Collaborating with Healthcare Providers on Cessation Pathways

A new referral network connects smokers who want to quit with certified cessation counsellors through their GP or pharmacist.

Smoke Free Greece has partnered with the Hellenic Society of General Practice and the Pan-Hellenic Pharmaceutical Association to create a seamless referral pathway for smokers seeking to quit. When a patient expresses a desire to stop smoking, their GP or pharmacist can now directly connect them with a certified cessation counsellor within the network.

The network currently includes 48 counsellors across 22 cities. All counsellors have completed an accredited training programme co-developed by Smoke Free Greece and the Medical School of the University of Athens.
