NHS Lung Cancer Screening Programme

The NHS Lung Cancer Screening programme (the new name for targeted lung health checks) is for people aged between 55 and 74 who are current or former smokers to help support early detection and treatment of lung cancer. Lung cancer screening is a good way of spotting lung-related problems early on, when any treatment needed can be simpler and more successful.

Often, early problems with the lungs do not cause any symptoms, so it is important to attend when invited even if you feel fit and healthy.

Lung cancer screening is now being offered in all boroughs across north west and south west London.

Over the next few months eligible patients will receive invitations from the Lung Cancer Screening service. If you would like more information before then click here or to make an appointment for lung cancer screening call the booking office on 020 3835 1600
