Stop Smoking
Stop Smoking incorporates two separate services.
If you are interested in providing these services in your pharmacy please click here for information on what you need to do.
If you are commissioned to provide the Smoking Cessation Services locally, you should consider if you also wish to provide the new National Advanced Service which will commence in January 2022.
Please note that there is currently a Supply Disruption Alert for Champix (Varenicline) CAS-ViewAlert (mhra.gov.uk). This outlines that there is no planned date for the return of Champix to the market, and provides guidance to healthcare professionals and prescribers on alternative products.
NRT Supply Level 1 Service
NRT supply services, often referred to as level 1, enable pharmacies to supply NRT to a client who has been issued a voucher by a Stop Smoking Advisor.
Stop Smoking Level 2 Service
Stop Smoking Advisor services, level 2, offer a client advice and on-going support in stopping smoking. Only trained and accredited staff can provide Stop Smoking Advisor services to clients.
Staff should attend an update/refresher Stop Smoking course on an annual basis and should retain evidence of attendance.
The National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training http://www.ncsct.co.uk (NCSCT) is a social enterprise committed to supporting the delivery of effective evidence-based tobacco control programmes and smoking cessation interventions provided by local stop smoking services. The NCSCT delivers training and assessment programmes, which may be useful for pharmacy teams providing level 2 services.
