What is a Targeted Lung Health Check?
A Targeted Lung Health Check is a two stage process in which the health of your lungs is assessed. A Targeted Lung Health check is different to NHS health checks. Even if you’ve recently been for an NHS health check, you should still consider attending your Targeted Lung Health Check. The Targeted Lung Health Check Programme is delivered by the NHS.
Get Healthy Rotherham does not provide Targeted Lung Health Checks. If you are eligible to receive a Targeted Lung Health Check, you will be invited to attend one by your GP.
Why have you been invited?
Those aged from 55 to 74 who smoke or used to smoke have a higher risk of developing lung cancer. The NHS wants to check your lungs are working well. It’s rare that an issue is found, but if it is they can act quickly and provide treatment. It’s your decision if you attend a lung health check or not.
