The private service problem
Setting up is solved.
Promoting it isn't.
Plenty of providers can help a pharmacy launch a private service. Protocols, training and a listing are easy to find.
The harder question is: where do the patients come from?

The demand is already there. It just needs somewhere local to go.

Signposting, not referral.
No patient records need to move between the practice and pharmacy through this route. Adults remain free to choose where they go.
Nothing of value is provided to the practice or clinician for signposting.
Clinical context
QOF SMOK004 asks practices to record an offer of support and treatment for current smokers.

One device, at every strength.
Choice led. The adult decides when to move to a lower strength, creating a simple structured journey through progressively lower nicotine strengths.
Quixotic is not a medicine. Products are MHRA-notified under TRPR 2016 and are for adults aged 18+.
