Abstract

Background: Pharmacist-led smoking cessation programs in pre-admission clinics (PAC) have shown to increase quit attempts and achieve abstinence by the day of surgery (DOS).

Aims: To evaluate the feasibility of Pharmacist E-script Transcription Service (PETS) initiated nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in PAC, including smoking cessation on DOS.

Methods: A single centre, pre and post-intervention pilot study conducted at an Australian public hospital PAC. In a two-month intervention period, PAC nursing staff invited smokers (≥1 cigarette/day) to see a smoking cessation PET pharmacist.
