Smoking Cessation
Existing providers of the Smoking Cessation service can continue to provide the service as normal. Birmingham City Council are willing to consider requests from new providers who feel there is a demand for the service in their Pharmacy. Requests for new contracts will be considered on a case by case basis.

Smoking Cessation Voucher Scheme:
Separate to the Smoking Cessation Service, all Birmingham contractors are allowed to participate in the NRT and E-cigarette voucher scheme. You do not need a contract or SLA to supply NRT/EC under this voucher scheme.
– A professional flat rate of £4 is paid for each voucher transaction
– The pharmacy is reimbursed at the drug tariff price plus VAT at 20% for the NRT product supplied. Where a product is not listed in the drug tariff, the trade price plus VAT at 20% in chemist and druggist will be paid
– The pharmacy will be reimbursed £20 (EC starter kit) and £5 (EC consumables) for EC voucher costs
If you would like to participate in the voucher scheme or have any queries please contact rachel.hill@birmingham.gov.uk so your pharmacy can be set-up on Pharmoutcomes to claim for the service.
