Implementing Tobacco Dependency Treatment Services in England-what have we learnt so far?
NHS England is currently implementing a comprehensive programme to treat tobacco dependency in hospitals and maternity services as part of the NHS Long Term Plan. Substantial progress has been made, especially with a seamless treatment pathway between NHS services and community stop smoking services. More needs to be done to embed these services including data collection, to assess their impact and support long term sustainability.

KEYNOTE: Why do we need to sustain treatment services and how are we going to do it?
Thousands of people continue to die from wholly preventable tobacco related disease each year. The addiction to tobacco leads to poverty, ill-health and additional demand on healthcare services. The NHS has a key role in tackling tobacco addiction and sustaining our recently implemented hospital services. This can be achieved through collaborative working between NHS and Public Health teams, a relentless focus on health inequalities and optimising treatment pathways.
