Community Smokefree and Pharmacy Smokefree Services have been working together across Glasgow City to run specialist stop smoking clinics within priority neighbourhood areas for health improvement, which have traditionally high footfall for smoking cessation services but low quit rates.

David Williams, Chief Officer, Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP) said: “We are pleased to note that the report acknowledges the work undertaken to address the recommendations made following their 2013 inspection. There has been significant financial investment in this service over the past year.

Underpinned by the Scottish Government’s Road to Recovery Strategy and brought to life by its participants, the community-based, North West Recovery Communities (NWRC) has played a major part in helping to transform Alcohol and Drugs Recovery Services across Glasgow over the last five years.
