The CURE Project

The CURE Project is a comprehensive secondary care treatment programme for tobacco dependency. At its heart is systematically identifying all active smokers admitted to secondary care and immediately offering nicotine replacement therapy and other medications, as well as specialist support, for the duration of the patient’s hospital stay and support to stay smokefree after discharge.
CURE is part of Greater Manchester Integrated Care Partnership’s Making Smoking History programme, which is taking a whole system approach to reduce smoking rates in Greater Manchester.
