Supporting the NHS Long Term Plan: Evaluation of NHS-funded tobacco dependence services
Principal Investigator: Nazreen Iqbal
Sponsor:  Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne & Wear NHS Foundation Trust
The NHS Long Term Plan is a government policy aiming to tackle smoking through delivering a new service to support smokers to quit, in three settings: acute hospital, mental health inpatients and maternity. Here, smokers who are admitted to any of these settings in England will be offered access to a new ‘stop smoking service’ that includes both behavioural support and medication to help them to quit. Our project aims to investigate how this new service is delivered, and explore its impact on health and care. ​
