About our service
Smoking can seriously damage your health and, if you’re undergoing treatment or surgery, it can harm your chances of a quick and successful recovery. If you’re a patient who smokes, we’re here to help as part of your stay in hospital. Our Treating Tobacco Dependency service offers a full range of treatment and care to help you manage your tobacco dependency and support your quick recovery. As well as improving your health and wellbeing, stopping smoking can also:
- Aid faster recovery, with fewer side effects from treatment
- Improve wound healing
- Help you to have a shorter hospital stay
- Reduce the risk of long term health conditions
All of our Trust sites are smoke free
Smoking is not allowed anywhere on our grounds, however you can vape outside, away from our entrances, exits, open windows and other people. When you are admitted to hospital you will be offered medication and support from our Treating Tobacco Dependency Advisors to remain abstinent or to make a quit attempt while you are with us.
