Updated SCS resources

Following the publication of the updated specification for the Smoking Cessation Service (SCS) on the NHS England website, we have updated our SCS resources.

This follows the recent change to the Secretary of State Directions, which allowed pharmacy technicians to start providing the service.

We have updated the service page and FAQs page on our website to reflect the changes and updated our resources for use by pharmacy owners and their teams.

The key changes to the service are highlighted in yellow within the service specification; we encourage pharmacy owners to review the changes to the service, update their standard operating procedures and brief their teams accordingly.
