About our service
When it comes to lung health, early detection and intervention can make a big difference. We provide lung cancer screening to people with a smoking history, to help reduce the number of early deaths from smoking related illnesses.
Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the UK. It is responsible for a range of illnesses, including lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
If you are aged 55-74 years old, are a current or ex-smoker and registered with a GP, one of our dedicated lung nurses will contact you by telephone. We’ll talk you through the process and discuss potential symptoms. Some people will then be invited to undergo a low dose CT scan.
