Abstract
This presentation will outline an innovative approach to delivering stop smoking services, by using a ‘mobile stop smoking clinic’, to be able to provide a mobile, community-based, go anywhere service! This services has been rolled out across Croydon, Portsmouth and Buckinghamshire and has been successful in targeting areas of highest smoking prevalence, disadvantaged areas, council estates and industrial areas with routine and manual workers by actually taking the service to their ‘door step’. Initial results have been very encouraging and this presentation will provide data on the number of people who set a quit date, demographics, FTND and four week co-validated quit rates
