It is illegal to smoke anywhere on hospital grounds, since March 2021. Help Me Quit are available to support inpatients to quit smoking. On admission to hospital, inpatients can request a referral into Help Me Quit and will be supported throughout the duration of their stay and on discharge by a dedicated Stop Smoking Advisor.
If you’re visiting our main hospital sites and craving nicotine, Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) can be purchased from vending machines at the Grange, the Royal Gwent, Nevill Hall and Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr. In-patients can access NRT free on our wards. Speak to your ward staff for more information.
