Meet Fran Frankland

I have a Masters in Risk Taking Behaviour and am a qualified trainer. My main areas of interest are developing NHS services to meet emerging public health concerns. In the past, this has included HIV and teenage pregnancy. Following this, I lead on a major project implementing a whole systems approach to reducing the number of women who smoke during pregnancy within the context of meeting NICE guidance and implementing evidence-based practices.

Currently, I project manage a very successful, whole systems approach to reducing the number of babies born to mothers who smoke and supporting pregnant women to quit across Greater Manchester. Included in this, is the implementation of a successful incentive scheme to support women to quit during pregnancy. I designed the scheme over 10 years ago, which has since been successfully rolled out across the North-West and other regions of England.
