As smoking remains the largest contributor to poor health and is linked to poverty, deprivation, reduced life expectancy and reduced healthy life expectancy, we invite you to join a webinar dedicated to discussing how society can address nicotine addiction from a person-to-system approach across health and the wider determinants of health for the future.
You'll receive insights about the success of wider restrictions, develop a 'smoking’ to a ‘nicotine addiction’ approach, explore integrated care systems, data platforms, and how the NHS's response to nicotine addiction supports improvements in health across healthcare.
We are also pleased to announce that there are bursary places available for students and trainees looking to attend this webinar. Please contact medsoc@rsm.ac.uk to reserve your place.
By attending, you will:
- Receive updates to smoking cessation approaches in acute care
- Implementation practices for new smoking policy in England
- Enable integrated care systems to address inequality through tackling nicotine addiction.
