The Guidance on challenging smokers – patient challenged by colleague
June 25, 2019
Senior leaders in the Trust will be actively encouraging people to stop smoking on our sites from the 5 of July.
Guidance has been produced to support anyone who is on the smoking ban rota. During your walkabout you will encourage people to stop smoking on our sites and give advice and support about the alternatives available. The public are generally very approachable, pleasant and compliant and this should be a great opportunity for you to get out and about and speak directly to your patients, visitors, contractors and even your colleagues. However you must take steps to ensure your safety and this guidance will help to keep safe.
