Improving timeliness of NRT administration for tobacco dependence - Maternity

On 17th October 2023, ASH hosted the second in our 2-part series of network events on solutions to improve the pathway for tobacco dependency treatment services.

The event was chaired by Dr Matthew Evison, Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Lung Cancer Physician and clinical lead for the CURE programme Tobacco Addiction.

We explored the experiences of those in Acute, Mental Health and Maternity settings implementing and achieving timely administration of NRT and how quality improvement methodology has helped make change happen.

This video shows the breakout room for Maternity focused NRT administration for tobacco dependence with presentations from:

Heidi Croucher, Lead Treating Tobacco Dependency Midwife (NHS
England Prevention) & Tobacco Dependency Programme Manager, with
Janette Beer, Smoking in pregnancy support worker from University
Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust Maternity Services. Heidi and
Janette answered questions on getting NRT to patients in a timely
way and integrating e-cigarettes into Tobacco Dependency Treatment
services in the maternity setting.
