About this Event
What is VBA?
Very Brief Advice is a 30-second conversation designed to be used opportunistically with someone who smokes. It’s quick, simple, and can be highly effective.
Why it matters:
- Delivered correctly, VBA can trigger a quit attempt—either immediately or by planting the seed for future change.
- Routine and repeated delivery to all smokers is key to success.
- Smoking is a chronic relapsing condition; VBA can empower those who have relapsed to try again.
Who is it for?
Training is available for frontline professionals and anyone working with the public in Buckinghamshire, including:
- Volunteers
- Community health champions
- Programme coordinators
- Community and faith organisations
VBA+ saves lives.
When delivered well and routinely, VBA+ has the power to save lives. It is recommended by the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE).
