About this event

  • Date and time Mon 30 Sep 2024 from 8:00am to 30 Sep 2024 at 6:00pm
  • Location Royal Society of Medicine
  • Organised by Medicine and Society

As smoking remains the largest contributor to poor health and is linked to poverty, deprivation, reduced life expectancy and reduced healthy life expectancy, we invite you to join an event dedicated to discussing how society can address nicotine addiction from a person-to-system approach across health and the wider determinants of health for the future.

You'll receive insights about the success of wider restrictions, develop a 'smoking’ to a ‘nicotine addiction’ approach, explore integrated care systems, data platforms, and how the NHS's response to nicotine addiction supports improvements in health across healthcare.

By attending, you will:

  • Receive updates to smoking cessation approaches in acute care
  • Implementation practices for new smoking policy in England
  • Enable integrated care systems to address inequality through tackling nicotine addiction.

The Nicotine addiction 2024: Poster prize will also be presented and awarded at the meeting. The deadline for submission is Saturday 31 August 2024. Click here to make a submission.
