NHS community pharmacies are a great place for patients to receive stop smoking advice and support. Through this service hospitals can refer patients to community pharmacy to continue the stop smoking journey they started in hospital.

The service:

• supports patients who started a stop smoking programme in hospital to continue their journey in community pharmacy upon discharge
• promotes healthy behaviours to service users
