The module content has been adapted by NHS Health Scotland from materials developed by the NCSCT (The National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training).

This learning programme is based upon evidence-based behaviour change techniques that are proven to maximise the effectiveness of stop smoking interventions.


The course is broken down into a suite of five eLearning modules designed to provide learners with the core knowledge and skills required by stop smoking advisers and community pharmacists in Scotland.

Target audience: this eLearning suite is designed for:

  • stop smoking advisers new to the role
  • stop smoking advisers who may wish to refresh their knowledge and skills
  • pharmacy staff, including pharmacists and pharmacy technicians.
