NHS Lung Cancer Screening

Posted by: Max - Posted on:

The Government has announced that the NHS will roll out targeted lung cancer screening across England. Currently, lung health checks are only available in some parts of England. They will be available everywhere by 2029. The NHS in West London is starting the roll out in 2025. 

If you’re eligible, you’ll get a letter, email, text or phone call from your GP or a local NHS service inviting you to an appointment.

You may be invited if all the following apply to you:

  • you live in an area where lung health checks are currently offered
  • you’re aged between 55 and 74
  • you’re registered with a GP surgery
  • you’re a current or former smoker
