The European Network of Quitlines is an initiative aimed at maximising collaboration between those European countries providing Quitline services and helping to develop Quitline services further in European Union and ESFA countries. The Network was founded in 2000 and has grown from six to twenty five members. The aims and objectives of the ENQ are:
• To share expertise and experience of running Quitlines
• To offer assistance to those wishing to establish new Quitlines in Member and Accession countries
• To raise the standards of Quitlines in order to help more smokers in Europe who want to give up
• To examine the range of practice and evidence of success in different states and disseminate this information
• To produce a definitive European Guide to Best Practice
• To develop the ENQ Quality Standard Accreditation across Europe
All partners regularly participate in an extensive and comprehensive training programme, including specialist sessions on:
• Counselling protocols
• Evidence-based treatments
• Minority Ethnic Health
• Smoking and pregnancy
• Recruitment
• Training of staff
• Evidence on effectiveness of telephone counselling
• Motivational interviewing
