Smoking cessation services
Stopping smoking is the single most important intervention that can be made in patients with COPD and is important regardless of the severity of the disease.
It's important to reinforce that it’s never too late to quit smoking. No matter how long they have had COPD for or how serious it is, quitting smoking will help slow down the disease and improve their quality of life.
You may have a smoking cessation service commissioned locally or alternatively why not consider setting up your own smoking cessation service in the pharmacy.
Numark have produced a service toolkit which is available to access by clicking here.
