Services we provide
We are committed to promoting good health and maintaining a healthy environment for our patients, staff and visitors. This is why all our buildings and grounds are totally smokefree.
We offer a range of free, evidence-based, 12-week programmes to ensure the client can choose the right support for their needs.
We work in partnership with community quit smoking services across the district to ensure people are offered multiple free, convenient and culturally appropriate options for ongoing support.
Coping with being smokefree in hospital
To help you remain smokefree and be comfortable during your stay, staff can provide nicotine replacement therapy, for example, patches, lozenges and gum.
