SubjectPractice Management
DescriptionSmoking Cessation forms part of the Clinical Governance Framework and research shows our patients will expect us to know both why they should stop smoking, and how to help them. This session is designed to help you to find out about current thinking regarding smoking cessation and will highlight the referral processes in Oxfordshire. Whilst this is focused on services in Oxfordshire the content will still be relevant to all delegates. This introductory session aims to give all members of the dental team more confidence in enquiring about smoking and will include details about a further free course that is available on Wednesday 2-10-24 between 6-7pm which will enable you to deliver Very Brief Advice to patients.
