Eligibility & assessment
This service is for people aged 12 and over who smoke tobacco and are registered with a Swindon GP (Elm Tree Surgery patients are not covered). If you work in Swindon but live elsewhere and cannot easily access support near home, you may still be eligible. You cannot be registered with another stop smoking service at the same time. Some stop smoking aids are only suitable from age 18. If you are pregnant, we will help you access the specialist Health in Pregnancy Team at Great Western Hospital, who offer enhanced support.
The consultation and support are free. Nicotine replacement therapy is supplied at the cost of one NHS prescription charge per item, or free of charge if you are exempt. Which stop smoking aid is suitable, if any, is a clinical decision made with your practitioner. This service runs at our Moredon branch only.
