How our NHS Stop Smoking service works
Our Stop Smoking Service provides structured, ongoing support tailored to your lifestyle:
1. Initial Consultation
We start with a confidential one-to-one appointment with our trained pharmacist. We discuss your smoking habits, triggers, and previous attempts to quit, and help set a quit date.
2. Treatment Options
Based on your assessment, we can provide treatments that curb cravings and manage withdrawal symptoms. These treatments are often available free of charge or at the standard NHS prescription cost:
- Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
- Stop Smoking prescription medicines (e.g., Varenicline or Bupropion, subject to current guidelines and availability).
3. Ongoing Support
You will receive weekly follow-up consultations for several weeks after your quit date. This regular contact and support is crucial for staying on track, dealing with setbacks, and celebrating your progress. We are here to keep you motivated and accountable.
