Details about the NCSCT

Standard Treatment Programme

This document describes the components of a structured individual face-to-face smoking cessation intervention.

The Standard Treatment Programme (STP) is designed to complement the online resources provided by the NCSCT and to act as a guide to stop smoking practitioners' interactions with individuals who smoke.

This version of the Standard Treatment Programme was updated in October 2019. We are currently in the process of revising the STP to incorporate the Cut Down to Stop (CDTS) option.

An adapted Standard Treatment Programme (STP) for NHS Community Pharmacy Smoking Cessation Service available here.
