Smoke-free Policy
Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust (OHFT) went smoke-free on March 2, 2016 across all sites.
As a healthcare provider OHFT has a duty to encourage good health and feels an important part of this is providing a setting that promotes this.
This will apply to all the trust’s buildings and grounds and to all staff, patients and members of the public visiting our sites.
If you are visiting one of our sites and feel that you will find it difficult not to smoke, you can get help and support via the following sources:
Oxfordshire
Local health centres and surgeries across Oxfordshire have trained stop smoking advisers who can provide one-to-one advice and support. Oxfordshire pharmacies now have trained stop smoking advisers who will also be ready to help.
Contact the Oxfordshire Smoking Advice Service on 0845 40 80 300 or email smoking.advice@oxfordhealth.nhs.uk for details of your local trained NHS stop smoking adviser or visit their website.
Buckinghamshire
