NIHR 25 September 2017
- A feasibility study which is part of the Manchester Lung Screening Pilot - the UK’s first NHS community-based, CT lung cancer screening service, has demonstrated that the approach helps identify lung cancers at early enough to cure them. People at risk of lung diseases were invited though their GP practice to attend a Lung Health Check at a pop up facility in a supermarket car park. The work was funded by Macmillan Cancer Support and commissioned by Manchester CCGs.
