Treating Tobacco Dependency: ‘The art of the possible’ digital showcase

The Health Innovation Network Treating Tobacco Dependency programme is working with ICBs, Trusts and Local Authorities to deliver a reliable patient pathway from in-patient services to community based support. Part of this work is to enhance the functionality of existing digital platforms and technologies used by Trusts and Local Authorities to improve engagement with patients and the public. At the same time, the programme aims to increase identification of smokers within hospital settings and improve the reliability of data collection and reporting.

Join our webinar to hear from:

• Greater Manchester ‘Make Smoking History’ Team, to learn how they enhanced their in-patient digital pathway to increase patient engagement with in-house services and referral to community-based services
• Smoke Free Digital, available through many Local Authorities and NHS Stop Smoking Services, to learn more about its premium version functionality including access to pharmacotherapy, to help people stop smoking
