The effects of smoking on health are well known. Giving up smoking is the most important thing any smoker can do for their future health. The Practice offers a smoking cessation service to our patients.

'Support to Stop Smoking'

This service is provided by our Practice Nurses  who have been trained to provide you with the necessary support you will need to stop smoking. . If you want help to stop smoking, speak to the receptionist who will provide you with a stop smoking information pack and book a first appointment for you. At the first appointment you will have an opportunity to discuss nicotine replacement therapy and medication and you may be given a prescription. You will agree a quit date, and thereafter you will have a number of follow up appointments at the surgery to support and encourage you to continue to refrain from smoking.
