Our in-house tobacco dependency service has expanded into our emergency department at HRI, meaning more people can access support to quit smoking.

The expanded service began last week and operates seven days a week. Smokers attending the emergency department at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary who want to make a quit attempt will be offered a 12-week quit kit, which includes a reusable and recyclable vaping device and a 12-week supply of flavoured e-liquid.

Service Lead, Kate Frost, says: “I am thrilled that the expansion has launched into the emergency department and will provide patients with a new style of opportunity to quit.”
