HIGH-impact visual displays will be set up to encourage staff, patients and visitors to the Alexandra Hospital to quit smoking.

Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust is working closely with the Smoking Advisory Service to provide help and support today, which is national No Smoking Day.

There will also be information on groups set up to help quit smoking available at the hospital and encouragement for those who want to give up the habit.

The trust is also keen to promote the health benefits of giving up under the banner Sick of Smoking.

Meanwhile, a 'quit smoking' session starts on March 20th at Kingsley Sports Centre in Woodrow Drive between 6-7pm.

The sessions run for one hour a week for six weeks. To book a place call 01905 760222.
