Community pharmacy can play an important role in stop smoking support by helping patients continue their quit journey with practical follow-up and encouragement.
Under the NHS Community Pharmacy Smoking Cessation Service, eligible patients may be referred to pharmacy after discharge from hospital to continue the stop smoking programme they started there.
Askern Pharmacy can explain whether the NHS pathway applies and what support options may be available locally.
