This simple intervention can help your patients quit smoking

How to access best practice smoking cessation care

A new campaign from Quit Centre is encouraging GPs to access its tools and resources to help their patients quit smoking.

“We know from research that the likelihood of quitting smoking can more than double when a patient is surrounded by support from health professionals and smoking cessation counsellors, along with clinically appropriate pharmacotherapy,” says Emma Dean, acting Quit director.

Now, we’ve launched a new campaign – called Together we can make a difference – encouraging GPs to provide a simple intervention that can increase the likelihood their patients will succeed at quitting smoking.
