Have you recently had an ulcer in your legs healed?
Would you like to take part in a novel, non-pharmaceutical research study, which would assess if a lifestyle programme can prevent the re-appearance of leg ulcers?
Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield Health Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are carrying out a novel, ethically-approved study to explore whether such a programme can take place within the NHS.

Hello.
We are currently looking into developing a programme, which would help va**rs quit va**ng (without returning to ci******es). We are particularly interested in people, who used to be smokers and want to understand why people choose to quit va**ng, what strategies they use for quitting, and what they find difficult in the process.
Are you thinking about quitting va**ng? Or have you tried to quit before? If the answer is yes, we would love to hear from you!
We expect face-to-face or online discussions to last no more than an hour, and you will be compensated with a £25 high-street voucher for your time and insight.
We are particularly interested in speaking with men at this time.
