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.
