This is a new guideline from NICE on stop smoking interventions.
If you do nothing else, I would strongly encourage you to do the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training NCSCT e-learning module on offering very brief advice to smokers. It only takes 10 minutes and is excellent. NICE advises that we use the NCSCT methods.
Check self-reported abstinence at 4w with CO monitoring.
"I started using LocumDeck as one of our locums used it. It was easy to see her availability and when bookings are made I get confirmation of the booking and can view them on the calendar too. When invoices are sent, I can see it on the site, and digitally sign the pension form (this is one of the best bits!). I can access it from home or my mobile which is useful as when I am not in surgery is when I usually need a locum."
