MAIN SPONSOR SYMPOSIUM: From secondary care to the community, a joint approach on the quitters journey
Presenter(s)
Wendy Preston Nurse Consultant, George Eliot Hospital
Darush Attar-Zadeh National Stop Smoking Trainer, Community Pharmacist & Respiratory Clinical Lead for Barnet CCG
Abstract
Smokers may make numerous unsuccessful or partially successful quit attempts before finally managing to become smoke-free. How can we encourage more people to try to quit more often and to use the resources available to them to maximise their chances? Are we ensuring that all patients that begin their quit journey in Secondary Care are completing their journey in the Community?
Join Wendy Preston and Darush Attar-Zadeh as they use case studies to identify where joined up working between Secondary Care and the Community has yielded positive results, and what we can learn from mistakes made in the past.
