Full description:
The YorQuit Study is looking at how we can better support people to stop smoking when they attend for lung cancer screeining appointments, helping reduce smoking-related disease. We are looking for someone from Yorkshire who can bring a real-world perspective and help ensure the study reflects the experiences and needs of people who smoke or have smoked.
You do not need research experience – just an interest in improving health and helping shape research that could benefit others.
