Abstract
Older people who smoke derive significant health benefits from stopping smoking in later life. Healthcare practitioners have an important role to play in raising the issue of smoking cessation with this client group; however, they often fail to do so. The aim of this research was to assess the effectiveness of smoking cessation training for healthcare practitioners who have regular contact with older adults. Mixed-methods were used to explore satisfaction with the training, the participants’ learning and any resultant changes in behaviour.
