We are excited to announce that the second annual edition of The Smoking Cessation & Health Conference (SCaH) will take place on 16th June online, and the programme is now available to view here.
SCaH is the only dedicated event for professionals working in smoking cessation and related services in the UK, that focuses on how to reduce the burden of smoking related death and disease for all sections of the population, and make up for lost time.  We are bringing together the leading experts, latest initiatives, practical tools, case studies, interventions, trials and expert insights to help you explore and understand the opportunities and challenges on the path to driving down smoking rates.  Full details are available here.
