Diagnosing and treating tobacco dependency during an acute hospital admission: a new national framework for all hospital clinicians

09 Oct 2024
Respiratory Keynote Theatre

Tobacco dependency is both the most common and deadliest co-morbidity a hospital clinician will encounter.

The British Thoracic Society has developed a standardised framework to empower hospital clinicians with the knowledge, skills and confidence to provide expert, effective and evidence-based interventions for tobacco dependent patients as part of their admission. This will, in turn, ensure empathetic and meaningful interactions that are both professionally satisfying for the clinician and lifesaving for the patient, as well as ensuring excellence of care in tobacco dependency in line with NICE quality standards.

Speakers
