This presentation aims to introduce a comprehensive guidance document designed to support NHS Trusts to create and manage smoke-free environments and workforces. Aligning to our Greater Manchester strategic vision, our opportunity to Make Smoking History and with a set of guiding principles underpinned by behavioural science, the guide provides tools and strategies to support consistent implementation across all Trusts.
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust successfully expanded its in-house tobacco dependency service into the Emergency Department, utilising the COSTED framework and the Swap to Stop scheme. This innovative approach integrates immediate, patient-centred support for tobacco dependency at a critical intervention point, improving outcomes and reducing smoking-related harm. By embedding this service, we’ve demonstrated how collaboration, efficiency, and sustainability can deliver impactful, high-quality care while addressing health inequalities. This initiative serves as an example of good practice, showcasing how integrated pathways and evidence-based interventions can transform services to meet the Long Term Plan priorities.
The presentation will cover how Trusts in South Yorkshire have established an offer for paediatric patients and their parents/carers who smoke. Sheffield Children’s Hospital are the only Children’s Hospital in the country to be delivering tobacco treatment and two of our Acute Trusts have established service pathways for paediatric patients.
