BROUGHTON HEALTH ALLIANCE PCN

You’ll receive a letter in the post from your GP.

A phone call or meeting with a health professional will be arranged to discuss your breathing, overall lung health, lifestyle and family and medical history.

There are three possible results from your lung health check:

No problems found – the nurse may find nothing further to investigate and you will be discharged from the lung health check programme. We will write to your GP to tell them this.

Referral to your GP – if problem with your breathing or lung health are found, you might be referred to your GP. We will write to your GP so they know about the appointment.

Offered a scan of your lungs – whether you are offered a lung scan will depend on your chance of getting lung cancer now or in the future. We work out your risk from your lifestyle, medical and family history. The nurse will help you to choose whether the test is right for you. We will write to your GP so they know about the appointment.

Lung Health Checks for your area take place at: Manchester City FC, Etihad Stadium, M11 3FF. Click to view map

This can identify signs of cancer at an early stage when it is much more treatable – ultimately saving move lives.
