ENSH WCTOH Smoke-free Hospital membership Initial Phase: Membership of a Smoke-free Hospital Network is acquired by : A letter of commitment from hospital management The designation of a tobacco prevention correspondent for the hospital

ENSH WCTOH Smoke-free Hospital : Bronze level This first phase outlines what a hospital must achieve in order to awarded the bronze level. It is the first step towards becoming a smoke-free hospital label. This stage can be reached in less than 1 year, or in a trimester if a clear engagement of hospital management exists, especially when re- organizing, moving or building are planned, or if a new organization is to be implemented or if any other positive changes are planned within the hospital. On the other hand, when the hospital has problems, it may take longer for it to reach bronze level. For a hospital to reach the bronze level, points 1 and 2 of the European code must be achieved. gold silver bronze

ENSH WCTOH Smoke-free Hospital : Silver level Reaching this level will take longer - from 1 to 10 years. Implementation will proceed in a step-by-step progression. Successful implementation of the minimum standard Smoke-free Hospital policy means that the hospital is fully committed to the minimum smoke-free requirements. The progressive implementation of this stage requires positive and continuous pressure, along with a search for consensus. Constraint needs to be used only as an ultimate action, but may be considered necessary as stated in point 10 of European code. gold Silver bronze First convince, constrain considering legislation if needed. Have patience!

ENSH WCTOH Smoke-free hospital : Gold level gold Silver bronze This stage is the ultimate goal to be reached, with no smoking either inside the hospital buildings or in open areas around the hospital. This ultimate goal will take a long time, often more than 10 years. When this goal is reached, there will still be a need for: Periodic reviews, audits and preventive measures to remain at this level of quality. Provide help to other non-hospital based communities in order to implement further smoke-free places.
