Smoking on our sites
All our hospitals, clinics, sites and offices are smoke-free.
If you do smoke, or are supporting someone who does, please do so well off our premises due to high-risk areas such as oxygen stores, generator fuel tanks, waste compounds, plant rooms and the fire risk this poses.
If you vape, please be respectful and do so away from public entrances, open windows, and air/ventilation intakes and do not vape inside at all. Please can you also ensure that you do not put vape products which contain batteries into the dustbins as they can cause fires. Thank you so much.
If you do smoke and want help to quit, contact one of our many stop smoking services.
