Lung Health Checks
Posted or Updated on 4 Oct 2024
NHS Targeted Lung Health Checks (TLHC) are being offered to our eligible patients from October 2024.
The TLHC programme aims to help diagnose lung cancer and other respiratory diseases at an earlier stage, when treatment may be simpler and more successful.
Lung health checks have helped to identify cancer and a number of respiratory diseases at an early stage and provided opportunities for earlier treatment that has saved lives.
Eligible participants will receive a letter inviting them to take part in a telephone assessment with a specialist respiratory nurse.
If you receive an invitation, book your appointment today. #LHCInNLincs
