Summary
The CURE Project is a comprehensive Tobacco Dependency Treatment/Support Programme for all patients that smoke and are admitted to hospital across Greater Manchester.
CURE is recognised nationally as best practice (referenced in the NHS Long Term Plan and the National Respiratory & Lung Cancer GIRFT reports) with MFT clinicians being instrumental in its developments to date.
The Programme is inspired by the Ottawa Model for Smoking Cessation, which is a validated and cost-effective secondary care smoking cessation model originating in Canada.
Data from Canada demonstrated that comprehensive secondary care treatment programmes for tobacco dependency deliver immediate and highly significant reductions in admission rates and mortality.
