who's experienced period pain can take part, please go to .
