Standard Treatment Programme for NHS Community Pharmacy Smoking Cessation Service

The Standard Treatment Programme (STP) complements the NCSCT Training and Assessment Programme which you must take and pass to become an NCSCT Certified Stop Smoking Practitioner.

The STP for the NHS Community Pharmacy Smoking Cessation Service is designed for you to follow closely (do what it says you should do, say what it suggests that you should say) so that you can deliver effective and evidence-based behaviour change techniques to give your patients the best chance of quitting.
